Following the first round of nutrition surveys conducted one month after the tsunami, a second round survey was conducted in May 2005, to track the changes in the nutritional status of children living in 12 tsunami-affected districts. This report depicts the findings and recommendations of the second round survey. The report also compares the findings of the second survey with that of the first round survey and gives a better understanding of how the nutritional status of children evolved, over time.
