SMART+ is an all-in-one digital infrastructure designed to revolutionize the way nutrition data is collected, analyzed and shared.
SMART+ builds on the foundation of the SMART methodology, bringing today’s manual nutrition survey processes into the digital realm. SMART+ will provide a real-time global view of malnutrition on the ground, allowing governments, public health organizations and NGOs to identify where malnutrition is occurring so they can respond in a targeted, timely manner.
SMART+ streamlines today’s fragmented and time-consuming survey methods into an easy-to-use tool that incorporates the nutrition survey and reporting process from start to finish.

Mobile App: Rather than filling out extensive paperwork, survey teams can now record data on nutrition, food security, WASH and other indicators with a few clicks on a mobile device, directly from the field.
Platform: This centralized survey management tool allows survey coordinators to plan, monitor and administer nutrition surveys and share the results. The data collected in the field via the mobile app is automatically uploaded to the platform, so survey coordinators can continuously supervise their teams and track results in real-time.
Aggregator: The aggregator is a central, web-based repository that stores global SMART survey data. The aggregator pulls together different datasets so results can be displayed by geographical area on the dashboard. It also contributes timely data for situation analysis mechanisms such as Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), Humanitarian Nutrition Overview (HNO), Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), and can contribute to AI algorithms that use standardized multisectoral data for famine prediction.
Dashboard: The dashboard provides a live visualization of global SMART survey results that can be viewed down to the subnational level. The dashboard will provide a clear picture of the nutrition situation and improve the decision-making process so funding can be properly allocated and prioritized and policies and programs can be designed accordingly.
SMART+ will address many of today’s challenges by streamlining the collection, analysis, and monitoring of nutrition data which in turn allows stakeholders to better identify where intervention is needed, and facilitate a collaborative and coordinated response when a crisis occurs.
