Explains that the well-being of individuals and families in conflict and post-conflict states is a key condition for sustainable peace and long-term development, and matches within countries the differences in scale and intensity of civil conflict with the needs of the affected populations.

These conflicts subject the civilian population, including women and children, to arbitrary violence and to systematic and long-term deprivations of food and public health services. The size and profile of this population, its essential demographic data, and its health and nutritional status are needed information to help set priorities for interventions both during and after the conflict.
