SMART (Standardized Monitoring and Assessment of Relief and Transitions) is an inter-agency initiative, which was launched in 2002 by a network of organizations and humanitarian practitioners including; donors, policymakers,  and leading experts in emergency epidemiology and nutrition, food security, early warning systems, and demography.

Briefly, the SMART methodology is an improved survey method based on the two most vital, basic public health indicators to assess the severity of a humanitarian crisis: nutritional status of children under-five and mortality rate of the population . These indicators are useful for assessing needs and prioritizing resources, as well as for monitoring the extent to which the relief system is meeting the needs of the population and thus, the overall impact of the relief response. SMART was initiated mainly to improve technical capacity of implementing partners to carry out, analyze, interpret and report on survey findings in a standardized manner to ensure nutrition/health data is reliable.
