NEEDS ANALYSIS

Strong coordination on winter plan and response is required to make sure the most vulnerable people in need, in camps and out of camps settings are reached with appropriate support.
As per the IOM-led DTM report, 3.2 million IDPs and 2.6 million Returnees have been identified across the country, from January 2014 to 31 st October 2017.

▪ The number of IDPs has increased in Camps (from 18% of 3.0 million beginning of Jan.’17 to 24% of 3.2 million end of Oct.’17);

▪ 49% of the 3.2 million IDPs are currently in private settings (in rentals and in host families) while 12% remain in critical shelter arrangements (unfinished/abandoned building; school/religious buildings and informal settlements) and 15% in other unspecified shelter types.

▪ The number of returnees has increased (from 1.4 million beginning of Jan.’17 to 2.6 million end of Oct.’17);

▪ 95% of the returnees are in their habitual residence while 5% remains in critical shelter arrangement and in private settings.

However MCNA (round-4&5) conducted in April and August revealed that 24% of the returnees remain in very crucial Shelter/NFI need.
