Assessment Methodology

Nanona

Main Findings – Summary

The proposed relocation site has been informally occupied, with shelters already built. The site is located on the Pemba – Montepuez road, roughly 6 km to Metoro. The only support that the IDPs received until now is food from WFP. There was some movement of families from Metoro to the site, as some of the IDPs were forced out of the houses they were renting. The local community is located nearby, around 10 minutes walking. The host community is composed of roughly 5,000 persons. 2,480 IDPs are reportedly already on site, originating from several districts.
