SITUATION OVERVIEW AND NEED ANALYSIS
-
After 10 years of conflict, over 2.8 M people are displaced and 1.7 M live in IDP sites in NWS (CCCM).
-
83% of IDPs are living in IDP sites with a critical level of population density (CCCM).
-
57% of households (HH) across the total NWS population live in finished houses/apartments, 15% in tents and 12% in makeshift shelters (HNAP/SNFI).
-
46% of HH have been unable to afford shelter repairs.
-
35% of HH have faced natural disasters exacerbated by climate change (flooding, wind/dust storms, fire).
RESPONSE
-
470,000 people received shelter assistance in the first half of 2021.
-
Main shelter activities include the provision of emergency shelter, shelter rehabilitation, transitional shelters, and infrastructure improvements.
-
Shelter Cluster advocates for a range of shelter options including life-saving solutions, longerterm transitional shelters, and integrated site planning and settlements approaches to address situations of protracted displacement. (See SNFI Dignified and Safer Living Conditions)
-
Shelter Cluster advocates for timely Winterization support.
GAPS / CHALLENGES
-
Most IDPs are facing protracted displacement.
-
Significant need for infrastructure support, especially in c.1,400 self-settled/unplanned sites.
-
85% of HH report that their tent is more than one year old, leaving the tent prone to damage, leakage and weather conditions (HNAP/SNFI).
-
54% of people report cold and damp shelter conditions, 38% report lack of heating, and 33% lack of space as the main shelter issues.
-
Adequate shelter response to new displacement will be challenging in the context of limited response capacity and already high needs.
