While an estimated 2.1 million people live in displacement sites in Somalia, existing information on exact locations and site level vulnerabilities is sparse, and existing assessments have been ad-hoc and unharmonised, resulting in low comparability and verification.
The Detailed Site Assessment (DSA) was triggered in coordination with the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster in order to provide the humanitarian community with up-to-date information on location of internally displaced persons (IDP) sites, the conditions and capacity of the sites and the humanitarian needs of the residents.
Target locations for assessment were selected based on needs identified by the CCCM Cluster and accessibility for data collection. A grid pattern approach was used to identify all IDP sites in a specific area. In each identified site, two key informants (KI) were interviewed: the site manager or community leader and a women’s representative, to ensure the perspectives of different groups were captured. KI responses were aggregated for each site. These were then aggregated further to the district level, each site having an equal weight. Data analysis was done by thematic sectors, that is, protection, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), shelter, displacement, food security, health and nutrition, education and communication.
This factsheet presents a summary of profiles of assessed sites in Afgooye District along with needs and priorities of IDPs residing in these sites. As the data is captured through KIs, findings should be considered indicative rather than generalisable
