Kutupalong Potential Facilities for Upgrade

This dataset comprises of 644 facilities that were classified as not exposed to a flood or landslide hazard within the 21 Kutupalong Refugee Camps to assess which facilities would be optimal for further shelter upgrades and reinforcement.  An index was created for prioritization and of these 644 sites, 224 were identified as having optimal indicators for further site visits.  Corresponding maps for these 224 sites can be found on the REACH Resource Centre or ReliefWeb.   It should be noted that ALL 644 facilities not exposed to a flood or landslide hazard should be explored as viable options for awareness raising to the local Camp/Majhee populations.  For further information regarding the indicators used for the analysis please see the caveats section below.

Mozambique - Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA)

In April 2024, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) agreed on conducting a MSNA in Mozambique covering 9 provinces and 3 population groups (IDPs,  returnees and host population), to provide valuable information on critical needs’ magnitude and severity, aiming to highlight gaps and priority areas of intervention for the humanitarian response in 2025.
 
 
Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA) is a tool used by the humanitarian community to determine the nature and scale of a crisis and the needs of a given population in specific geographic locations through the collection of primary data. A MSNA supports evidence- based planning and decision-making during the Humanitarian Planning Cycle (HPC) and other strategic humanitarian processes.

REACH Southern Idleb Northern Hama Rapid Needs Assessment 25-26 February 2019

Since the end of January 2019, southern Idleb and northern Hama governorates have seen a significant escalation of conflict. Shelling and airstrikes intensified in the area, leading to a deterioration of the humanitarian situation. In response, REACH conducted a rapid needs assessment to provide actors with an update on the humanitarian situation.
The latest conflict escalation affects an area that is home to an estimated 700,000 residents and internally displaced persons (IDPs), increasing vulnerability, and in some cases, leading to secondary and tertiary displacements. From late 2017, the region has witnessed a large-scale influx of IDPs, following escalations of conflict and displacements from formerly opposition-held areas in south-east Idleb, south-west Aleppo, Rural Damascus, Homs, Hama, Dar’a and Quneitra governorates. The increase in IDP population in Idleb governorate and surrounding areas has led to a growing strain on resources and an increase in inter-communal tensions in the region. Further complicating the situation, there has been increasing concern regarding a potential military offensive in the region since September 2018, with shelling and airstrikes occurring with increased frequency. While the mid-September 2018 announcement of a demilitarised zone put a pause on concerns over an imminent military offensive in the region, clashes have continued unabated.

Data for this assessment was collected from 25-26 February 2019 in 85 opposition-controlled communities in 12 sub-districts via community-level key informant (KI) interviews. KIs were asked to report on the previous week (18 to 25 February). This dataset provides the findings for indicators on demographics, shelter, food, livelihoods, electricity & NFIs, WASH, health, education, protection, reported priority needs, and reported movement intentions.

Ukraine Humanitarian Trend Analysis 2018

As the conflict in Eastern Ukraine is into its fourth year, ongoing and widespread ceasefire violations along the ‘line of contact’ and the restrictions on movement of people and goods continue to pose significant risks to civilian populations in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. 2017 and 2018 saw the conflict intensify, leading to a significant loss of lives, major concerns over the protection of civilians and significant damage to critical infrastructure. Overall, 3.4 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection .

It is therefore necessary to update the previous multi-sector needs assessment reports (IAVA, Trend Analysis, Winter Assessment) with a new and relevant data, and further investigate the trends of the changing humanitarian situation on the ground through both secondary data review from other humanitarian actors, as well as primary field collection of data to fill the gaps identified in the humanitarian data available.

General Objective To understand and track changes in humanitarian needs of populations living in conflict affected areas in government controlled areas of Ukraine.

Cox's Bazar District - Refugee Camp WASH Infrastructure Coding 2019

In early 2019, UNICEF and the Cox's Bazar WASH sector identified a need to comprehensively map key WASH infrastructure using physical unique identifier (UUID) tags, in order to produce a database containing information about each piece of infrastructure across the camps. The objectives of this effort were to facilitate accurate, consistent spatial identification of unique infrastructure by all interested actors, to provide a baseline ‘snapshot’ of WASH infrastructure functionality at the time of coding, and to establish a common dataset to be used by all partners. The core infrastructure being covered by this exercise includes tubewells, latrines, and bathing facilities.

Afghanistan: Humanitarian Situation Monitoring (HSM) Round 9 KII (Data)

The Humanitarian Situation Monitoring (HSM) methodology relies on key informants to gather information about service provision, multi-sectoral needs, demography, and emerging trends. HSM assessment is conducted quarterly using a structured survey tool to monitor needs evolution and prioritise actions accordingly. The estimated population of the settlements where the interviews are conducted in this round represents 54% of the national population. Those settlements cover 21% of known settlements at the national level. The methodology utilizes a sampling approach based on Basic Service Units (BSUs) to ensure effective geographic distribution and comprehensive coverage. BSUs represent communities with similar levels of service access and humanitarian needs. Defined as intermediate economic and geographic units, BSUs are smaller than districts but larger than individual settlements. Each BSU includes shared public spaces, such as markets and roads, as well as essential services like healthcare facilities and schools.

The sampling strategy involves the following: 
- All districts and Basic Service Units are covered. 
- One key informant is selected and interviewed per assessed settlement. 
- A minimum of 3 key informants are interviewed per Basic Service Unit. 
- At least 12% of known settlements in each district are covered. 
- Additional settlements beyond the minimum of 3 are sampled based on the population factor per Basic Service Unit. 

It is important to note that any analysis conducted using this methodology will not generate statistically representative results, as the key informant methodology is indicative. For analysis regarding Basic Service Units, please feel free to request.

Ethiopia flooding  Somali region

UNOSAT produced satellite-detected flood water extent in Somali Region, Ethiopia. The analysis was conducted by analysing a Sentinel-1 image acquired on the 1 May 2018. As observed from the satellite radar image, a total of 9,200 ha of land were inundated in the area of interest. By using WorldPop data, we estimate that at least 12,000 people are potentially affected or living close to the flooded area. This corresponds to about 7% of the population living in the area of interest. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR UNOSAT.
