Mr. Nageeb Abdulrahman Saeed Al Sa'adi
The crisis of IDPs in Yemen was not the result of today's events, but rather the result of the armed
Houthi group’s invasion of the capital, Sana’a, on September 2014 ,21, although this date isconsidered a decisive point in the displacement crisis in Yemen.
The displacement in Yemen ﬆarted i n 2004 when many people from the diﬆricts of Haidan and Saqain
in Sa'ada were displaced due to the armed rebellion carried out by the Houthi group. These
confrontations led many civilians to ﬂee their original residences for fear of reprisals by Houthi group.
The displacement was associated to Houthi control over the areas in Saada, Hajjah Amran, Sanaa andreaching to Aden in March 2015. This displacement is considered the largeﬆ humanitarian crisis that
Yemen and the region has experienced where approximately ٤ million and 100 thousand citizens weredisplaced in the whole country. Out of this number, two million and 800 thousand IDPs are in the areas
controlled by (internationally recognized government) IRG.
The waves of displacement have conﬆituted a compound crisis for the Yemeni citizen, as IDPs
including women and children that have been aﬀected as well as the hoﬆ community.
Additionally, the wave of displacement led to the loss of individual and governmental income resources
which was reﬂected in the low capacity of the local authorities to provide public services, as well as thedeﬆruction and loss of government services in the areas that witnessed armed attacks by Houthi group.
We are in line with the directions of IRG led by His Excellency, the President Abdo Rabbo Mansour
Hadi and under the generous patronage of the Prime Miniﬆer Dr. Mueen Abdul Malik and based on therole and tasks of Executive Unit as an authority responsible for IDPs and those aﬀected bydisplacement. Through this ﬆudy, which is the result of a ﬁeld survey carried out by Executive Unitﬁeld teams in all governorates of displacement, we put everyone in a clear picture of the situation of
IDPs in the camps, houses and what their needs are with full transparency and impartiality, bearing in
mind the intereﬆ and rights of IDPs and humanitarian work ﬆandards.
The need to reﬆore public services is a priority for IRG and has called on all ﬆakeholders and thehumanitarian partners in Yemen to work jointly to reﬆore and expand public services in the areas
hoﬆing displacement (IDPs).
Executive Unit as responsible for the displacement ﬁle from the governmental side has required andcontinues to demand the necessity of joint work with the humanitarian partners and the necessity of
involving IDPs in drawing up the annual humanitarian response plan according to priority of need in amanner that respects local cuﬆom, dignity and family unity in addition to community peace.

We also demand and ﬆress the joint humanitarian work with the humanitarian partners, and we seethat this is the only solution that will make the humanitarian response eﬀective, tangible and positive.
The length of the displacement period makes it imperative for us as a governmental side and ahumanitarian partner to work together on durable solutions and integrate emergency humanitarian
response with development in areas hoﬆing displacement as a priority and a general humanitarianpolicy for 2022
Dealing with the ﬁle of IDPs in a way that cannot be separated from the ﬁle of illegal immigrationand the ﬁle of refugees in the Republic as the ﬁle of immigrants adds a great burden and leads to thecomplication and deterioration of the already deteriorating humanitarian situation.
All this requires us to respond in a coordinated manner with the displacement ﬁle and in an integrated
manner with the government’s orientation in these ﬁles that makes the government working on
durable solutions is the pillar of the humanitarian response in the Republic of Yemen.
The waﬆe of resources, capabilities will continue unless the governmental side and the humanitarian
partners agree to take the decision in a joint way without unilateralism from either side. Also, joint
planning and working as a team is the only guarantee for the eﬀective use of resources andcapabilities to reach an eﬀective and tangible humanitarian response. This requires will and courageon the part of the humanitarian partners and building the capacities of the governmental side.
The previous period has proven that the unilateral work of the humanitarian partners working in
Yemen without involving the governmental side will not lead to the right and tangible response to thehumanitarian crisis in Yemen, but rather it will lead to prolonging the displacement crisis and waﬆing
humanitarian budgets unless it works with the governmental side as one team and a major partner inhumanitarian planning identifying needs and evaluating interventions.
Executive Unit team has made a great eﬀort and a huge budget in mobilizing the capabilities to bringthis ﬆudy into exiﬆence as a basis for humanitarian planning for the year 2022. We are ready to
discuss this ﬆudy and respond to any comments or inquiries that may be requeﬆed fromhumanitarian partners or ﬆakeholders.
Finally, we highly appreciate the eﬀorts of the humanitarian partners for their eﬀorts during theprevious period and we look forward to working together during the coming period to make thehumanitarian response eﬀective, more feasible and with a measurable tangible impact on improving
the lives of IDPs and local communities

Signiﬁcanceof theStudy

This study gains its significance as it provides information about IDPs in
Yemen by collecting data in a comprehensive inventory method. It also oﬀers acomprehensive and unified database for all needs to facilitate managing
humanitarian interventions by service providers. It is considered as a permanent
database that can be updated periodically to know changes in the demographic
data of the displaced persons, and identify vulnerability cases and the needs ofdisplaced persons in houses and camps regarding shelter, shelter materials,
health, education, WASH, food security and protection, in a way that may
contribute to meet their needs and mitigate the humanitarian cataﬆrophe that
befell the displaced persons as a result of the continuation of the war.

The study relied on various data collection methods such as (field visits,
surveying families in camps and houses, data collection using an electronic
survey form designed on the KoBo program - community committees in thecamps, and focus groups). The comprehensive survey form included 633
items distributed over eight sectors; they are as follows: demographic
indicators, shelter and shelter materials indicators, WASH indicators, healthand nutrition sector indicators, food security indicators, education indicators,
protection indicators and CCCM indicators. The form involved all IDPs
persons in houses and camps.

Summary of Multi-sector Study of IDPs in Yemen

Preparing a comprehensive survey form
The comprehensive survey form (CSF)for the IDPs in houses and camps was prepared by a specialized committee.
The committee held several meetings over the period 2021/01/01 to 2021/05/01. The form was approved in its
ﬁnal version including 633 indicators diﬆributed over eight sectors: demographic data, shelter, education, health,
WASH, food security, protection and CCCM

Designing an electronic survey form
For the purpose of collecting accurate and correct data, the survey form was designed electronically through the
KoBo application, and the form was linked to the camps code and surveyors for maintaining data conﬁdentiality
and ensuring the preservation of the IDPs data and its use for humanitarian purposes only.

Teﬆing the survey form validity
Once the CSF was designed, it was piloted in Aden Governorate, and the surveyors were trained in thegovernorate to collect data and to implement the survey during a speciﬁc period. The data was reviewed, and theremarks provided during collecting data in the ﬁeld were taken into consideration. The ﬁnal version of CSF was
modiﬁed and approved based on the remarks provided

Final design of CSF
After reviewing the form and taking into consideration the surveyors’ remarks, the form was redesigned in its
ﬁnal version.

Preparing the CSF
For the purpose of clarifying the indicators of the survey form for the surveyors, the survey committee held
several meetings from (2021/05/02 to 2021/06/02). The guide includes a description of each indicator in theform.

Preparing a guide for the terms used in CSF
A simpliﬁed guide has been prepared in order to clarify the humanitarian terms, to explain and clarify the terms
contained in the CSF and to facilitate the work.

Formation of supervisory committees for the implementation of the survey
Main and sub-supervisory committees for the purpose of follow-up, supervision and implementation of the survey process,were formed and their tasks were deﬁned according to the survey plan. The main supervisory committee supervised andfollowed up on the implementation of the ﬆudy through managing the sub-committees in the governorates, while thesub-committees supervised the ﬁeld surveyors' teams in the governorates, diﬆricts and residential gatherings.

Determining the geographical framework of the survey process
The geographical framework of the comprehensive survey of the displaced persons in houses and camps was determinedaccording to the IDPs presence. the IDPs are diﬆributed in 14 governorates, and for the purpose of follow-up and supervisionof the implementation of the survey process, the survey was adminiﬆered at three ﬆages. At the ﬁrﬆ ﬆage, the displaced persons
in the camps were surveyed in the governorates (Aden, Lahj, Abyan, Al Dhale'e, Taiz, Al Maharah- Al Hudaydah, Hadramout
and Shabwah) and at the second ﬆage, the governorates of (Marib, Hajjah, Socotra, and Al-Bayda) were surveyed. At the thirdﬆage, the displaced persons in houses in (902) residential gathering were surveyed, they are diﬆributed over the governorates(Aden - Lahj - Abyan - Al Dhale'e- Taiz - Al Maharah- Al Hudaydah- Hadramout - Shabwah - Marib and Al Jawf).

Selection of Field Surveyors
After completing the ﬆage of dividing the geographical framework of the survey process, the surveyors wereselected through speciﬁc liﬆs according to the governorates, camps and residential gatherings of IDPs presence.
(480) surveyors participated in the survey. They were diﬆributed over 14 governorates according to thetime-bound implementation plan of the survey process.

Training Comprehensive Survey Committee Members
The main committee members of the comprehensive survey of the displaced persons held several training
meetings. In such meetings a brainﬆorming was conducted to cryﬆallize the ideas of the survey implementation
plan and how to eﬆablish the supervisory and ﬁeld teams in governorates and explain the form indicators and how
to deal with inquires expected by supervisory and ﬁeld teams.

Training Sub-Committees' Members in Governorates
Members of the supervisory committees in the governorates were trained on the form, the guide, and how to deal with thevarious qualitative and quantitative indicators contained in the CSF. They were also trained on how to create electronic groups
via WhatsApp application to explain the form to the sub-committees in the governorates, and how to collect data and clarify thetime-bound implementation plan for the survey.

Training Field Surveyors
Four hundred and eighty (480) surveyors were trained in all governorates. They were diﬆributed over (548)
camps, and electronic groups were created via WhatsApp application to clarify the indicators of the survey form,
the use of the guide, and how to enter the data in the KoBo application.

Reviewing the Data
After collecting the data by the ﬁeld teams of the survey, it was entered and sent by KoBo application, then it wasreviewed according to a speciﬁc schedule. Various tools and methods were used to verify the accuracy of the datacollected to provide feedback to the surveyors in the governorates in order to correct, review and approve it in its
ﬁnal version.

Data Analysis
After the data was ﬁnalized and approved, the data was analyzed using the descriptive analysis method according
to the indicators of the diﬀerent sectors represented in demographic data, indicators of shelter, health, education,
food security, WASH, protection and CCCM.
