Humanitarian Situation Monitoring aims to collect and then triangulate information regarding service provision, sectoral needs, and vulnerabilities in Afghan communities, in order to support geographical and sectoral prioritizations within the 2024 humanitarian response in Afghanistan, particularly in light of the rapidly evolving context in Afghanistan. HSM also seeks to complement the annual household-level 2023 Whole of Afghanistan Assessment, which assesses/validates the multi-sectoral and sectoral needs of target populations in the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP), by filling in information gaps and enhancing response capacity for district-level prioritization.

Humanitarian Situation Monitoring aims to collect and then triangulate information regarding service provision, sectoral needs, and vulnerabilities in Afghan communities, in order to then support geographical and sectoral prioritizations within the 2022 humanitarian response in Afghanistan, particularly in light of the rapidly evolving context in Afghanistan. The key-informant-based HSM methodology uses settlements as the unit of analysis, using a structured survey tool to interview key informants about the situation in their settlement. A sampling frame covering all 401 districts in Afghanistan was used, covering a minimum of 10% of total settlements in each district. To achieve geographical spread across each district, at least three key informant interviews (KIIs), in a number proportionate to the number of settlements, were conducted in each Basic Service Unit (BSU). To determine a BSU (defined as an economic/geographic service unit which relies on the same services, i.e. healthcare clinics and schools, and common public spaces, i.e. markets and roads), participatory mapping of settlements and services available was conducted prior to data collection. Any analysis conducted using the data in this file will generate statistically non-representative results, as the key informant methodology is indicative

The Humanitarian Situation Monitoring (HSM) is a quarterly community-level multi-sectoral needs assessment. It builds upon the previously implemented Hard-to-Reach assessment and expanded its geographic coverage to encompass the entire country in early 2022, due to the shift in context. HSM aims to collect and triangulate information regularly regarding service provision, sectoral needs, and vulnerabilities in Afghan communities to support geographical and sectoral prioritizations, particularly in light of Afghanistan's rapidly evolving context. HSM assesses the sectoral and multi-sectoral needs of populations in all districts by filling in information gaps and enhancing response capacity for district-level prioritisation.

The eighth round of Iraq's Multi-Cluster Needs Assessment (MCNA) conducted by REACH Initiative in close coordination with the Assessment Working Group (AWG), UN OCHA, and the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG), seeks to understand multi-sectoral priority needs of conflict-affected populations living across the whole of Iraq. Between July 14 and September 23, 2020, a total of 9,634 in-camp IDP, out of camp IDP, and returnee households were assessed in a total of 61 districts in Iraq (including 40 formal camps).

The Whole of Afghanistan Assessment 2022 (Annual WoAA 2022) is a multi sectoral need assessment, conducted based on in-person household-level interviews. This data consists the results collected from the head of household across the country, and provides data on household`s different sectoral and intersectoral needs such as health, education, nutrition, WASH, food security, shocks, protection, and so on. Data for this assessment was collected using stratified cluster sampling and all findings calculated using this data have a minimum confidence level of 95% and a 5% margin of error at the national-level. Urban and rural findings are representative with a confidence level of 90% and a 9% margin of error at the provincial level. Findings of the refugee population have a minimum confidence level of 90% and a 7% margin of error at the provincial-level.

The HSM Pilot aims to monitor how the needs in the districts that were assessed under the Whole of Afghanistan Assessment (WoAA 2021) are evolving under the rapidly changing context in Afghanistan, whilst providing sufficient longitudinal data to allow for the development of an analytical framework that would allow a regular monitoring of humanitarian needs. This pilot is a one-time assessment designed to demonstrate the utility of a broader HSM designed and led by the humanitarian response in Afghanistan. HSM would aim to inform both the geographical and sectoral prioritization to inform a tailored and evidence-based response. To determine the assessment framework, an adapted Hard to Reach (HtR) methodology was used. At least three key informant interviews (KIIs), in a number proportionate to the number of settlements, were conducted in each Basic Service Unit (BSU). To determine a BSU, participatory mapping of settlements and services available were conducted prior to data collection. Key informant networks were developed to cover the entirety of selected districts, stratifying each district’s network by BSU to ensure a minimum of 3 KIs per BSU, each with information covering a different settlement than the others. Any analysis conducted using the data in this file would generate statistically non-representative results, as the key informant methodology is indicative.

Humanitarian Situation Monitoring aims to collect and then triangulate information regarding service provision, sectoral needs, and vulnerabilities in Afghan communities, in order to then support geographical and sectoral prioritizations within the 2022 humanitarian response in Afghanistan, particularly in light of the rapidly evolving context in Afghanistan. The key-informant-based HSM methodology uses settlements as the unit of analysis, using a structured survey tool to interview key informants about the situation in their settlement. A sampling frame covering all 419 districts in Afghanistan was used, covering a minimum of 10% of total settlements in each district. To achieve geographical spread across each district, at least three key informant interviews (KIIs), in a number proportionate to the number of settlements, were conducted in each Basic Service Unit (BSU). To determine a BSU (defined as an economic/geographic service unit which relies on the same services, i.e. healthcare clinics and schools, and common public spaces, i.e. markets and roads), participatory mapping of settlements and services available was conducted prior to data collection.

In close coordination with the Assessment Information Management Working Group (AIM WG), UN OCHA, and the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG), the tenth round of the Multi-Cluster Needs Assessment (MCNA) seeks to understand multi-sectoral household conditions and priority needs of conflict-affected populations living in Iraq. Between June 3rd and August 18th 2022, REACH Iraq and partners collected multi-sectoral household data on vulnerabilities across Iraq, reaching 13,000 households and 70,000 individuals, focusing on Returnee households, IDP households living in and out-of-camp, and host community households. This data has been analyzed, and the 2022 Multi-Cluster Needs Assessment (MCNA X) Preliminary Analysis and Summary Tables (with Arabic translation) is available for download. REACH Iraq is grateful for its partners for committing resources to ensure the completion of the 2022 MCNA in Iraq: Danish Refugee Council (DRC), Arbeiter-Samariter Bund (ASB), Cooperazione Internazionale (COOPI), CARE, Youth Save Organization, People in Need (PIN), INTERSOS. For any additional questions or information queries concerning MCNA X, please contact Ted Jaspers (theodore.jaspers@reach-initiative.org).

Primary data collection employed a key informant (KI) methodology with KI interviews conducted by REACH and CCCM Partners enumerators in locations directly accessible by REACH Field Officers (FOs) and by CCCM partner organizations. The geographical scope of DSA V will be built up around the October 2021 IDP master list which lists a total of 3,589 IDP sites across all regions of Somalia. Following identification of target urban areas, REACH located IDP settlement using very high spatial resolution (VHSR) satellite imagery as available on Google Earth prior to the start of the data collection. After identifying target areas and verifying the existence of IDP settlements, REACH contacted the lowest level of governance (district’s office, mayor’s office, etc.) to triangulate information about settlement location.

REACH Initiative supports the humanitarian response in Iraq by conducting assessments of informal sites in Iraq, in partnership with the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) cluster. The assessment aims to identify movement intentions and highlight the multi-sectoral needs of internally displaced persons (IDPs) residing in informal sites across Iraq. The results of this assessment aim to support evidence-based strategic orientation and inform humanitarian programming in Iraq.

The ninth round of Iraq's Multi-Cluster Needs Assessment (MCNA) conducted by REACH Initiative in close coordination with the Assessment Working Group (AWG), UN OCHA, Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) and partners for data collection, seeks to understand multi-sectoral priority needs of conflict-affected populations living across the whole of Iraq. Between June 09 and August 16, 2021, a total of 11,645 in-camp IDP, out of camp IDP, and returnee households were assessed in a total of 64 districts in Iraq (including 27 formal camps).

REACH initiative, in coordination with the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster, conducted the XV round of Camp Profiling and the eighth round of Movement Intentions in IDP camps. Both assessments seek to understand the multi-sectoral needs of IDPs in camps, their movement intentions in the short and long term, and the barriers that IDPs face to return to their area of origin (AoO).
