The overall objective of the assessment was to inform humanitarian intervention planning through the identification of key protection-based needs and vulnerabilities of conflict-affected populations, specifically focusing on the impact conflict has on these needs and vulnerabilities.

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.

In early November, WHO initiated a joint WHO/GoB/UNFPA/UNHCR/IOM/UNICE data collection exercise of all health facilities within and near the Rohingya refugee sites, with the aim of mapping facility locations. The first version was published on the 18th November with data collected between the 8th and 12th of November. This second version is an update to the previous version and contains information collected until December 12th, 2017. However, due to the highly dynamic nature of the situation, new health facilities are still being constructed and others removed. It is therefore important to note that this may not be comprehensive or truly representative of infrastructure at the time of publication. Also note that the spatial accuracy of this dataset is at best just under 5m, which can influence the analysis of infrastructure coverage.

Due to the emergency situation in Southern Syria, REACH and its partners are conducting a Rapid Market Monitoring exercise that will take place on a weekly basis. The first round of data collection was from July 2nd to July 3rd 2018, and a follow up round July 10th to July 11th. In addition to data collection of SMEB components, the dataset also includes information on community supply route dynamics during the rapidly changing situation

Rapid needs assessment conducted across 255 communities in Idleb Governorate and surrounding opposition held areas in north western Hama, and western Aleppo. Dataset includes demographics, IDP movement intentions, and sectoral information for shelter, food security, livelihoods, electricity and NFIs, WASH, Health, Education, and Protection. Data was collected from May 24th to the 31st.

The overall objective of the Hard to Reach component of the Whole of Afghanistan Assessment was to supplement of the household data collection with an understanding of the multi-sectoral needs faced by those in Hard to Reach areas. This data ought to inform humanitarian programming in these districts and support the identification of nationwide inter-sectoral needs and how they inter-relate across different geographic locations and population groups outlined in the Humaniarian Needs Overview (HNO). The Hard to Reach component of the Whole of Afghanistan (WoA) Assessment utilised Mapping Focus Group Discussions for the mapping process and Key Informant Interviews with knowledgeable community members to identify needs and access constraints. This data complemented the household-level data collection component of the Whole of Afghanistan. The presented dataset here includes the key informant responses across the 70 Hard to Reach districts, conducted to capture inter-sectoral needs of displaced and host households in these areas of Afghanistan.

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.

Recognizing an information gap within existing road network datasets in the Southern Teknaf camps of Coxs Bazar District (Camps 24-27 and Nayapara Registered Camp), REACH dispached field teams to the area for a roads and paths mapping exercise from November 14-15, 2018. Areas within and on the edges of the camps were divided into grid cells, through which REACH field teams systematically traversed all paths while carrying GPS tracking devices. This dataset was then merged with the existing OpenStreetMap (OSM) roads and paths dataset for the area to provide a comprehensive map of roads and footpaths in and around the camps for mapping and spatial analysis purposes. When present in this dataset, OpenStreetMap attributes and identifiers have been preserved. This exercise was carried out with the support of European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO)

Supported by UNICEF and in collaboration with the Cox's Bazar WASH sector, REACH collected household-level data on key WASH indicators across 33 out of 34 recognised ISCG camps between 14 August and 2 October. Data is representative at camp level at 95 confidence level/10% margin of error, and representative at aggregate level at 95% confidence level/5% margin of error. A total of 3,563 interviews were conducted for this assessment. This file contains the cleaned, anonymised raw dataset. This assessment is a follow-up to an April 2018 baseline, for which the data is available here: https://data.humdata.org/dataset/reach-unicef-wash-household-baseline-survey

Idleb governorate and the surrounding opposition-held areas of western Aleppo and north-western Hama governorates* host one of the largest IDP populations in Syria. Since late 2017, following an escalation of violence in north-western and southern Syria, the region has witnessed the further arrival of a substantial number of IDPs. Large cross-line displacements from Eastern Ghouta, northern Homs and southern Hama, as well as Da'ra and Quneitra governorates, beginning in March 2018, have led to a significant increase of the IDP population in the region and to a growing strain on resources and services in the region. While humanitarian assistance is reaching both IDP and resident populations, major gaps remain. In order to address such gaps, REACH has conducted a needs assessment to inform humanitarian actors of IDP and resident populations' priority needs and to address critical information gaps on the humanitarian conditions of IDPs and residents living in communities in the region. This data set provides the findings from this assessment. Findings presented in this data set are based on data collected by REACH as part of a needs assessment focused on IDP and resident populations living in communities of Idleb governorate and surrounding areas. Data was collected in 362 communities across 30 sub-districts between 12 and 20 August 2018. Data was collected at the community level, with enumerators interviewing between 2 and 7 key informants (KIs) per community and with KIs selected based on their knowledge of IDP and resident populations in the community and sector-specific expertise. Communities were assessed based on available data on total populations, focusing on those reported to have large IDP and resident populations and those that have received a high number of IDP arrivals in the two months prior to the start of data collection. Collected primary data was further triangulated through available secondary sources.

The overall objective of the assessment is to inform the response of the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Cluster for the ongoing dry spell in Afghanistan. The assessment aims at supporting the Cluster to better identify target population groups, priority areas and relevant interventions.
