El departamento de Magdalena por muchas décadas ha sido una zona de múltiples afectaciones de índole humanitaria. El municipio Ciénaga particularmente ha sido un territorio receptor de victimas del conflicto armado debido a su cercanía a la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta donde Grupos Armados No Estatales se resguardan estratégicamente para controlar el paso de tránsito entre varios departamentos donde se producen cultivos ilícitos y los puertos al norte del país por donde salen estos productos. Ciénaga a su vez ha recibido un flujo migratorio de población refugiada y migrante venezolana ya que es un territorio donde los costos de vida son relativamente bajos y queda ubicado cercano a territorios donde la producción agrícola es la principal actividad económica y pueden encontrar empleo. Por otro lado, Ciénaga al estar delimitado en el costado occidental por la Ciénaga Grande y en el norte por el Mar Caribe, el municipio de Ciénaga se encuentra expuesto a los riesgos por variabilidad climática que van de extremo a extremo. Por un lado, las temporadas de lluvias (fenómeno de la Niña) y las épocas de huracanes tropicales en el océano Atlántico ocasionan que anualmente la cabecera municipal presente inundaciones por crecimiento de la Ciénaga Grande y por erosión costera, lo cual deriva en victimas que pierden pertenencias dentro de sus viviendas e inclusive las mismas viviendas si estas están construidas de materiales inadecuados. Por otro lado, las épocas de sequía afectan las zonas rurales de Ciénaga ocasionando la muerte de cultivos y de animales. Una tercera problemática por inundaciones se presenta por las obras fallidas de drenaje y acueducto que ocasionan inundaciones en varios sectores del municipio.

The Whole of Afghanistan Assessment (WoAA) 2024 is a multi-sectoral needs assessment conducted through in-person, household-level interviews across all provinces of Afghanistan. This dataset analyzes households' sectoral and intersectoral needs across various sectors, including health, education, nutrition, WASH, food security, and protection, among others. The results are representative of rural and urban populations , female- and male-headed households , as well as displaced population groups.

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

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.

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.

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).

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.

The multi-sector needs assessment (MSNA) was the third assessment conducted by REACH in Lebanon. The main objective of this MSNA is to provide a comprehensive overview of the multi-sectoral needs and humanitarian conditions across all governorates for three population groups in Lebanon: Lebanese, migrants, and Palestine Refugees in Lebanon (PRL) residing in camps. This is the summary dataset. The full dataset can be requested on the "Multi-Sector Needs Assessment Lebanon - Lebanese HHs" page.

La Iniciativa Conjunta de Monitoreo de Mercado (JMMI - Joint Market Monitoring Initiative) es el resultado del esfuerzo conjunto del Grupo de Transferencias Monetarias de Colombia (GTM) desde noviembre de 2019. Los objetivos y diseño metodológico de esta iniciativa responden a las necesidades de información para mercados de comercio, alojamiento y salud sexual y reproductiva, reportadas desde la Encuesta conjunta de Necesidades del Grupo Interagencial sobre Flujos Migratorios Mixtos (GIFMM) (2023) y el Plan de Respuesta a Prioridades Comunitarias 2024-2025 (PRPC).

En los últimos años, los flujos migratorios en América Latina y el Caribe han incrementado y se han diversificado considerablemente como consecuencia, entre otros factores, de la crisis migratoria venezolana, los graves y prolongados efectos económicos y sociales de la pandemia del Covid-19, y la creciente inflación e inseguridad alimentaria que se vive en la región. A partir del éxodo de más de 7 millones de venezolanos, distintos países de la región que no tenían una tradición migratoria establecida se han convertido en lugar de tránsito y recepción de personas provenientes de este país. En la mayoría de países de acogida, la población venezolana no ha alcanzado un estatus regular, enfrenta dificultades de integración y xenofobia, y no cumple con requisitos legales de ingreso, por lo que frecuentemente utiliza pasos irregulares. En los dos últimos años, la migración proveniente de Venezuela a países de la región continuó, si bien se evidenciaron cambios en su movilidad, entre los que se encuentran: movimientos de retorno a Venezuela, flujos multidireccionales y migraciones secundarias a otros destinos del hemisferio. Durante este periodo han aumentado dramáticamente los movimientos desde Suramérica a Estados Unidos a través del Tapón del Darién, en la frontera colombo-panameña: en los tres primeros meses de 2023, este flujo alcanzó un número récord, con más de 100.000 personas entradas irregulares a Panamá registradas, la mayoría de las cuales eran de nacionalidad venezolana, haitiana, y ecuatoriana, así como población extracontinental.

La Evaluación Basada en Área (EBA) en Maicao y Riohacha realizada por REACH Colombia busca evaluar las características sociodemográficas; las intenciones de movilidad de la población de interés; y la percepción comunitaria respecto a la asistencia humanitaria y analizar las dinámicas de coordinación entre las organizaciones humanitarias, con el fin de identificar brechas, oportunidades y el nivel de participación comunitaria en los procesos de asistencia y coordinación humanitaria. Se prioriza la visión de diversos actores, como grupos poblacionales particularmente afectados, representantes políticos, miembros de organizaciones internacionales y locales y líderes comunitarios.

The dataset for the 2021 Libyan population Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment can be requested here. The data summaries for the dataset can be viewed on the "REACH Libya 2021 Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (Libyan Population) - Data summaries" page. The needs assessment covers protection, health, WASH, Shelter and NFI, Education, food security, livelihoods, cash, and markets. A total of 8871 household surveys were completed across 45 baladiyas (ADM3) in Libya. Due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions and safety measures, all surveys took place over the phone. A non-probability, quota based sampling methodology was established, to ensure an accurate and robust cross-section of the Libyan population. Quotas were established for baladiyas (quota 1) and sub-groups within the population (non-displaced, IDPs, and returnees) (quota 2). Findings presented are not representative, and should be read only as indicative. Sampling of respondents was done primarily through Civil Society Organisation (CSO) networks, municipalities, International Non-Government Organisation (INGO) partners, and various local committees. 1000 of the total number of surveys were sampled through Random Digit Dialing (RDD) by a Libyan company specialized in this methodology. Additional sampling and data collection was done by international and national NGO partners and UN programmes. Quantitative data collection took place between 14 June and 31 July.
