    Members of the Rohingya community from Myanmar have sought refuge in Bangladesh at least since the 1970s. Increased attacks on the Rohingya community in Myanmar led to a large increase in migration to Bangladesh and are mostly living in Rohingya refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar. The objectives of the survey were to monitor and evaluate the impacts of UNHCR WASH interventions, to identify and measure weaknesses and gaps, to provide guidance for future interventions and to make sure that UNHCR Bangladesh WASH interventions can be compared to UNHCR global standards. A total of 523 households were surveyed.

    Shimelba Refugee Camp is located in the Tigray regional state of Ethiopia, at about 1210 km from Addis Ababa. In the Shimelba refugee camp, the International Rescue Committe (IRC) is currently providing safe drinking water to 5930 refugees (UNHCR December 30, 2017 report). The existing water system consists of three 50m3 capacity concrete reservoirs and 14 water points with six faucets each and seven hand dug wells, meeting UNHCR standards, with the capacity to supply refugees members with more than 20 liters per person per day. There are 1236 family latrines, 4 public solid waste disposal pits for five zones where their usage is controlled by Environmental Health Agents (EHAs) and sanitation facility attendants regularly. In addition, there are also 15 rooms of public showers and 9 cloth washing basins serving the refugee community. IRC hired 45 EH incentive staffs working on sanitation and HP activities and water system, one water technician officer and one sanitation and hygiene promotion officer for the intervention of environmental health program. The objective of the survey was to assess the current change in knowledge, practice and coverage of Shimelba refugee community in relation to water, sanitation and hygiene. 196 households were interviewed. The study revealed that the majority has good knowledge of at least three critical moments of hand washing, but only few respondents have a permanent functional hand washing facility in their household. This shows that strong behavioral change effort is required to get their knowledge in practice. In general, the identified problems are: high demand of latrine maintenance, privacy of users, availability of hand washing facility, safe water management at home level, hand washing practice, risk of diarrhea disease.

    The security situation resulting from the Boko Haram crisis on the border area of Nigeria, at the end of 2014, caused huge population movements and large influxes to Niger of people, including Nigerian refugees, returned Nigerians and other nationalities (Chadians, Cameroonians etc.). With the attacks of the Nigerian towns of Bosso and Diffa by the Boko Haram in February 2015, the islands of Lake Chad and villages along the Komadougou (Nigeria border), the phenomena have worsened, increasing the population's displacements inside the Diffa region itself. These newly displaced populations have been added to the previously affected groups. The situation for the period of November 2016 shows that approximately 302,407 displaced persons live in the Diffa region including refugees (88,688), returnees (29,315) and internally displaced persons (184404). This situation prompted authorities to allow the opening of the Sayam Forage refugee camp, with 12,000 refugees and returnees from Nigeria. To prevent the spread of hygiene and sanitation-related diseases in these camps, Action Pour le Bien-Etre (APBE), financially supported by UNHCR, conducted WASH activities on this camp. A KAP (knowledge, attitudes and practices) survey was conducted in August 2018 (266 households were interviewed). The study made it possible to note the positive impacts of the WASH initiatives on the populations, thanks to the construction of 19 fountains, creation and training of water point management committees to ensure the hygiene of water points, promotion of good hygiene practices and sanitation. In addition, this study made it possible to observe some points of weakness that should to be addressed, in particular the knowledge of diseases and the causes and prevention of malaria. Furthermore, the idea of construction of other community latrines is to be deepened in the future.

    The Kablewa camp was created on the 4th June 2015 to accommodate the displaced, returned and refugee Nigerians victims of the Boko Haram crisis in Nigeria. The camp is under the mandate of UNHCR, which provides protection and assistance in terms of access to basic social services, in particular health-nutrition, water supply, hygiene and sanitation, community services, coordination of interventions and safety. The camp population increased from 9,851 persons in June 2016 to 16,301 individuals in November 2016, following the attack of Bosso by Boko Haram which caused the displacement of several households to the Kablewa camp. This situation led to assistance needs, particularly in the Water-Hygiene-Sanitation sector. NGO KARKARA, manager of the Kablewa Camp, in collaboration with UNHCR conducted a survey on Knowledge Attitudes and Practices on Water-Hygiene-Sanitation (179 households were interviewed). The aim was to collect information on services offered to the households and measure the level of improvement or deterioration of their living conditions. The overall result shows that the supply of quality water is assured and the quantity is satisfactory. Sanitation facilities (latrines / showers) and waste management system are available but not used by everyone.

    An estimated 723,000 Rohingya refugees have fled violence in Myanmar’s Rakhine state since August 25, 2017. Most of the newly-arrived refugees rely on humanitarian assistance, having left with few possessions and exhausted their financial resources during the journey. The monsoon season began in May and continues into September, threatening the vast majority of refugees living in makeshift shelters and settlements highly vulnerable to floods and landsides. To understand the priority needs of the refugees, a Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA), comissioned by UNHCR and with technical support from REACH, was conducted at the household level in 31 refugee sites (3,171 households were surveyed). Translators Without Borders supported in questionnaire translation and enumerator training. This survey identified a number of areas where the basic needs of Rohingya refugees are being met. At the same time, this assessment has identified continuing service gaps in the Rohingya response. For example, the majority of households do not believe there is enough light at night to safely access latrines, and WASH facilities are generally perceived as dangerous areas for girls under age 18. In terms of access to protection services, only a small number of households report members making use of children and women friendly spaces. Despite widespread distribution coverage of key non-food items such as kitchen sets, demand for these items remains high, and refugees are spending the greatest portion of their limited financial resources on basic items including food, clothing and fuel. Findings suggest that there are uncertainties around actions to prepare for cyclones. The mahjis remain almost the sole focal point for communication and complaints with refugees, reflecting their continued prominent position within refugee communities. Finally, the median household debt is twice the median household income for the 30 days prior to data collection, with only two-fifths of households reporting any source of income at all.

    An estimated 738,000 Rohingya refugees have fled violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state since August 25, 2017. Most of the refugees rely on humanitarian assistance, having left with few possessions and exhausted their financial resources on the journey. The cyclone and monsoon seasons, stretching from May to October, further threatened the living conditions of the vast majority of refugees living who are in makeshift shelters and settlements highly vulnerable to floods and landsides. To understand the evolving priority needs of the refugees, and to understand change over time, this Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA), coordinated by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and with technical support from REACH, was conducted in 33 refugee sites using a household survey methodology (3,165 households were surveyed). It is a follow up assessment to MSNA I in July 2018. Results of this MSNA are generalizable to the camp level with 95% confidence level and 10% margin of error. Support for questionnaire translation and enumerator language training was provided by Translators Without Borders.
