Food Insecurity, WASH UPDATES

Date Added: Apr 26, 2010;

visit the UN NGO collection of information about the WASH cluster (Water Sanitation Hygiene)
then select files, and sort so most recent additions are on top
http://groups.google.com/group/wash-response-haiti-2010/files?&sort=date
About 30 new reports have been added so far this week.

Of interest to answering some recent questions

April 21 100420_All_Reports_Organisation.xls

This is an Excel listing approx 1117 camps with their population, geography (SSID Long Lat), count various facilities, problems (sheet 1 lists the questions that have the yes no responses)

There's an atlas mapping the locations of Haiti camps (as of April 10) here:
http://groups.google.com/group/cccmhaiti/web/mapping-and-gis?_done=/group/cccmhaiti%3F

Notice pages for each of several departments
There are contact lists IN FRENCH charting which of these people involved in which clusters
Since in French, not obvious to me if they are all with some NGO, or if some of them are municipal government community contacts

I think you might be interested in the GOOD ENOUGH GUIDE to see if the standards here are really adequate. I suggest you visit the UN NGO collection of assessments,

http://groups.google.com/group/assessmentshaiti

Assessments are where they visit various sites & do like a Census of the problems, to help NGOs etc. identify gaps to fill, funding permitting.

I suggest you skim over the topics of Ongoing Assessments to see if there's any there not yet in Plan Haiti, that you desire linking there.

Structural Damage Assessment (SDA)

Displacement Tracking System (DTM) (IOM/ CCCM Cluster)

Site Planning and Land Assessment

Environmental Risk Assessment (IOM and UNEP)

I suggest you select Assessment FILES, sort by date so most recent up top, view the power point

GRT Brief

I sort by date from time to time to see what's new since the last time I was there. This can be done with each of these UN NGO groups. Some of these groups we have to register, so as to access the data.

Then return to HOME page & review latest reports, such as EFSA (Emergency Food Security Assessment), March 2010

FOOD

Who are the food-insecure and vulnerable people?
 The most food insecure people are those living in large camps (69%).
 Households sleeping outside their neighbourhoods of origin are food insecure (72%)
 The most food insecure livelihoods include those that rely on unskilled labour and social assistance for revenue, and those that have no source of revenue currently.
 Female headed households are more food insecure than male headed households (60% vs. 45%). However, single headed households, irrespective of their gender, are more vulnerable, particularly those with multiple children.
 There is a large increase of asset-poor households; these households are amongst the most food insecure (63%) as compared to the households that are still currently asset-rich (22%).
 Households with partially or completely destroyed homes are more likely to be food insecure.
 Across the country, the vulnerable and chronically food insecure households hosting IDPs, as well and the IDPs themselves, are experiencing increasing levels of food insecurity.

In the coming months, the situation could get worse.
