3 Outline Background Forced displacement Research objective Methods Results Conclusions Understand current conditions Qualitative and quantitative Interview themes and descriptive statistics Improving monitoring in forced displacement settlements 3
4 Background 68.5 million forcibly displaced individuals worldwide (UNHCR, 2018) 40 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) 25.4 million refugees 3.1 million asylum seekers 58% of refugees live outside of camps (UNHCR, 2018) 85% of refugees live in low- and middle-income countries (UNHCR, 2018) Significant increases in post-displacement mortality rates for both IDPs and the hosting population (Heudtlass et al., 2016) A significant proportion of refugee mortality and morbidity is attributable to inadequate WaSH conditions (Cronin et al., 2009) 4
5 Research objectives How do UN agencies measure success in WaSH for forced displacement settings? Are the current WaSH conditions in forced displacement settlements adequate? Settlement for Syrian refugees 5
6 How do UN agencies measure success in WaSH for forced displacement settings? 6
7 Interview data Semi-structured interviews with WaSH staff from: UNHCR The International Organization for Migration (IOM) The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) The United Nations Children s Fund (UNICEF) The World Health Organization (WHO) Interviews in-person, Skype, or Interviews were transcribed and coded to find themes (Bernard and Ryan, 2010) 7
8 Interviewee characteristics Eighteen interviewees Affirmative response rate of 44% Half or more: Identify as male (94.4%) Identify as an engineer (77.8%) Work only with refugees (56.2%) Work only in a protracted displacement (56.2%) Work for UNHCR (50%) Work at their organization less than five years (66.7%) UNHCR WaSH staff on a field visit 8
9 Data collection practices Sampling Most organizations use simple or systematic random sampling Difficult to sample displaced living in host community Indicators and Targets Population based indicators perceived to be important but inaccurate Most commonly used indicators Water: Liters of water per person per day (L/P/D) Sanitation: Persons per toilet (P//T) Hygiene: Household access to soap Most use Sphere Standards, but adjust based on context and priorities 9
10 Are the current WaSH conditions in forced displacement settlements adequate? 10
11 UNHCR key WaSH indicator data Collected data from field staff on UNHCR s four key WaSH indicators in 203 settlements Analyzed data according to UNHCR targets: Standard Liters of water per person per day (L/P/D) Persons per toilet (P/T) Persons per hygiene promoter (P/HP) Persons per shower (P/S) UNHCR Emergency (0-6 months since last influx) UNHCR Post-Emergency (>=6 months since last influx) >=15 <=50 <=500 <=50 >=20 <=20 <=1000 <=20 11
12 Location of reporting settlements 12
13 Location of population 13
14 Percent of settlements providing adequate water quantity 14
15 Percent of settlements providing adequate toilet quantity 15
16 Percent of settlements providing adequate quantity of hygiene promoters 16
17 Percent of settlements providing adequate shower quantity 17
18 Percent of settlements meeting UNHCR s standards for all four WaSH indicators 18
19 Limitations No qualitative or quantitative data for Latin America No quantitative data on Palestinian settlements Two methods for collecting L/P/D Possible that field staff did not respond because their indicators were poor Possible that there is better service in settlements where there is field staff WaSH Sector Coordination Meeting 19
20 Recommendations Improve data by: Devoting more resources to host community Calculating L/P/D through household supply method Adjusting indicators Emergency: public health priority indicators (Spiegel et al., 2002) Post-emergency: the Joint Monitoring Programme s indicators for progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6) Create a thematic report on progress towards achieving SDG 6 in camps 20
21 Conclusions Most organizations use emergency standards past emergency stage Only 7.0% of displacement settlements meeting the UNHCR post-emergency standards for their four WaSH indicators Since 2006 the percent of settlements (UNHCR, 2008): Providing at least 20 L/P/D has decreased by 4.7% With less than or equal to 20 P/T has decreased by 0.5% Significance o First study to report on the WaSH monitoring practices of IOM and UNRWA o Largest study of WaSH conditions in displacement settings, representing the living conditions of 5.5 million people 21
