Recommendation: WFP to provide 2 months food assistance to (46 households) of this caseload.

(22) Displaced households in this caseload are paying some amount of rent for their accommodation while (13) households are accommodated as hosted and 11- households are living with their relatives as free of charge. According to assessment teams IDPs in this caseload are also anxious about potential home damage that may have been incurred during the fighting in their home villages as they do not possess the funds to appropriately repair their accommodation when they return home.

Sanitation;

100% (46) households have full access to Latrine, 72% households are using community latrines while 28% other are using the family pit latrine. But based on team observation during the assessment most of these households need for hygiene awareness campaign and some other wash supplies services.

Recommendation: DACAAR is committed to cover the wash need for this caseload ACTED is responsible to circulate the database along with assessment report to DACAAR and other partners to meet the other need of this caseload.

E) PROTECTION

Based on the heat database the team reported 3-elderly headed household, 6- female headed households & one household with disabled members. We advised to the team to re-contact these families and collect more information, if they see that they are in need of further assistance the team is responsible to refer them to other organization who are working this protection field for further assistance and caution.

Recommendation: ACTED ERM team especially the protection officer need to closely monitor the mentioned concerns and address their need for additional support.

F) HEALTH

However there is no part in HEAT form regarding health to collect the information according to that, but as the team noted during the assessment these displaced families are in very bad condition and do not have enough access to basic life services and maybe their children and adults might face to health problem. There are one clinic in district center but that is not well equipped to cover all the need of the resident. Therefore there is still need to provide some cash to meet their health requirement for procurement of required medicine and other issues.

Recommendation: ACTED to provide 4,000, AFN for full package and 2,000, AFN for half package to meet the health need for 46-household of this caseload.
