Executive Summary The Ethiopia Somali National Regional State is hosting the largest IDP population in the country. The major causes of displacement are drought, conflict and flash floods. Most of the IDPs displaced in Somali region are internally displaced within the region, while 33 % are displaced from Oromia region and the remaining 1% are displaced from Afar region. According to round VII DTM report data from IOM, there are 683,221 IDPs in the region, while the population number being probably higher since DTM didn’t manage to cover all the sites in Somali region due to the security situation. From the total number around 281,472 (41 %) of the IDPS are displaced in Fafan and Liben Zones, where DRC is operational. In response to this huge crisis DRC has designed an intervention to enhance the safety, protection and access to appropriate essential services for the most vulnerable IDPs residing in Liben and Fafan zone. The purpose of this assessment is to identify operational sites in Fafan Zone, GursumWoreda and to determine the scale of the needs and protection risk for IDPs as well as to assess the potential/actual capacities to respond to the existing risks and needs within the communities and stakeholders. The assessment team (MPT, DPPB, BOWCA & WOWCA) has utilized key informant interviews, observation, structured interviews with women/girls, and structured interviews with IDP communities in order to get the required information from selected three sites(Gursum town, Dhagahle and Kubijare) of Gursum Woreda. The findings of the assessment revealed a snapshot of urgent protection issues and needs of the IDPs and also helped to create an evidence base to complement with information from other stakeholders (government, humanitarian organizations, etc.). They also point to where the main gaps are, and pave the way for sustainable responses. III. Introduction DRC’s Mobile protection team in Jijiga has undertaken site assessment of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Gursum woreda from November 29-1 December 2017, under the project, “Improving safety and access to services for IDPs in Somali region’’. The aim of this assessment report is to present the current protection concerns for IDP’s in Gursum Woreda and in particular the factors that increase their vulnerability as identified by the population themselves. IV. Objective of the assessment The main objective of this assessment is to determine the scale of the needs and protection risks for IDPs and to determine the potential/actual capacities to respond within the communities and stakeholders. The specific objectives are: 4 To enable DRC and partners to have a better understanding of the protection risks for IDPs, To identify appropriate responses to protection issues and concerns identified To provide recommendations for strengthening protection services for IDP’s. V. Assessment Methodology Primary data collection tools have been employed for the assessment. These include KII, semi structured interviews with women and girls, semi-structured interviews with displaced persons and site observation.

Findings in Gursum town Concerns among Children According to the KII, there are 20 separated children that are cared for by extended families and their clan but support is needed in terms of reunification with their family. These children are at high risk and they are not satisfied living with their extended family because they didn’t receive care and support like other children who are living with their biological parents and they always seems themselves as daily workers as the site chairman mention. Children from 13-15 years are exposed to environmental risks, mostly while searching for work. Children are travelling long distances more than 62 KM into Jijiga town to search for work. No recreational activities or psychosocial support are organized by communities for distressed children. Children show psychological distress and change in behavior due to inability to attend school.

Concerns among the general IDP Population Access to Water and Sanitation The interview participants have stated they have access to portable water. The water point is accessible and near to them but there is a lack water storage materials.

Even though overcrowded there are latrines in the site Access to Health Care The interview participants stated there is no problem of accessing the health services. The health center is usually overcrowded by patients but the IDPs are getting treatment equally to the rest of the kebele community.
