Indeed, some households may be in Phase 2 or even Phase 1 only because of the assistance received and may therefore require ongoing action. This IPC analysis used the most recent information provided by OCHA-ICASEES (2020 projections based on the 2003 census) as the reference population for the areas studied. Since the figures for internally displaced persons take into account any displacement, including within the same prefecture or sub-prefecture, as well as within the same city (between neighbourhoods and sites), decision-makers should interpret the figures in a dynamic way.
