 The main cause of displacement of this caseload is continues conflict between government and AOGs during the recent start of fighting season across the southern region provinces.  Displacement Pattern in southern regions is mostly individual or in smaller groups rather than mass displacement, the reason why IDPs choose to come to Kandahar city is that continues insecurity and fighting in the villages most of the IDPs due to continue conflicts have last their agriculture which is the main source of their income.

Urgent assistance and response is therefore recommended.  Cash for shelter is recommended as most IDPs are either living with host facilities or are accommodated in shared arrangement, with an average of 1500 AFN rent.  All of the selected households have access to water for bathing, drinking and cooking.  The aftermath of the assessment shows that all 80 IDP families need urgent humanitarian aid of food, NFI and cash to be protected.  the selected 80 households are consisting of 1 family per households and the averages household size is 6.95

3. Sectorial Issues:

A) Food Security, Nutrition and Livelihood:  HEAT survey indicates that all 80 Families had income in their place of origin and their main source was farming livestock and employments. Income of the selected families have dropped more than 50%. Average monthly income before crises was 5468 AFN per family and after crisis 2506AFN/Family.  Household database indicate that 38 families don’t have food stock, while, 42 family reported having food stock less than a week. Debt level is high among selected IDPs, 39 families are in debt of more than 8000 AFN, 21 families are between 2000-8000 AFN, 02 families with debt less than 2000 and 18 family are with no debt.  Most of selected families reported eating three times a day. However, significant number practice negative coping strategy such as consumption of less food and barrowing food and begging to cope with food insecurity situation.

 All families have access to Market and the distance is 1-2 KM and an average time is 11 minutes from their homes to market and all type of food and non-food Items available. B) NFI: The IDP families could not manage to bring of their HH items during their displacement and have left more than 80% of their household items and equipment’s in their place of origin, direct observation indicated that family members have to use their HH items in share with each other, this issue would-be health frightening for families, particularly sharing of cooking and hygiene items between old members and kids. They have need for full package of non food items like clothing, bedding, cooking and hygiene.

 Shelter: The household database indicates that currently some of families rented houses in Kandahar city and relevant areas, and some families are living as host.

Wash-Hygiene

During the joint assessment , it was indicated that all the families are living in poor hygiene situation and their hygiene is not practiced properly, so there is need for hygiene kit and hygiene message delivery. And these will be provided by DACAAR.

WASH-Sanitation:

Based on the same joint assessment carried by oragnizations mentioned above 69 families out of 80 families have access to family built bath and latrien facilities, while the remaing 11 families don’t have access to proper and healthy sanitaion facilities, to address this sanitation issue and different disease in the future, DACAAR ERM team recomends building sets of EBL for families using open area for defication. Following is the rational for the proposed number of constructed emergency individual latrine and bathrooms, by considering geographical proximity. Condition Proposed Number 5 IDP famlies live in different areas of city 5 sets of emergency latrines and baths 6 IDP families live in one compound 2 sets of emergency latrines and baths Recommendations: DACAAR ERM team recommends constructing of 7 sets of emergancy latrine and bath for 11 IDP families who are still doing open defication. Hygiene kits and hygiene promotion lesson to all the families.
