In this seventh through interviews with key informants from woreda level round, 3 regions, 13 zones, 68 woredas, 174 kebeles and Disaster Risk Management Offices (DRMO), community 377 sites were covered. representatives, education and health offices. This baseline data includes the estimated number of internally displaced The number of participants in focus group discussions for persons by kebele, a list of kebeles hosting IDPs, reason for the Emergency Site Assessment are based on the size of the displacement and shelter types. This baseline data is used to displaced population at the site: guide the geotargeting of the Emergency Site Assessment. 4 IDPs for sites with 50-100 IDP households Emergency Site Assessment (ESA): This assessment captures 5 IDPs for sites with 101-150 IDP households detailed information through focus group discussions and 6 IDPs for sites with 151-200 IDP households direct observation. Data collected covers the number of IDPs, 7 IDPs for sites with 201 IDP households or more site details, availability of infrasturcture and services, shelter types, and access to food, water, healthcare, education and Depending on the size of the focus group discussion, more livelihoods. The ESA is conducted in any location in Tigray, IDP leaders, females, youths and elderly persons must and in the neighbouring zones of Amhara and Afar with be part of the discussion. However, the aim is to have reported displacements of 20 IDP households or more who 50% female participation in every focus group discussion were displaced due to the Northern Ethiopia Crisis, provided whenever it is possible. that access and security allow.
