In this third through interviews with key informants from woreda level round, 3 regions, 8 zones, 28 woredas, 67 kebeles and 88 Disaster Risk Management Offices (DRMO), community 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.
