To gather information as accurately as possible, on the protection risks facing the refugees, their perception as to the causes of such risks and the communities’ capacity to seek solutions.
Inter-agency camp teams were formed and they went out to hold consultations with the community and identify their key concerns. The prioritized issues were:
a) Health & Nutrition
b) Voluntary Repatriation
c) Protection
d) Food basket
e) Livelihood
f) WASH
g) Community Communication
h) Education
When the pertinent issues had been identified, the multi-functional team developed tools that would be used to facilitate dialogue with the community (see annex). This was done through focus group discussions with different groups, within the age, gender and diversity (AGD) approach.
The targeted groups included community-based committees, religious leaders, minority groups, persons with disability, the elderly, the youth, men, women, single mothers, single fathers, boys and girls.
