Kenya — Baseline Assessment - Garissa County — Round 1

DTM’s mobility tracking baseline area assessment was conducted in coordination with Garissa County Government, County Commissioner’s office, and NDMA from 5 to 19 September 2022 in Garissa. The assessment was conducted at two levels – ward level and settlement level, using key informant interviews. DTM assessed all 30 wards and 356 settlements in Garissa. Out of the 356 settlements, IOM enumerators could physically access 350 locations and carried out face-to-face interviews with key informants. For the six settlements that were not accessible data collection was conducted by interviewing key informants over the phone. The assessment excluded refugee camps such as Dadaab to avoid double counting of affected mobile population. Information was collected on the following population categories: • Absentees: Residents of the settlement who have left the settlement because of drought (death of animals, lack of food, lack of water, search for services), resource-based conflict, flash floods or seasonal floods, or fires. • Arrivals: Persons who have left their settlement of habitual residence and arrived to the location assessed because of drought (death of animals, lack of food, lack of water, search for services), resource-based conflict, flash floods or seasonal floods, or fires. • Pastoralist drop-outs: Agro-pastoralist who have lost their livestock or whose land has become unproductive and have therefore become destitute. • Returnees: People that had left the settlement due to drought, but came back within the last two years. • Foreign nationals: Non-Kenyan nationals that have arrived in the settlement of assessment because of drought (death of animals, lack of food, lack of water, search for services), resourcebased conflict, flash floods or seasonal floods, or fires This includes migrants who cannot return, continue their journey or who are destitute in the location of assessment.
