Field Companion for CCCM: MSLA Sectoral Questions and Data Analysis Plan

Global CCCM Cluster and DTM identified common Information needs that the CCCM clusters in countries may have and developed suggested questions and options for reply for each information need, that are appropriate to the DTM MSLA methodology.  These are accompanied by descriptive analysis, and possible use of data and available in the DTM Field Companion for CCCM, in:  https://displacement.iom.int/dtm-partners-toolkit/field-companion-sectoral-questions-location-assessment

 

Settlement Types

In addition to the DTM Field Companion, DTM and Global CCCM clusters worked together to suggest solutions to a common challenge: Using different definitions of settlement types has been proven to be source of confusion and inability to use data for sectoral and intersectoral analysis. It is extremely important that used definitions are clearly explained (and documented) and shared between DTM and main actors (e.g., Shelter and NFI cluster/WG, CCCM Cluster /WG, other clusters, OCHA or other coordination actor)

CCCM cluster /WG in country are responsible to provide DTM with the agreed definitions of Settlement typologies that DTM will use in data collection.

In the absence of agreed definition, DTM can use the Global Definitions, as provided to DTM by Global CCCM Cluster:

 Description of Global Settlement Types – Global Shelter and CCCM Clusters (from SPHERE 2018)

Non Displaced Population

Displaced population
 

Dispersed

Grouped

Owner occupied accommodation

Renting arrangement

(Displaced population settles in rented/leased structure or land. This is either self-funded individually/communally or subsidised by the government/humanitarian community. Covers situations where displaced population are residing in separate renting arrangements.)

Collective Accommodation (Designated pre-existing facility or structure where infrastructure and basic services are provided.)

Rented Accommodation or Land

Hosting arrangement

(Displaced population is sheltered in host communities. Persons of concern may settle with and amongst local households, on land or in properties that local people own or occupy.  No rent is paid by those being hosted, but in-kind contributions may be made. Covers situations where displaced population are hosted in separate hosting arrangements.)

Planned Settlement

(A purpose built site where infrastructure and basic
services are provided. In camps that remain for a longer period of time
tents can for instance have been replaced by stronger shelters.)

Informally occupied accommodation or land

Self-settlement

(Displaced population spontaneously settles as families or individuals in a location without prior arrangement with the relevant actors (such as owner, local government, agencies and/or the host community). Basic services are usually not provided.)

Unplanned Settlement

(Displaced population spontaneously settles collectively in a location without prior arrangement with the relevant actors (such as owner, local government, agencies and/or the host community). Basic services are usually not provided at the site. Minimum size of a settlement (No. of HH/individuals) is to be defined by the context.)

In case country-specific definitions are developed and used, it is important to document the correspondence between those and Global definitions, so to avoid inaccurate analysis of data at regional or global level.

 

Correspondence between Country and Global Settlement Types:

This table helps WGs, Clusters and DTM in country identify what specific settlement types are used in country by Clusters and WGs, and how they link to Global Settlement types, standardised by Shelter and CCCM Global Clusters.  Relevant boxes should be filled jointly by Shelter and CCCM Clusters/ WGs and DTM.
