Ethiopia — Shelter and NFI Snapshot Report (August – September 2023)

Between August and September 2023, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Data and Research Unit (DRU), through its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) methodology, deployed the Site Assessment(SA) and Village Assessment Survey (VAS) tools to assess the mobility, needs and vulnerabilities of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and returning IDPs across Ethiopia. 

This snapshot report will present key findings on needs and vulnerabilities, and will focus on Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFIs) in the locations assessed through the SA and VAS survey tools.

According to data collected, living conditions of IDPs in the assessed sites continue to be inadequate and unsafe. In 42.10% of assessed sites, no HHs were living in individual HH shelters. Furthermore, in 60.77% of sites there was no lighting in communal spaces and in 36.08% there was lighting but it was not adequate.
