Detailed Site Assessment (DSA), 2021

Primary data collection employed a key informant (KI) methodology with KI interviews conducted by REACH and CCCM Partners enumerators in locations directly accessible by REACH Field Officers (FOs) and by CCCM partner organizations. The geographical scope of DSA V will be built up around the October 2021 IDP master list which lists a total of 3,589 IDP sites across all regions of Somalia. Following identification of target urban areas, REACH located IDP settlement using very high spatial resolution (VHSR) satellite imagery as available on Google Earth prior to the start of the data collection. After identifying target areas and verifying the existence of IDP settlements, REACH contacted the lowest level of governance (district’s office, mayor’s office, etc.) to triangulate information about settlement location.
