Key findings of the GNA pilot survey, 2008

  • 30 percent of needs are not being met
  • A third of unmet needs are for basic needs and essential services

Measures are needed to improve:

  • Food security and nutrition
  • Health
  • Access to clean water - construction or rehabilitation of wells
  • Sanitation - construction or rehabilitation of latrines
  • Distribution of non-food items
  • Access to education - subsidies to students, school supplies, extra schools or classrooms, more teachers

To ensure better protection we will need:

  • Training and technical support to governments
  • Improved and ensured access to asylum procedures
  • Enhanced reception facilities and procedures
  • Documentation
  • Border monitoring
  • Strengthened community security measures
  • To support justice mechanisms

To improve prevention and response to sexual abuse and violence we will need to:

  • Provide firewood or fuel alternative
  • Strengthen child protection programmes
  • Enhance reporting and follow-up
  • Establish safe houses
  • Expand opportunities for women's self-reliance
