IDENTIFIED NEEDS AND GAPS

Key Protection Update Lanao del Sur

ACCESS TO FOOD AND LIVELIHOOD. The E/GCQ has resulted to disruption of business chain, thereby affecting the IDP retailers dueto lack of transportation. This affects the capacity of displaced families to meet their daily needs, including an imbalanced nutrition intakeparticularly with their children. In Pangi Bakwit TS, the 14-days lockdown has impacted the access to livelihood activities of the IDPs.

ACCESS TO WASH. Water insufficiency remains an issue that affects IDPs’ personal hygiene and sanitation. Water rationing is onschedule basis, i.e., Sagonsongan Area 6 is twice a month. The issue on septic tanks that are full particulary in Sagonsongan areas stillpersist. There are families which manually scoop the human excrements (feces) and toss them on the drainage when there is rain, whileothers connect their septic tanks to the drainage. This increases the health risks of the IDPs.

ACCESS TO BASIC FACILITIES. IDPs have difficulties accessing the basic facilities that they needed due to lack of transportation. TheMGCQ allows only one passenger for tricycle and with an increase on transportation cost (this has been an issue even before the COVID-19and it still persists).

LACK OF CAMP COORDINATOR AND MANAGER. The presence of Camp Coordinator and Camp Manager are needed to facilitate

the identification of the persisting issues faced by the IDPs and help on said issues will be responded. The top issues that are related on

CCCM are as follows:

• In Sagonsongan Area 5-B, there is an open drainage that is not safe to vulnerable sectors. There is a report that a child fell on the 8-foot drainage;

• Some houses in Division 1 & 4 in Boganga TS are at risk of landslide as their houses are erected in areas which are prone to erosion;

• Landslides have caused mud flood in Boganga TS; and

• Tensions build-up among IDPs.
