Water, Sanitation and Hygiene KAP [Chad] (2018+)

As part of its core protection mission, the UNHCR provides Refugees, Asylum Seekers, and other persons of concerns (PoC) and adequate shelters in humanitarian emergency settings. The UNHCR and the wider humanitarian community are more in favour of settlement solutions that offer a seemingly normal life to forcible displace population, other than camps, sites, or settlements. In a well-designed camp, displaced people do not have to walk too far to get food, water, or medical care. Water points and latrines are well-lit and close to homes so that girls and women, especially, will not be exposed to danger. All these arrangements are as well done to prevent the spread of hygiene and sanitation-related diseases in camps. To monitor this important situation the UNHCR regularly organizes Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Knowledge, Aptitude, Practises (KAP) surveys that monitor the WASH indicators.
