WASH Needs Assessment Report: Magistrate IDPs Camp, Kaga LGA

Date: 1/10/2024

Assessment Team: Emmanuel Abimiku, Alkali Bukar and Kingsley Chibuzor

Background:

Magistrate IDPs Camp, situated in Kaga LGA, is home to a significant population of internally
displaced persons. The camp relies on four boreholes for water supply, managed by Catholic Relief
Services (CRS), International Organization for Migration (IOM), and the Danish Refugee Council
(DRC).

Key Findings:

1. CRS-managed Boreholes:
 Out of the two boreholes managed by CRS, only one is operational.
 The functioning borehole has a significant issue, taking more than 7 hours to fill half
of a 2000-litre capacity tank.
2. IOM-managed Borehole:
 The borehole managed by IOM is the only one functioning properly, providing a
reliable water source for the camp.
3. DRC-managed Borehole:
 The borehole managed by DRC is operational but functions at a very low capacity.

Recommendations:

1. Water Supply:
 Immediate assessment and repair of the non-functional CRS-managed borehole to
restore functionality.
 Discussions between CRS and DRC regarding the possibility of handing over the
DRC-managed borehole to facilitate rehabilitation.
2. Sanitation and Hygiene:
 Rehabilitation of bathing spaces to improve hygiene conditions.
 Desludging of field latrines to ensure proper sanitation.
 Construction of an additional new latrine to meet the growing needs of the camp
population.
3. Collaboration and Coordination:
 Facilitate discussions between CRS and DRC for the potential handover of the
borehole.
 Encourage collaboration among all managing organizations (CRS, IOM, and DRC) to
address water supply challenges collectively.
4. Hygiene Promotion:
 Continue with ongoing hygiene promotion messages, ensuring effective
dissemination of information.
 Address the need for water storage containers such as jerry cans to enhance water
collection and storage practices.

Conclusion:

The WASH needs assessment highlights urgent challenges in the water supply system and sanitation
facilities at Magistrate IDPs Camp. Immediate actions are required to address the non-functional
borehole, and discussions between CRS and DRC regarding the potential handover should be
initiated promptly. Additionally, the identified needs for rehabilitation and construction should be
addressed to improve overall WASH conditions in the camp. Collaboration among managing
organizations is essential for comprehensive solutions, and efforts should be sustained in promoting
hygiene practices while addressing specific material needs, such as water storage containers, to
ensure a holistic approach to WASH in the camp. Regular monitoring and maintenance are
imperative for the sustained improvement of WASH conditions.
