INTRODUCTION TO PROFILING, CAR
DYNAMIC OF DISPLACEMENT
• Drop down of IDPs number and overall trend to return;
• About 138,000 persons returning since November 2014.
Many returns unrecorded yet;
• Main attractive areas for return/relocation in Bangui and
peri-urban: the 5th, 8th and Bimbo district;
• Some pockets of insecurity/ongoing displacement;
• 168 000 displaced people in 114 IDPs sites (34 in Bangui,
80 in provinces especially Ouham and Ouaka
prefectures);
• Lack of clear overview of IDPs hosted by communities in
urban areas;
• Mpoko site hosted 100 000 IDPs early 2014, less than
20,000 left.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
IDPs have been progressively returning spontaneously. The international community is facing difficulties:
• To track return;
• To target IDPs in host communities/affected population in urban areas;
• To evaluation living conditions in affected areas;
• To get disaggregated data and profile of affected populations;
• To assess impact of displacement and return on social cohesion;
There is a great need to profile communities in urban areas affected by displacement in order to inform a comprehensive strategy of durable solutions for IDPs (2010 IASC Framework on durable solution for IDPs).
OBJECTIVE OF THE PROFILING
To mobilize governmental officials, humanitarian and development actors to shape and support a common strategic vision /operational plan aiming at:
• Rebuilding urban areas affected by displacement;
• Developing exit strategy for camps in urban areas;
• Supporting durable solutions (return, local integration and relocation) of IDPs;
• Reinforcing social cohesion;
• Focusing scarce financial resources on strategic interventions;
• Fundraising and advocacy.
THEMES TO BE COVERED BY THE PROFILING
A mix method will be used for data collection. A particular focus will be put on data collection related to Do No Harm/conflict sensitivity and Push and pull factors.
• A comprehensive population profile (including age, gender, diversity) ;
• Long-term safety, security and freedom of movement;
• An adequate standard of living, including at a minimum access to adequate food, water, housing, health care and basic education;
• Access to employment and livelihoods;
• Access to effective mechanisms that restore their housing, land and property or provide them with compensation.
GEOGRAPHICAL SCOPE OF THE PROFILING
INTEREST AND SUPPORT
Lead: UNHCR (Protection and Shelter / NFI / CCCM Clusters) and UNDP (Livelihood and Community Stabilisation Cluster)
Partnership: a broad multi-stakeholder interest and buy-in is needed: • to ensure mobilization of institutional and political back up;
• to secure adequate resources;
• to ensure findings will be broadly accepted and used for planning and responses to displacement challenges.
Inclusive approach: Set up of a Profiling steering committee with key stakeholders and facilitated by a Profiling Coordinator. Members will be:
• national/local authorities (mayors and national statistic office) • universities
• humanitarian and development forums/organisations
TECHNICAL PARTNERSHIP WITH JIPS
Ongoing discussion to get support from JIPS for:
• identifying profiling objectives;
• supporting advocacy and consolidating
stakeholder engagement;
• supporting methodology and tools development;
• supporting field organisation and data collection;
• supporting data processing, analysis and reporting,
and dissemination of findings.
EXPECTED IMPACT
Strategic discussion as to return and durable solutions for IDPs are very high on the HCT agenda (Bangui Forum). It is therefore expected that main stakeholders in CAR are committed to:
• Set a suitable timing so that the results may inform interagency planning and/or national strategies ;
• Express a general buy-in especially governmental authorities and main humanitarian and development forums and agencies ;
• Facilitate the designing of a transition plan from humanitarian to development investment ;
• A commitment to evidence-informed programming.
LIMITATION OF EXISTING DATA AND FEASIBILITY OF THE PROFILING
• Limitations: lack of disaggregated data, lack of
consolidation of existing secondary data, limited scope
of individual data collection
• Feasibility: Primary data collection is feasible (Population
Tracking System, border monitoring, protection
monitoring, CCCM Infrastructure mapping in
neighborhoods), sufficient access to population in urban
areas (security)
• Financial resources: Bangui has been chosen as a pilot.
The project intend to scale up to other urban areas in-
country should financial resources is available.
RESOURCES AND BUDGET
• Clusters coordination support: Protection,
CCCM/NFI/Shelter, Livelihood and community
stabilization, ICC

FINANCIAL GAP
NEXT STEPS
Prep work:
• Collaborative decision and Desk review
• Establish the project (consultations) & the coordination platform (technical working group and institutional framework/partnership)
4 months work plan:
• Draft methodology & tools
• Awareness raising
• Train field staff and conduct pilot
• Prepare field logistics and collect data in the field
• Prepare for data processing (staff, software and logistics)
• Enter data and conduct preliminary analysis
• Draft report , validate findings & develop recommendations
• Endorse Report, prepare dissemination, conduct dissemination
COMMENT RECEIVED BY HCT
Overall, the initiative has been very well received and appreciated. HCT members has validated it and expressed an unanimous endorsment and buy-in. Comments have focused on:
• the need to consider youth as an important target
• the need to consider peri urban areas and acces to social services
• the need to expand profiling to other urban areas in-country
• the need to involve the Ministry of Plan
• the need to focus on vulnerability and not on status
• The need to transcend the urban and rural divide as affected population diversify IGA
• The need to understand the economic dimension
• CCO expressed interest in participating to the debate
