MCRAM/ IVAP (IDPs Vulnerability assessment and profiling)
May 2010 To 31st August 2010

Conflict situation in FATA and Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa caused hundreds of thousands of families to take refuge in IDPs camps and host communities. Population residing inside camps was relatively easy to monitor for protection issues and their needs. While population living with host communities or rented houses in bigger towns was comparatively scattered and difficult to monitor. To assess the vulnerability of the IDPs living in various off camp locations, UNOCHA, IRC and UNHCR planned a systematic survey initially called MCRAM (Multi Cluster Rapid Assessment Mechanism) later on converted to IVAP (IDPs Vulnerability Assessment ) FRD volunteered to contribute outreach/ survey workers to the assessment. The voluntary contribution of FRD helped the humanitarian actors to understand the needs of Internally Displace persons with full detail. FRD provided contribution in assessment of IDPs residing in district Peshawar, Nowshehra and Mardan in rented houses or with host communities.
