Protection Needs Assessment
Executive Summary
In late March 2014, almost five months after
Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) hit the
Visayas region of the Philippines, the
Protection Cluster undertook a Needs
Assessment in the most affected
municipalities and barangays in order to
deepen its understanding of the persons of
concern that it had assisted, and be in a
position to deliver an effective and targeted
response based on their profile and location.
Internally displaced and affected persons in
84 barangays from 34 municipalities in three
provinces of Region VIII were assessed.

Protection Needs Assessment
Executive Summary (cont’d)
This assessment was carried out with the
method of purposive sampling and the
covered areas were selected using a
vulnerability criteria.
Three data collection methods were used to
gather and triangulate data: Barangay Key
Informant Interview, Site Key Informant
Interview and Focus Group Discussion.
The results of the assessment were
categorized into several themes: Protection
Risks; Durable Solutions; Safety and Security;
Housing, Land and Property; Access to
Services, Documentation and Communication.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 3
The overall result of this assessment shows that
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) face greater
protection risks than the affected population,
defined as people who had their house destroyed
but did not leave it. This is substantiated by both
local officials and community leaders.
The majority of the displaced persons in the
assessed barangays want to return to their
habitual residence. However, because of their
dwellings being severely damaged, the lack of
financial resources to rebuild, and the location of
their houses in No Build Zone, they remain
displaced.
Protection Needs Assessment
Executive Summary (cont’d)
Concerns due to the damages occurred
to their houses, their location in geo-
hazard areas, and occurrence of crime
incidents have increased insecurity
among the displaced and affected
population.
Targeted responses to the needs of these
vulnerable groups as well as long-term
assistance, in particular the provision of
livelihood support, are among the
suggested solutions by both the affected
and the displaced population in order for
them to rebuild their lives.

Protection Needs Assessment
Introduction
Super Typhoon Haiyan (called Yolanda in the
Philippines) made landfall on 8 November
2013 in Eastern Visayas, causing extensive
damage to life, housing, livelihoods and
infrastructure across three of the Philippine’s
poorest regions. Following the disaster, a
massive international response was triggered,
for what can be considered as the biggest
sudden onset disaster since Haiti and
Pakistan in 2010.
The first months of the emergency response
being over, a comprehensive picture of the
situation started to emerge, but further
information was needed to monitor the
protection environment.
For this reason, the Protection Cluster engaged
into a Protection Needs Assessment over a few
weeks in late March and April 2014.
The assessment was conducted by the United
Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
and the following NGOs: Community Family
Services International (CFSI), Help Age
International, International Emergency and
Development Aid (IEDA).
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 5
Protection Needs Assessment
Purpose
The objectives were the following:
- Get an overview of the protection
environment of the concerned
population, both the displaced and the
affected, in order to be able to deliver an
effective and targeted response based on
their profile and location;
- Assist the Protection Cluster in prioritizing
the affected areas needing further
protection monitoring and in-depth
assessment;
- Assist the cluster in monitoring the
Strategic Response Plan (SRP) and
provide an evidence for resource
allocation.

Protection Needs Assessment
Scope
Geographical Scope
• The assessment covered 84 barangays in
34 municipalities in Region 8 (see
complete list of assessed areas in the
annex). This accounts for 54% of the total
63 affected municipalities in Region 8.
The selected 34 municipalities were part
of the 171 municipalities prioritized by
the government and further identified
through protection-related vulnerability
indicators (see following slides explaining
the methodology).
Assessed Groups
• The assessment covered both the IDPs
(in transitional sites, spontaneous
settlements and home-based), and the
affected population (who had their house
destroyed but did not leave it).

Protection Needs Assessment
Methodology
Sampling Method
• The assessment team used a purposive
sampling method because the Protection
Cluster already had a good knowledge of
the target population through regular
protection monitoring. Also, the survey
team didn’t want to limit the results to just
knowing the protection risks, durable
solutions or needs of the affected
population, they wanted to know what the
risks were for each of the affected group
(as a durable solution for an IDP in a
transitional site may be quite different
than for an IDP in a host family
environment for example).
•The unit of measurement was barangay.
Area Selection Process
• Region 8 was prioritized because it is considered
the most severely-hit region.
• The 34 municipalities were selected based on the
following criteria:
– % of total IDPs with regards to affected
population
– Conflict-affected areas
– Presence of indigenous people
– Part of the 171 government priority
municipalities
– Within the area of responsibility of Protection
Cluster members who had committed to do
the assessment.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 9
Protection Needs Assessment
Methodology
Area Selection Process (cont’d)
• The 84 assessed barangays were
selected based on the following criteria:
– Remote and hard-to-reach
coastal and upland barangay;
– Conflict-affected barangay;
– Without protection monitoring or
assistance conducted yet;
– Presence of indigenous people;
– Important number of IDPs;
– Important number of totally
damaged houses or
infrastructure;
– Presence of bunkhouses.
Data Collection Methods
• The assessment used three different methods to
better understand the needs of target groups and
triangulate the data:
– Barangay Key Informant Interview
• Interview conducted with the barangay
local officials to know the overall
situation of IDPs and affected
population.
– Site Key Informant Interview
• Interview conducted with the IDPs or
affected persons themselves to know
their specific protection environment
situation.
– Focus Group Discussion
• Discussion conducted with a group of
IDPs or affected persons to have a
deeper analysis of their protection
situation.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 10
Protection Needs Assessment
Methodology
Participant Selection Process
• The key informants for the Barangay Key
Informant Interview were the local leaders
of this barangay. A total of 77 key
informants were interviewed.
• For the Site Key Informant Interview, the
informants were selected on the basis of
recommendations from barangay officials
and their strong involvement in community
activities. A total of 64 key informants were
interviewed.
• For the Focus Group Discussion, the
selection of participants was also done in
consultation with IDP leaders and local
officials. They were composed of male and
female community members coming from
different households who responded to the
local officials’ invitation to discuss. A total
of 1,525 participants joined the FGD.

Protection Needs Assessment
Limitations of the Assessment
Sampling Method
• The assessment used a purposive
sampling so it is not a representative
picture of the whole affected and
displaced population. The percentages
represent only the people assessed and
not the whole Yolanda-affected areas in
Region VIII.
Geographic Coverage
• The assessment covered only Region VIII
due to limited number of enumerators to
gather information and the limited
presence of cluster members in Regions VI
and VII.
• The assessment was also limited to
municipalities that were part of the 171
selected by the government as priority,
which does not necessarily mean that
those municipalities outside this group are
no longer at risk/affected.
Data Aggregation
•The aggregation of data was made at the barangay
level (instead of the site level as originally planned)
due to the limited coverage by the enumerators.
•The processing of the data was done per form
(instead of the combination of the three tools) as
each form had different degree of coverage/reach.
However, the unit of measurement for all three
tools remained at the barangay level to ensure
equal footing when it came to data analysis.
Comparative analysis of these forms then took
place to get an overview of the overall situation.
Participants Selection
•Due tot the random selection of participants to the
Focus Group Discussion, there were no means to
verify whether these participants were
representative of the target groups.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 12
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Protection Risk
The assessed displaced and affected
population differed in their response
regarding the presence of serious
protection problems:
65% of the affected people said there
were no serious protection problems in
their area.
67% the assessed displaced population
said that there were serious protection
problems in their area.
This result shows that the displaced
population remain the most vulnerable
of the two assessed groups.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 13
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Protection Risk
Both displaced and affected population
in assessed barangays share the same
major protection problem which is the
lack of access to income generating
activities (55%). Other protection issues
reported by both assessed groups
include the lack of access to
information, humanitarian assistance,
documentation and issues on housing,
land and property.
Enforced disappearance, arbitrary
arrest and detention, and child labor
and physical and sexual violence were
not often reported by the respondents.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 14
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Protection Risk
Respondents representing the IDPs
seemed to have a divergence of
opinions regarding the trend of
protection problems: 33% thought it
was stable, 19% expressed it was
getting worse and 38% could not
answer.
Barangay officials were more positive
in their assessment, the majority of
them saying that the trend of reported
protection problems was stable and
almost a third noticing it was getting
better.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 15
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Protection Risk
IDPs in host families and
spontaneous settlements are the
groups who face the biggest
protection risks according to
barangay local officials.
This might infer that humanitarian
assistance was allocated in
priority to the IDPs in evacuation
centers and transitional sites (i.e.
bunkhouses), while IDPs in host
families received less support.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 16
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Protection Risk
The majority of both displaced and
affected persons know where to seek
assistance in case of physical violence,
cases of unaccompanied and
separated children, and loss of
documentation.

Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Durable Solutions
A large majority (86%) of the
displaced persons in the assessed
barangays wanted to return to their
habitual residences.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 18
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Durable Solutions
However, because their houses are
severely damaged and located in No
Build Zones and they lack the
financial resources to rebuild their
dwellings, they remain displaced.
This result highlights the need to
focus on activities that would allow
these IDPs to earn an income and
start rebuild their lives.

Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Durable Solutions
Both the displaced and affected
population in the assessed barangays
confirmed that consultation on matters
affecting them is indeed taking place:
44% of affected populations felt they had
been consulted and the percentage is
even higher for the IDPs (67%).
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 20
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Durable Solutions
A third of the assessed IDPs in the
municipalities of Hernani, Ormoc, Basey and
Dulag said they were informed on relocation
plans, that means that the other two-thirds
were not informed or don’t know.
This finding can be attributed to the fact the
most of the assessed IDPs live in remote
location and that information on or
dissemination of the government relocation
plans remain limited.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 21
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Safety & Security
Half of the assessed barangays (56%)
felt safe and said that there were no
more serious security issues.
The rest expressed several reasons for
insecurity:
• physical condition of their dwelling
(25%);
• location of their house in geo-hazard
areas [storm surge (18%), flooding (7%),
No-Build Zone (6%)],
• absence of electricity (15%)
With the upcoming rainy season, these
IDPs in geo-hazard areas in the
municipalities of Dulag, Gen. Mac
arthur, Hernani, Capoocan, Marabut
and Sta. Rita remain vulnerable to
further displacement.

Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: HLP
Local leaders cited three major
housing, land and property (HLP)
issues: destruction of crops,
destruction of housing property
and lack of documentation (i.e.
land titles). The latter is
considered a serious HLP concern
as it aggravates existing issues
like land disputes, forced eviction,
and secondary occupation which
were also identified by the
assessed groups.

Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Vulnerable Groups
Women (24%) and elderly (23%) are
identified as the most vulnerable groups
within both the displaced and affected
population.
The affected population specifically identified
pregnant and lactating women as one of the
most vulnerable groups.
The assessed displaced and affected
population gave the following reasons for this
particular vulnerability of women and elderly:
- Their condition makes it difficult for
them to access services;
- There is no targeted assistance for these
groups;
- They have experienced and still suffer
from trauma (please see graphs in the
next slide).

Proposed solutions to
address the vulnerability of
women and elderly would
be a targeted response as
well as the provision of

provision of awareness on
protection and gender-
based violence.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 26
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Child Protection
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 27
If a third of the assessed affected
population said that there were no
issues pertaining to child protection,
two third of the respondents reported
the following issues: no available
protection services to affected
children, affected children not able to
go back to school because of financial
constraints, presence of malnutrition
cases, and children who were
traumatized because of the disaster.
Most of the last two issues mentioned
happened in the municipalities of
Basey, Burauen, Marabut, and Sta
Rita in Samar province.
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Child Protection
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 28
For more than a quarter (29%) of the
assessed displaced population, child
labor is a major concern. Child labor
issue is common mostly in the
municipalities of Bato, Isabel, Ormoc,
San Isidro, Tabon-Tabon and Tunga in
Leyte province.
Other issues are financial constraints
preventing children from going to
school, trauma, exposure to GBV and
health issues.
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Women Protection
While a third (35%) of the assessed affected
population said that there were no women
protection issues, 22% said that there were no
protection services for women and 11%
mentioned the absence of available
alternative livelihood as a protection issue.
GBV cases were specifically reported in Sta
Rita municipality of Samar province.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 29
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Women Protection
For 36% of the assessed displaced
population, the main protection issue for the
women is the lack of alternative livelihood,
which is a way for the women to complement
the income of their husbands.
Among the other issues raised was also the
exposure to GBV due to the lack of partition in
evacuation centers, spontaneous settlements
and transitional sites.
6/2/2014 Super Typhoon Haiyan Response 30
Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Access to Services
Affected and displaced people go
to barangay captains and local
police officers (locally known as
tanod) for help. Local police or
barangay tanods remain
associated with the maintenance
of peace and order and are the
first ones to be called upon during
crises.

Protection Needs Assessment
Key Findings: Access to Services
Five months after the disaster, food, non-
food items, medical and shelter remain
the most commonly provided form of
assistance to both displaced and affected
population in the assessed barangays.
Only a few of them (13%) reported
assistance on livelihood.
The majority of both displaced and
affected population in assessed
barangays don’t know about referral
mechanisms and have limited
understanding/knowledge of the
protection referral system available in
their areas. Only 14% of the respondents
said that they refer issues to the Women
and Children Protection Desk (WCPD).

Key Findings: Access to Services
The majority of the assessed affected
population had no response when
asked about the type of awareness
raising they received. On the contrary,
assessed displaced population said
that they learned about Anti-
Trafficking, Child Protection and
Gender-Based Violence.
Based on this result, it can be inferred
that the awareness raising activities
have only reached the displaced
population.
When asked about psychosocial
support, the majority of the IDPs and
affected population had no response.

Key Findings: Access to Services
38% of both the displaced and
affected population said that
everybody had already received their
Family Access Card (FAC). The rest
said that the distribution was still
incomplete if not pending.
The FAC in the Philippine context plays
a crucial role in identifying the
population in need of humanitarian
assistance. Failure to receive this
document implies difficulty in
accessing humanitarian services. And
indeed 52% of the respondents think
they have not received enough
assistance.

Discussions, while the majority
(58%) of the assessed barangays
said that they had access to
assistance, many had still
concerns on limited access to
services due to distance, limited
supply, and unequal distribution.
This finding confirmed that delivery
of assistance to remote barangays
remains minimal. Out of the 95
covered barangays for this
assessment, 37 are in remote

Key Findings: Access to Services
The most urgent need for the majority of
both displaced and affected population is
livelihood (80%), followed by shelter
(56%).
This shows that both target groups are
already looking at long term support
rather than short-term assistance in order
to rebuild their lives.

Protection Needs Assessment
Recommendations
• Strengthen protection monitoring, notably
in locations where assistance remain
limited, e.g. IDPs in host families and
spontaneous sites such as those in the
municipalities of Basey, Capoocan, Dulag,
Giporlos, Hernani, San Isidro, and Sta
Rita;
• Sensitize communities on protection
concepts and principles such as the UN
Guiding Principles on Internal
Displacement;
• Encourage projects, notably in livelihood,
that will assist the displaced population
in achieving durable solutions, making
their voluntary return or relocation
sustainable.
• Advocate for an active involvement of the
displaced population through community
meetings to determine the durable
solutions they want to pursue and
ensure that interventions respond to their
needs.
• Assist the government at national and local
level in strengthening their housing, land and
property policies and guidelines, to ensure
that concerned IDPs are better protected;
• Advocate for more targeted responses
especially to the identified vulnerable groups
(women and elderly) and ensure fair access
to services especially for those in remote
areas and/or where indigenous people are
located;
• Improve access to documentation - not just
the restoration of lost birth certificates but
the distribution of Family Access Cards;
• Strengthen information channels on the
permanent solutions and types of assistance
available, relocation plans and weather
forecast.
