Responsibilities (2):Statistics and Data Management
• Field support and capacity building
• Set and disseminate standards and best practices
• Develop common language and methodologies
• Create a network of people and data
• Compile, analyze, triangulate and disseminate/publish data
• Answering internal and external data requests
• Provide data analysis and interpretation advises
• Develop and improve of data collection instruments and other tools
Example Urban refugee database in SO Bukavu
• BEFORE- 4 different Excel spreadsheets; and- 1 Word document to monitor urban caseload (~300 persons)
- Much of the information duplicated in all documents - Same information has to be updated in all documents- Cumbersome to retrieve specific type of information

Inter-Agency Networks
The case of Lugufu I and II, Tanzania
• Use Satellite imagery, GPS points, and information from our partners to map Lugufu
• Develop a set of best practices for using satellite imagery
• Link existing ProGres/registration data to GIS• Develop a capacity and system for continually
updating the maps and databases
Lugufu I and II
• Population 60 000 in Lugufu I;35 000 in Lugufu II.
• Refugees of Congolese nationality (DRC).
• Implementing partners- Tanzanian Red Cross- World Vision- Care International
Facts - Camp structure
The structure in Lugufu I is• Village (32) – admin 1• Block (768) – admin 2• Plot (approximately 18 250) – admin
3
The structure in Lugufu II is• Zone (7) – admin 1• Cluster (60) – admin 1*• Block (approximately 360) – admin 2• Plot (approximately 6 500) – admin 3
In total approximately 25 000 plots!
Available data
4. Sectoral Data:
• Water– Tanzanian Red Cross hand-
drawn water map.– GPS measurements of many
water points, not in standard system WGS 84.
• Education– Data about schools in Excel.
Education, Health, Security, Environment, etc.
– Traveled in camp with the Implementing partner for each sector to identify each facility in their sector as well as collect attribute information.
– Facilities were digitized using the satellite image or with GPS points collected in the field.

Broadening camp management to local environment: case of Sierrra Leone
• Local impacts of camp activities?
• Where are located the projects?
• What is the accuracy of the information?
• What is the level of achievement of projects?
• Who are the beneficiaries?
• Which area is the covered by the projects?
• Need for others actions?
