CLUSTER MEETING MINUTES
Presentation of Flash Appeal strategy and figures
Text on CCCM in the Flash Appeal launched today 17h45 local time.
The earthquake has driven large numbers of people from their homes and into available open spaces and safe
buildings across the affected districts, as a result of widespread destruction of homes. The number of displaced are as
of yet not accurate but could easily reach above 100,000 people as rural areas close to the epicentre that experienced
damage levels of more than 60 per cent to the infrastructure are yet to be assessed. People have gathered in sites of
various sizes across the affected area (ranging from large sites of ten to fifteen thousand, to just a few families) with
varying access to basic needs and services, especially shelter and WASH, and face new challenges including increased
vulnerability to GBV and other criminality.
Some sites currently occupied by IDPs correspond to sites previously identified through the Open Spaces project
as potential sites while others are spontaneous and would either need improvement in living conditions or support to
identify alternative locations. With the Monsoon approaching all sites require drainage improvements
to prevent flooding and loss of shelter infrastructure and minimize the risk of epidemics.
As the situation improves, facilitation of return and identification of durable solutions of those able to do so
within the 3 month timeframe must take place in order to reduce the caseload to those with more difficult

conditions requiring heavier investment. The support to the closure or consolidation of camps and identification
of alternative solutions is a component of the CCCM cluster stategy. This includes support to restore previous
use of priority locations such as schools, universities or other areas and infrastructure of public use.
Priority Actions
1: Roll out the Displacement Tracking Matrix to produce site profiles on all sites beginning with the priority
sites based on IDP numbers and location. This will also identify cross sectorial needs at camp level flagging
priority issues to actors in the capacity and resources to address them.
2: Through site management, ensure that basic living and dignity standards are met and that all gaps are
identified and addressed. Sites determined as priority will have dedicated camp management structures,
smaller sites will be covered through mobile site facilitators.
3: Provide urgent infrastructure and other interventions to improve living condition at sites that are
spontaneous in nature or overcrowded need. At the same time new sites must be created in most areas with
a damage level exceeding 60 per cent. All sites need various degrees of preparedness works for the
monsoon season coming in two to thre months to prevent loss of shelter and spread of epidemics.
Overall amount appealed is USD 5 Million. Activities and projects are to be developed over the coming week, submitted
to Cluster coordinator for approval and then uploaded into OPS. Detailed instructions will follow when obtained from
OCHA.
Cluster partners are encouraged to think about potential submissions and discuss them at the CCCM meeting.

CERF Appeal for CCCM has been submitted for 600,000 to cover Displacement tracking Matrix and Mobile Site
facilitatprs to cover priority sites as a remedial measure to face the lack of camp management at these sites.
Partner Updates
UNICEF relayed data from DDRC on Gorkha VDCs that are severely affected and require immediate intervention
(apparently up to 90% destruction):
Most affected VDCs - Gorkha
Ghurmi (need to check name as Ghurmi is actually in east Nepal) – Aaru Arbang - Arughat – Tandrang
Other affected VDCs - Gorkha
Simjung – Swnara –Saurpani – Kerunja –Kasigaon – Laprak - Gumda – Bihi – Sridibas –Gzanchowk - Manbu
Handicap international: Has got capacity to do camp management and registration. Need to know where to go and
which site to take on.
Acted: could deploy camp management , mentioned ShankhaPark in Kathmandu as possibility.
LWR interested in assessments and DTM type of work

UNOPS with structural assessment capacity also expressed interest in submitting projects for Appeal looking into site
planning and layouts.
CARE on going with WASH assessments at the 16 sites in KTM valley.
ShelterBox: looking where to support with set up with up to 1,000 tents. Looking for consignee, approached IOM, if
IOM does not confirm, looking for other consignees.
IOM: site profile on going at 16 sites in KTM, will make available site profiles tonight or for tomorrow’s CCCM meeting.
Major gaps:
 Access outside of KTM valley to the remaining 8 affected districts.
 Urban versus rural approach can vary depending on situation outside valley, DUDBC requested yesterday to
explore the possibility to set up camps in Gorkha.
 Only partial coverage of emergency shelter observed in most sites.
 Spontaneous sites not mapped yet
 Overcrowded sites with lack of access to services
 Almost no information on number of sites and IDPS outside the Kathmandu Valley.

 Drainage to decrease the damage caused by surface water (rain) will be need in most sites – Site planning
capacity required to cover and map needs at sites as fast as possible to prevent problems rather than having to
respond to new problems.
Next meeting:
Thursday 30 April from 10 to 11 am at DDUBC ground floor (after Shelter meeting)
Partners will be requested to fill in 3 W (who does what where) for CCCM
