the situation of the IDPs, but this wasn’t the case when the team got to the command center. Issues of mis-coordination, organizational re-shuffling, and disorganization were existing at the ICS-Incident Command System143; which trickled down to camp managers at the evacuation centers (ECs). Interviews with camp managers illustrates organizational issues and systematic problems such as: lack of orientation; turn-overs; and psychological de-briefing before and after the service at the evacuation area. Also, the interviews gathered and consolidated from camp managers showed inconsistencies on the stories and narratives from the IDPs – particularly from mothers. For example, the camp managers interviewed by the general IDP cluster team states that, there were no instances of hospitalization while IDPs were living in the ECs; this statement was opposite to the a mother and daughter who suffered diarrhea and was hospitalized144. Inconsistencies such as this may have resulted to non-compliance or inadequate response to basic humanitarian standards, and core protection activities provisioned by the government. Below are the assessments gathered by General IDP and Government cluster teams during the mission using the CHR IDP Monitoring Tool 145: CORE PROTECTION ACTIVITIES Core Protection Activities Strengths Gaps & Challenges All evacuation areas have profiling system. The profiling system were handled by different agencies; some were handled by non-DSWD personnel. Profiling Initial HR monitoring were Protection conducted by RHRC-ARMM and Monitoring CHR Some ECs have help desks established by RHRC. Issues on Disaster Assistance and Family Access Card (DAFAC) registrations were not systematic, therefore some ECs were not given equal opportunity. In some ECs there were no protection cluster in placed. Help desks were not equally distributed in all of the ECs visited. Limited advocacy activities in the area. Advocacy IDPs, in various ECs, are satisfied with their camp managers. Camp Coordination and Management Capacity Building 143 144 145 There were capacity building efforts done by the local government agencies in collaborations with other International Humanitarian Agencies such as UNICEF, UNHCR, and Red Cross. Efforts such as: 3day training for the group officers and cleanliness; focus group discussions on EC policies, rules and regulations; and relaying No formal structures or channels, but some ECs set up ways to express the grievances of the IDPs to let the camp managers know their issues. The turn-over of camp-managers from MSWD or DSWD to DSWD-ARMM were unclear. Some ECs have camp leaders but no specific camp manager. In one instance, a Barangay Captain acts as the camp manager. There efforts were not unified and programmatic. Questions of sustaining and systematizing for all ECs were raised.
