1. EHAP Liberia in 2011: retrospective & observations By OCHA / HCSO

3. Key EHAP parameters 50,000 refugees 25,000 Returnees/TCNs Timeline: Jan-June 2011 Amount required: USD 55 mil Strategic priorities Assist refugees & Returnees/TCNs in Nimba County Relocate refugees away from the border Rationale 25,000 refugees (mid Jan) & 600 new arrivals / day Living with host populations in more than 20 villages

4. Rationale 400% increase refugee population: from 25 to 131,000 Refugee location: from 1 to more than 3 counties / from 23 to more than 70 villages Pressure on host communities (90% living with HC) & rainy season (April) Relocation from HC to camps/relocation villages/transit sites (only 30% to remain in HC in fine) Limited life saving interventions to be provided along the border Strategic priorities Key EHAP parameters 150,000 refugees; 25,000 returnees/TCNs January to July 2011 Amount required: USD 146 mill.

5.
