Hi Laura,



Thank you for responding and providing feedback.

Just to add onto what my colleague Lukasz has mentioned above:



*Data quality and accuracy- *For each facility type there’s a field for
whether they are functioning or not as of the dates provided. We cannot
know for sure the status as of now, but this being a one off import, we
hope that in the future someone will be able to update any infrastructure
changes.



*Closed camps- *For closed camps- Ifo 2, and Kambioos- the data provided
here was updated just before UNHCR handed over the camps' land and existing
infrastructure to the County government of Garissa for planning.



*Corrections and updates- *Currently REACH has no funding allocated for
infrastructure and service mapping exercise in Dadaab refugee camps, so
until then is when we will be able to update.



Let me  know whether you need further clarifications?



Best regards,

Naomi
