About

This 32-page report provides information about a study of unaccompanied and separated children in Haiti following Hurricane Matthew in 2016. It was part of the Measuring Separation in Emergencies (MSiE) project, to strengthen emergency response programs for unaccompanied and separated children through the development of practical, field-tested tools to enhance the assessment of the scale and nature of separation in emergencies. It is an interagency initiative funded by the USAID Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) and is coordinated by Save the Children in partnership with Columbia University.
