“…Of these, twenty (16%) are literature reviews with data on displaced people. Nine (7%) of the literature reviews focus on health outcomes (Connolly et al 2004;Dick and Simmonds 1983;Paquet and Hanquet 1998;Jafari et al 2011;Kalipeni and Oppong 1998;Kamel 1997;Kimbrough et al 2012;Lam et al 2015;Shears 1991), three (3%) on cholera (Griffith et al 2006;Naidoo and Patric 2002;Rebaudet et al 2013), and two (2%) on cooking and fuel (Barbieri et al 2017;Caniato et al 2017). Six publications (5%) are policy briefs that recommend or describe policies on how to manage camps (Aligne et al 2009), camp size (Cosgrave 1996), selecting a camp site (Swenson 1983), sanitation (Baghri andReed 1998), cash-based WaSH interventions (UNHCR 2016a), and WaSH monitoring (Cronk et al 2015).…”

“…In one study, insufficient vegetation for animals and animal diseases are cited as outcomes for those who rear animals as part of their livelihoods (Gila et al, 2011). Three studies mention loss of livelihood (Ahsan et al, 2011;Barbieri et al, 2017;Caniato et al, 2017). Other outcomes include unemployment (De Buck et al, 2015), economic vulnerability and a lack of opportunity (Dolan et al, 1997), low income (Apiyo, 2014;Molla et al, 2014a;Singh et al, 2017), low market access (Apiyo, 2014), and lack of access to loans (Singh et al, 2017).…”

Adequate environmental health services are critical for human rights, health, and development, especially in the context of forced displacement. There are more than 70 million forcibly displaced persons worldwide, most in protracted situations, having been displaced for more than two years. Some live in camps or informal settlements, but most live in urban areas. Environmental health services are important in the transition from emergency response to sustainable development in these settings, but evidence on environmental health in displaced populations is disparate and of variable quality. We conducted a systematic scoping review of environmental conditions, exposures, and outcomes in protracted displacement settings; obstacles to improvement in environmental health services; and recommendations made for improvement. We included 213 publications from peer-reviewed and grey literature databases. Data were extracted on environmental health topics including water, sanitation, hygiene, overcrowding, waste management, energy supply, vector control, menstrual hygiene, air quality, and food safety. Most studies present data from low-and lower-middle income countries. Northern Africa and Western Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are the most-represented regions. There is substantial evidence on water, sanitation, and crowding, but few studies report findings on other environmental health topics. Water-related disease, parasites, and respiratory infections are frequently cited and studies report that services often fail to meet international standards for humanitarian response. The most frequent obstacles and recommendations are institutional, political, or implementation-related, but few studies provide concrete recommendations for improvement. Our review compiles and characterizes the research on environmental health in protracted displacement. We recommend including displaced populations in international environmental health policy and monitoring initiatives, and bridging from humanitarian response to sustainable development by preparing for long-term displacement from the early stages of a crisis.

“…In this regard, the Sahel usually sufferslong--term effects on the reduction of food access and availability because of the disruption of agricultural livelihoods and food production due to droughts and conflicts (Caniato et al, 2017;Chatzopolous et al, 2019;UNISDR, 2019). In this context, there is a need to understand emerging risks, as the lack of accurate information on the real effects of disaster events in the social tissue and national economies characterize decision-making processes regionally.…”
