In December, community perception surveys saw a positive increase on certain issues, such as winter preparedness, and stagnation on other issues. Over all perceptions on the progress of the earthquake response did see a positive change from the previous round. Increased winterization support will have influenced perceptions on response efforts. This round marked an increase on positive perceptions for winter preparedness. This is likely a result of increased winterization support in December, particularly from the government cash distribution. As a result of these efforts, there was also an increase in positive perceptions of the government in earthquake response efforts. With increase in winter -based distributions, there was a slight decrease in positive perceptions related to the fairness of aid distribution. Feedback collected from 12 agencies in the field also highlight the issue of beneficiary selection and aid distribution, reconstruction, WASH and winter preparedness as a challenge. Issues, such as quality, access, eligibility and insufficient aid continue to be raised by communities. Feedback also highlight needs related to winter, such as provision of warm blankets and clothes or access to local health posts and WASH facilities such as clean water and latrines. Safe schools and adequate materials for children have also been raised as key issues communities would like to address. In December, the Common Feedback Project began an initiative to communicate back to communities through the organization of community meetings in all 14 districts. These meetings focus on ensuring feedback collected is shared with those communities. These meetings bring together community members, local government stakeholders and humanitarian partners to discuss and clarify issues and address any related concerns.
