Because of the many emergencies with which the United Nations (and many NGOs) have been involved, the administration is now relatively well defined. There are 10 defined ‘clusters’ which are coordinated as follows:

Shelter IOM (International Organisation for Migration)
Health WHO (World health Organisation)
Food & Nutrition WFP (World Food Programme)
Water/Sanitation UNICEF (UN Children’s Fund)
Camp Management UNHCR or UNICEF (UN High Commissioner for Refugees or UNICEF)
Protection UNICEF (UN Children’s Fund)
Education UNICEF (UN Children’s Fund)
IT/Communications WFP (World Food Programme)
Logistics WFP (World Food Programme)
Reconstruction UNDP (UN Development Programme – after the emergency phase)

In Bagh, UNHCR led the work to identify camp sites and UNICEF assisted by organising the provision of a suitable water supply and emergency latrines plus bathing cubicles. Even at the time of writing (early December, 2005), the likely population in these formal camps is entirely unknown. It may fluctuate depending on the severity of the weather.
