Eventual comments. The accounted population for the Action is based on the National Census conducted in 2011, which is the official (federal) data and most reliable data available, and the next census will be conducted only in 2021. After federalization, the then Village Development Committees (VDC) have been merged to form the new urban municipalities or the VDCs have been merged into the existing urban municipalities. Hence the population of these VDCs, annexed with the Action municipalities, have been added to derive total population. As the xxxx xxxx disaggregated data on age is not available, the ratio of the age group against the total population has been extrapolated to derive xxxx xxxx data for the Action wards. The age group disaggregated data in Census is from 5 - 14 and 15 - 49 years. Since the disaggregated data for 5 - 17 years, required in the proposal, is not available, the population under this category has been taken from age group 5 - 14 years in Census. The data on internally displaced, returnees, in camp, refugees and others are not available at the proposal stage and could be updated on inception when Action staff are placed in the field.
Eventual comments. The number of unique beneficiaries by profile (internally displaced, refugees etc.) for the beneficiary communities is not available at the time of the proposal preparation. This information will be collected and reported during the action at the interim and/or final stages. However, it can be noted that The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, UNHCR, estimates that the worsening socio-economic, political, human rights and humanitarian conditions in Venezuela have led to the outflow of Venezuelan refugees and migrants to Trinidad and Tobago (T&T). Trinidad and Tobago's “population of concern” comprises more than 10,000 people — among them, 800 refugees and 9,985 asylum-seekers, most of whom are from Venezuela.
