Understanding Target Group Classification
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, we’ll be looking into how we classify target groups among the internally displaced persons in Kenya due to political violence. Can anyone explain why it's essential to classify these people?
It's important because different groups may have different needs for shelter and support.
Exactly! So, what are the three broad categories we identify?
Those who want to return home, those who want to relocate, and those who want to integrate where they currently are.
Perfect! Remember this acronym: RRI, which stands for Return, Relocate, Integrate — it helps to recall these categories!
The Importance of Land Tenure
Unlock Audio Lesson
Let’s dive deeper into land tenure. How does a person's land status affect their shelter options after being displaced?
Those with land can go back and build, while those without land might need to rent or buy a place.
Right! Can someone summarize how we subdivide the groups based on land tenure?
We have those with land, those without land, and those looking to rent or buy.
Good job! So, remember the mnemonic 'LEARN' — Land ownership Equals Access to Resources and Needs — for understanding the importance of land in this context.
Addressing the Needs of IDPs
Unlock Audio Lesson
Why do we need tailored responses for the different target groups?
Because each group has different goals and constraints based on their situation!
Exactly! Tailoring responses is crucial. Can anyone give an example of different approaches?
Those returning home might need help rebuilding their houses, while those wanting to relocate might require land and financial assistance.
Great examples! To remember these diverse needs, think of the phrase: 'Different paths mean different support'.

Quick Overview
Standard
The section outlines the classification of target groups based on their shelter needs following political violence in Kenya, emphasizing the three primary categories of displaced persons and their varying land tenure statuses.
Detailed
In the context of Kenya's political violence, internally displaced persons (IDPs) have been classified into three target groups: those wishing to return to their original residence, those wanting to relocate elsewhere within the country, and those seeking to integrate into their current place of displacement. Furthermore, each group is further categorized based on land tenure, distinguishing between those with land, those without land, and those intending to rent or purchase land. This classification highlights the diversity of needs within the displaced populations and ensures that responses to shelter provision can be tailored effectively.

Three Main Target Groups

They have broadly classified into 3 target groups, one is those who wish to return to their formal place of residence, those who wish to relocate elsewhere in the country, those who wish to integrate in their current place of displacement.
Detailed Explanation
In the aftermath of displacement caused by conflict or natural disaster, the affected populations often have different preferences and needs regarding where they want to live. These preferences are categorized into three main groups:
1. Returnees - This group consists of individuals who want to go back to their original homes or places of residence. They have a desire to return to their former lives as much as possible.
2. Relocators - These are people looking to move to a new area within the country, seeking a fresh start after leaving the unstable conditions of their previous home.
3. Integrators - This group wants to settle in the place where they are currently staying (their temporary homes) and adapt their lives there.
Understanding these classifications helps aid organizations tailor their support and resources according to the specific needs and circumstances of each group.
Examples & Analogies
Imagine a family that lost their home during a conflict. They might have three different attitudes about what to do next. The returnees are like eager students wishing to return to their old school after a temporary closure, hoping that everything is as they left it. The relocators are like families who decide to move to a different city for better job opportunities, excited about starting anew. The integrators are similar to students who have adapted well to a new school in a different town and now feel comfortable making that new place their home. Each group has distinct preferences and support needs, just like students adjusting to various school environments.
Subcategories Based on Land Tenure

These groups have been further subdivided based on land tenure whether they have land or without land or intend to rent or those without who intend to buy land.
Detailed Explanation
To better understand the needs of the displaced individuals, the broad target groups are further divided based on their land situation. This includes:
1. Landowners - Individuals who possess land and may want to return to it or buy additional land.
2. Renters - Those who don't own land but may look to rent a place in their new location. This category often includes the most vulnerable groups lacking resources.
3. Buyers - People who do not have land at all but intend to purchase land to establish a permanent home.
This classification helps assist agencies create more effective assistance strategies tailored to people's specific land needs, such as providing financial support for purchasing land or rental assistance.
Examples & Analogies
Consider a group of friends who have lost their homes due to a storm. Some of them own land, perhaps from their family's farm, and feel they can rebuild and return. Others might have been renting apartments and now search for a new affordable rental. A few may wish to save money to buy a small piece of land where they can build a new home. By understanding these varied land situations, organizations can help each friend group according to their specific housing needs, just like providing different kinds of support based on a student’s schooling needs—some may need books, others may need tuition assistance.
