| Description |
Somalia has been facing multiple obstacles in developing and implementing durable solutions to effectively address in internal displacement. Jubaland is among the most drought-hit states in the nation with over 62,361 drought displaced individuals in Luglow Settlement and 134,381 in Doolow Town as at September 2022. The government is keen on relocating IDPs at a high risk of eviction and flooding from Kismayu to Luglow where there may be better housing, better access to water and health, and access to agricultural opportunities. However, displaced communities in Luglow and Doolow still lack adequate access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities.
The large number of IDPs in these towns also stretches existing social amenities far beyond capacity, limiting people’s access to basic social services. According to the National Durable Solutions Strategy (2020-2024) report by the Federal Government of Somalia, comprehensive collaboration between development, humanitarian, and peace-building actors can be instrumental in addressing the root causes of displacement in the nation and the resulting consequences. The strategy for this project is built around five significant strategic goals intended to tackle the diverse challenges experienced by displaced populations and ultimately contribute towards improving the health and quality of life of dislocated persons within Somalia.
