Overview
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) operates the Camp Coordination & Camp Management (CCCM) programme in Ethiopia, working closely with the local communities, Government, particularly the Disaster Risk Management Commission, humanitarian actors, clusters and site management committees. The programme aims to improve living conditions and access to services for affected populations through coordination and information management, site planning, development, maintenance, improvement and community participation.
The CCCM programme operates in a variety of contexts, including static site management (collective centres, planned sites and self-settled sites) and an area-based approach (ABA) for people affected by displacement, including IDPs living in dispersed areas or within host communities. In response to the evolving displacement dynamics in Ethiopia, where many IDPs live outside of camp-like settings, IOM CCCM has prioritized the area-based approach (ABA). This approach facilitates assistance to populations affected by displacement (both host and displaced communities) living in eleven Kebeles (lowest administrative unit in Ethiopia) at Community Resource Centers (CRC) and outreach activities. In addition, IOM CCCM is working to expand the ABA approach in other regions of Ethiopia by involving more sectors, government and other service providers.
During the month, 2,039 individuals were relocated to Mai Dimu and 998 IDPs to UNMEE Planned Sites of Tigray region. The IDPs were living in dire conditions at host community and Collective centers. Additionally, 2,570 IDPs were relocated to a new settlement in Gode woreda from the Qoloji IDP sites in the Somali region as a part of a durable solutions plan.
As of December 2024, the IOM CCCM programme assisted 191,981 people across 27 IDP sites in the Somali and Tigray regions and 4 Community Resource Centers (CRCs) in Tigray region. IOM is seeking multi-year funding from donors and support from humanitarian-development actors to continue its multi-stakeholder, multi-sectoral, Area-Based CCCM response.
