GENERAL UPDATES
**Site Verification**: CCCM cluster jointly with local authorities and partners conducted a total of 4
verification assessments in 4 districts. 4 IDP sites were verified in Burco which hosts 6,990HH (41,940
individuals), and 3 sites in Hargeysa hosting 1,142 HH (6,852 individuals), 2 sites in Caynabo hosting 460
HH (2,760 individuals) and 1 site in Ceel Afweyn hosting 420 HH (2,520 individuals).
**Coordination**: CCCM Cluster partners conducted 2 coordination meetings at site level. During the
monthly CCCM coordination meeting in Kismaayo North, stakeholders such as partners, local
authorities, and IDP community representatives convened to address pressing gaps in monitored sites,
most notably lack of clean water, shallow wells to extract water, and lack of quality latrines/toilets,
inadequate shelter and shortage of quality tarpaulin sheets in most camps, lack of adequate
schools/education facilities, lack of health care services [most notably Maternal and Child Health Clinic
services, maternity, labor/delivery care], child services, lack of shallow wells, no health facilities in most
sites and no GBV counselling for all the sites in Kismayo North. CCCM cluster notes that the emergency
shelter tarpaulins distributed to affected communities do not withstand the harsh weather conditions in
Kismayo and several other locations in Somalia. CCCM cluster recommends anew that humanitarian
actors immediately carry out comprehensive post-distribution monitoring to improve quality of
programming/interventions to uphold displaced populations’ fundamental right to dignity.
**Service Monitoring**: CCCCM partners jointly with 11 agencies, including Government counterparts,
conducted site monitoring activities in 1,583 IDP sites covering 25 districts. Out of the 1,583 IDP sites
managed by CCCM partners monitored in May, 245 sites received new arrivals during May (15%). 85%
of the sites hosting new arrivals received community awareness activities on availability of services.
Overall, IDPs have water access in 72% of sites. CCCM cluster is currently updating several of its tools
to collect information on whether water is available free of cost or whether water prices place a
significant financial burden on displaced populations. Primary education facilities are available in 51% of
sites, while IDPs in 37% of sites can access primary education facilities within a 20-minute walk. IDP
populations in 67% of sites have access to health facilities within a walking distance while facilities for
nutrition were available in 80% of sites. 92% of surveyed sites consist of emergency shelter type, 5% of
sites have transitional shelters while 2% of sites have permanent shelters. The site monitoring shows
moreover that only 8% of IDP households in the surveyed locations have received cash for food or food
assistance in kind within the last 6 months. UNHCR’s CCCM partner NoFYL conducted site monitoring
activities in 20 IDP sites across 3 districts of Adado, Dhusamareeb and South Galkacyo.

**Communication with Communities**: CCCM partners conducted orientation sessions on available
humanitarian services including during MUAC screening with newly displaced IDPs. Camp
management leaders and camp management committees (CMCs) [set up with the support of CCCM
cluster partners in Kismayo to ensure equitable access to services and assistance, while minimizing risks
of aid diversion] conducted awareness sessions and supported with the distribution of humanitarian
assistance from UAE to 200 household vulnerable beneficiaries identified with the support of Protection
experts.
**Complaint and Feedback Mechanism (CFM)**: A total of 4,307 tickets were received during May.
Highest number of feedback/complaints/requests ((1,249 tickets) relate to food security, followed by
ES/NFI related requests (1,223 tickets), while 950 tickets relate to WASH requests/complaints. Relevant
clusters and agencies addressed and resolved 41.32 percent of the tickets received. 25.29 percent of the
tickets remain unresolved, while 4.33 percent were closed upon receipt. 29.06 percent of the tickets
were closed automatically one month after receipt due to lack of response from the responsible agency
where the requests/complaints were referred to for solutions.

**Site improvement activities/Cash for Work**: The Cash-for-Work (CFW) Teams continued site cleaning
activities across 89 IDP sites in Catchment area 6 in Khada, contributing to the overall maintenance of
sites. Site maintenance activities were carried out through Cash for Work with the support of CCCM
partners in Dayniile. Cash for work activities were conducted in Catchment area 10 zone with 600
households receiving $60 each. This Cash for Work intervention empowered approximately 3,600
persons to regain their sense of self-value while providing a decent living to meet basic needs.
**New Arrivals**: CCCCM partners continue recording large numbers of displaced populations arriving in
IDP sites in, Dayniile, Khada, Baidoa and Kismayo, and many other districts due to the impact of
drought, flooding and conflict. In May, at least 16,149 new arrivals were displaced mainly due to the
drought, flooding and conflict experienced in the past months. The majority of IDPs originate from
Afgooye, Qoryooley and Baidoa districts according to data recorded in CCCM cluster’s NAT tool from
week 18 to week 22. CCCM Partners continued to closely work with Nutrition Partners to conduct MUAC
screening across sites to ensure that SAM and MAM cases are referred to Nutrition partners for
immediate assistance.

**Key asks**
1. CCM cluster urges all relevant partners to immediately conduct Post Distribution Monitoring to
identify ways of improving the quality of materials distributed to better meet the needs of beneficiaries
and uphold their fundamental right to dignity, in addition to scrutinizing patterns of inclusion/exclusion
linked to aid diversion to eliminate them. Monitoring and evaluation activities both advance the safety
and dignity of affected populations and enable inclusive and accountable programming. CCCM cluster
is ready to lead such exercises if funding is allocated.
2. CCCM cluster and partners are compelled to discontinue Cash for Work activities due to insufficient
funding. Many lifesaving cash for work programmes which stimulated livelihoods, employment
opportunities and improved living conditions for unskilled vulnerable and marginalized communities
have been discontinued at the end May. At least 150,000 internally displaced persons belonging to
vulnerable segments of displaced communities will lose the capacity to meet their basic needs. CCCM
cluster notes that vulnerable populations do not have access to sustainable livelihoods opportuni
