Highlights 2024
Within Somalia, IOM, CESDO, SCC, NoFYL, DRC, and ACTED, implement Site Management (SM) programming across 1,335 IDP sites, reaching approximately 1,414,635 individuals with support from BHA, ECHO, EU, FCDO, IOM, Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, SIDA, SHF, World Bank and GFFO. In 2024, 233 Complaints and Feedback Mechanism (CFM) staff received feedback. Each Site Management partner covers a different number of sites and therefore, manages varying amounts of community feedback. IOM covers 727 sites & 34,891 tickets of feedback, SCC covers 97 sites & 2,036 tickets, DRC covers 143 sites & 1,530 tickets, NoFYL covers 43 sites & 941 tickets, ACTED covers 142 sites & 647 tickets, and CESDO covers 33 sites & 571 tickets.
In 2024, conflict-related insecurity, especially inter-clan fighting, was the primary driver of internal displacement in Somalia, sharply increasing the volume of feedback from 24,010 in 2023 to 42,599 total in 2024. However, displacement was also driven by severe flooding linked to the El Niño phenomenon, which caused above-average rainfall during the Gu (MarchJune) and Deyr (September–November) seasons. Recurring riverine and flash floods, particularly in urban areas and the Juba and Shabelle catchments, forced thousands to flee.
Flooding severely damaged infrastructure and essential services, leading to water shortages, poor sanitation, and limited food access. In displacement sites, stagnant water increased the risk of disease, while temporary shelters were destroyed, leaving many exposed to harsh conditions. Relocation areas offered limited services, heightening humanitarian needs.
Beyond displacement, floods devastated livelihoods, submerging croplands and destroying key infrastructure, worsening food insecurity. This contributed to a rise in Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) related feedback. Key Recommendations are provided on the last page of this report.
