Somalia: Shelter Cluster Factsheet, March 2016

Attachments

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

SO1:Contribute to the protection of displaced people, including those affected by natural hazards, through provision of NFIs and Emergency shelter.

SO2: Improve the living conditions of the protected internally displaced persons (T-shelters, permanent shelter and improved land tenure).

NEED ANALYSIS

Drought victims in Bari, Sanaag and Nugaal regions are in dire need of urgent shelter/NFI interventions.

Advocacy for longer-term land tenure is key to ensuring adequate shelter support.

Eviction is still a major hurdle in the provision of sustainable solutions in most parts of Somalia.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Cluster partners are planning to conduct an IDP mapping exercise in Beletweyne, Hiraan; Qardho, Bari ; Garowe, Nugaal.
  • Parts of Puntland and Somaliland continue to experience severe drought conditions. This has caused displacement of pastrolists and other people of concern
  • REACH in conjunction with Shelter cluster held an Open Data Souce training for members in Nairobi between 29th to 31st March 2016.
  • REACH provided support in the rolling out of the SIRNA in Somaliland and Puntland.
