NEEDS ANALYSIS
• Close to half of the 1,060,000 people displaced in 2017 by drought and conflict remain in need of emergency Shelter and NFIs assistance. Majority of them are in and around Baidoa, Mogadishu and Afgoye corridor.
• An additional 1.0 million are protracted displaced and require support to improve their living conditions.
• Safe and secure settlements are needed to provide crisisaffected communities with protected and healthy living spaces and environments, while ensuring sufficient privacy and dignity.
GAPS / CHALLENGES
Drought displacements are now taking a protracted trend, with many of those displaced in 2017 not planning to return to areas of origin.
Many IDP settlements risk evictions for lack of secure tenure. Advocacy is needed to reduce secondary displacements.
The current dyer rains and flooding are causing further damage to already weak shelters, leaving many without shelter.
Effective delivery of assistance is hampered by limited access, insecurity, road blocks / check points and poor road network..
Low funding for Shelter and NFIs has left no stocks prepositioned for emergency response.
RESPONSE
• 32,446 persons received Non Food Items (NFIs) in October
• 6,600 persons received Emergency Shelter assistance in October
