Need analysis
According to PRMN report, over 800,000 people have been displaced by floods, drought and conflict between January and March 2023. Most of the displaced have arrived in Mogadishu, Ceel Dheer, Dhusamareeb, Garoowe, Laas Canood, Xaradheere, Cadaado, Buhoodle, El barde, Bossaso, Baardheere, and Baidoa districts. These have joined around 1.4 million people displaced by drought between Jan 2021 and December 2022 and another 1.14M displaced due to conflict during the same period.
Response
In March 2023, the Cluster Partners reached 79,696 people with non-food items (NFI) kits; and 26,708 people with shelter assistance. Cumulatively in 2023, using the new methodology of eliminating overlap for households who have received both NFI and Shelter assistance, the Shelter Cluster partners reached 229,410 individuals (16%) of 1.4 million people targeted with NFI and NFI assistance.
Gaps / challenges
- Prices of shelter commodities have increased sharply in the recent past affecting delivery of assistance e.g. through cash.
- Lack of standard names for IDP site names make it difficult to coordinate activities at site level
- Failure to identify shelter needs in famine prevention makes it difficult to advocate for shelter response
