Background

Following 2016’s significant below average Gu (Apr–Jun) and Deyr (Nov-Dec) rainy seasons in Somalia, severe drought is widespread across the country. If action is not taken immediately, signals point towards a growing humanitarian crisis in Somalia of potentially catastrophic proportions. With an increasing number of individuals at risk of food security, the previously estimated 5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance has increased to 6.2 million. Between February and June 2017, the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) is expected to increase from 1.1 million to 3 million individuals.

The IOM Somalia team is implementing frontline activities as well as taking the lead in coordinating the newly-activated Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) cluster to improve the coordination, delivery and monitoring of humanitarian services to vulnerable populations living in communal settings.
