Durable Solutions Through Community Resilience - IOM/FAO/UN Habitat Hållbara Lösningar genom ökad resiliens hos lokalsamhällen - IOM/FAO/UN Habitat The programme "Strengthening Resilience of Disaster Affected Communities through Durable Solutions in Oromia and Somali Regions of Ethiopia" is under the Durable Solutions Framework, and will be implemented through the collaborative efforts of three UN agencies: International Organisation for Migration (IOM), United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), and the United Nations Human Settlement Program (UN Habitat). IOM will be the contracting partner, and the lead agency for the programme.  

The overarching objective is to contribute to durable solutions through improved conditions for sustainable socio-economic recovery and peaceful co-existence of disaster-affected communities with particular attention to most vulnerable groups while strengthening local government capacity in responding to the needs of internal displacement. Guided by a community-centered operational framework, the project aims to achieve proposed objectives framed around the key pillars of the DSI strategy, with interventions at operational, planning, policy, legislative, and institutional levels. The linkage between the three specialised UN agencies will, through coordinated integrated approaches aimed at generating legal, material, and physically protection for displacement affected communities, create synergies between operational activities for urban-rural linkages, community cohesion, livelihood, access to housing, land, and property (HLP), and access to basic services. Programmet "Strengthening Resilience of Disaster Affected Communities through Durable Solutions in Oromia and Somali Regions of Ethiopia" ligger inom ramen för Durable Solutions Framework, och genomförs i samarbete mellan tre FN-organ: Förenta Nationernas (FN) Internationella Organisation för Migration (IOM), FNs Livsmedels- och jordbruksorganisation (FAO) samt FNs Program för Mänsklig Bosättning (UN Habitat). 

Det övergripande målet är att bidra till hållbara lösningar genom förbättrade villkor för hållbar socioekonomisk återhämtning och fredlig samexistens mellan internflyktingar och värdsamhällen, med särskild uppmärksamhet på de mest utsatta, i kombination med stöd till lokala myndigheter för att stärka deras kapacitet att möta internflyktingars behov. Med vägledning av ett samhällscentrerat operativt ramverk syftar projektet till att uppnå föreslagna mål i enlighet med DSI-strategins nyckelområden, med insatser på operativ, planerings-, policy-, lagstiftnings- och institutionell nivå. Kopplingen mellan de tre specialiserade FN-organen kommer, genom samordnade integrerade tillvägagångssätt som syftar till att skapa rättsligt, materiellt och fysiskt skydd för fördrivna samhällen, skapa synergier mellan operativa aktiviteter för kopplingar mellan stad och landsbygd, fredlig samexistens, försörjning, tillgång till bostäder, mark , och egendom (HLP), och tillgång till grundläggande tjänster. The overarching objective is to "contribute to durable solutions through improved conditions for sustainable socio-economic recovery and peaceful co-existence of disaster-affected communities with particular attention to the most vulnerable groups while strengthening local government capacity in responding to the needs of internal displacement".

To promote the provision of sustainable support allowing for short to medium to long-term development, project operations are two-staged where activities take place both in locations of displacement identifying and supporting households with return, relocation, and (re)integration, while simultaneously intervening in hosting communities to support socio-economic (re)integration through a whole of society area-based interventions.

The programme has 4 specific outcomes, each UN partner responsible for one outcome each, with the fourth outcome being joint for ensuring complementarity, coordination, lessons learnt, etc.: 

Outcome 1: Target communities are supported to relocate, return, and (re)integrate through the implementation of community-based planning and multi-sectoral recovery interventions aimed at building community cohesion and resilience (main responsible IOM)

Outcome 2: Enhanced economic status of the vulnerable members in the displacement-affected communities through facilitated opportunities for livelihood diversification options through on-farm and off-farm interventions and increased access to finance (main responsible FAO)

Outcome 3: Regional and woreda administrations can facilitate sustainable reintegration of IDPs through the woreda development (main responsible UN Habitat)

Outcome 4: The Governments capacity in mainstreaming durable solutions in its programmes is maintained and enhanced (All UN agencies)
