Enhancing camp coordination and management systems to support displaced populations in Bosaso The overall goal of the proposed project is to contribute to improvement in conditions in IDP sites through strengthening the predictability and effectiveness of service provision and protection for displaced populations, with the aim to reach durable solutions through strengthened community self-management. DRC proposes a CCCM-specific project with dual components of 1) coordination at the CCCM Sub-National Cluster level and 2) camp management capacity building and site improvement in targeted sites. 

Under the first component, DRC proposes to fill the role of Co-Chair of the CCCM Sub-National Cluster based in Bosaso, alongside UNHCR. The CCCM Sub-National Cluster based in Bosaso coordinates across IDP sites in Bari, Sool, and Sanaag Regions.  In this capacity as Co-Chair, DRC will provide a dedicated CCCM Cluster focal person who will carry out the role and responsibilities of co-chair. This includes facilitating analysis of needs and intervention gaps within the IDP sites, initiating advocacy for support to respond to identified needs and gaps, as well as protection concerns, and administrating and documenting regular cluster meetings in collaboration with UNHCR. The focal person (co-chair) will work closely with DRC’s country CCCM Coordinator to ensure representation of IDP populations, implementing agencies, and other stakeholders from Bari and Sanaag in the National Cluster level meetings in Mogadishu. As much as possible, DRC will work alongside UNHCR to engage local authorities (governmental and community leadership) to work towards durable solutions for displaced populations. 

DRC will engage implementing partners and relevant authorities on identified needs, gaps, and overlaps. Furthermore, DRC will advocate for and support the adoption of an area-based approach for service delivery in IDP sites. DRC will conduct training of relevant government authorities in CCCM principles to enhance their understanding of humanitarian assistance through the CCCM model.

Under the second component of the project, DRC will take on responsibility for six targeted IDP sites in Bosaso district, targeting a largely underserved area. In this capacity DRC will:
-Map out existing governance structures and focal points at the targeted IDP sites. Where governance structures exist, their capacity will be built in camp management and other essential principles. Where these governance structures are absent, DRC will facilitate their establishment through the creation of Camp Management Committees (CMCs).
-Monitor service delivery in the IDP sites through CCCM Mobile Teams to identify any service gaps and overlaps of interventions by implementing agencies.
-Reinforce accountability to displaced populations through increasing communication and feedback on availability of services. This will be done through multiple approaches including construction and establishment of community centers for information hubs, and through awareness raising campaigns about site services. Furthermore, DRC will establish and strengthen complaint and feedback mechanisms (CFMs) in sites. For referrals, DRC will work with existing protection stakeholders on appropriate and principled referrals, with particular attention to protection concerns, and service delivery to persons with special needs.
-Work to improve site safety and hygiene through a participatory approach, utilizing a cash-for-work modality to carry out site maintenance activities. This additionally links participating IDP residents to temporary income and encourages ownership of the site. Site safety audits and fire hazard training will also be conducted.
