Multi-Sectoral Support to Communities Affected by Conflict and Natural Hazards Since the collapse of the Somali central government in 1991, Somalia has suffered a highly complex protracted conflict characterized by changing political dynamics and power shifts. Although there have been improvements to the peace and security situation in Somalia since the formation of the Federal Government of Somalia in 2012, the overall situation remains fragile with Al-Shabab a major obstacle to peace and security. Forced displacement remains an ongoing a reality for people living in Somalia due to armed conflict, environmental hardships due to climate change, combined with inadequate resource distribution that is often exacerbated by clan based, ideological differences and land and natural resources competition. The COVID-19 pandemic has added yet another hazard that people in Somalia face. While it has now been over a year since the first case was detected in Somalia and efforts have been made to mitigate the risk, the situation is always evolving. With the main objective to ensure dignified, safe and secure living conditions and basic services for vulnerable populations affected by conflict and disasters in Somalia, IOM proposes an integrated camp coordination and camp management, Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) and shelter and non-food item emergency support.
