Provision of unconditional cash transfer for vulnerable IDP communities with high intersectoral severity of needs that have experienced climatic shocks and to mitigate further displacement in Kismayo ltpgtThe 2024 Deyr rains that started in October, November, and December of 2023 caused significant flooding in several parts of Kismayo town and the surrounding areas in the Lower Juba state of Somalia. The above-normal rains marked the beginning of the Deyr (October to December) rainy season in Somalia, which resulted in flooding due to the influence of the El Niño conditions. Rapid Multi-sectoral Needs Assessment of populations affected by Deyr flooding in Kismayo District, Somalia, in December 2023 showed that the majority identified shelter as a priority need for flood-affected men, women, and children, and multipurpose cash transfers were reported for adults. Mosquito net was reported as an urgent non-food item (NFI) requirement in 92% of sites, while borrowing/debt was reported as the primary source of food in 72% of sites and 56% that reported distance to the local market could last between 1-3 hours after flooding. ltbrgtThe SHF’s 2024 SA 1 strategy targets communities in districts whose needs are forecast to deteriorate without sustained humanitarian assistance by implementing multisectoral responses to support ongoing responses, prevent deterioration in the severity of needs, and mitigate further displacements AYUUB is proposing this project to also integrate with other agencies implementing SHF’s SA 1 projects, particularly on Health, WASH, and Nutrition in Kismayu district of Lower Juba.
