From Climate-Induced Displacement to Durable Solutions: Evidence from Somalia’s Durable Solutions Progress (DSP)
In Somalia, drought and floods continue to force families from their homes, many of them to cities where services and secure shelter are limited. Lasting solutions depend on reliable evidence of how displaced people and host communities are faring.
As of March 2026, about 3.3 million people were internally displaced, and drought caused 92 percent of displacement in the first quarter of 2026. In the first phase of the DSP survey, covering eight cities in 2024, 66 percent of displaced people preferred to integrate locally. Fewer than 40 percent lived in transitional or durable shelters.
This session looks at what the DSP evidence shows and how it can guide policy, programmes and investment for durable solutions in Somalia.
