    Duration: September 2017 - June 2020
    Budget: US$6,000,000
    Implementing Agencies: IOM (lead), UN Habitat, UNOPS​

    For centuries, the Somali way of life has been shaped, altered and defined by mobility amongst different population groups, with over 70% engaged in seminomadic pastoralism. While there has been progress towards recovery and stability since the formation of a new government in 2012, human insecurities from economic to food, health, environmental, political, personal, and community remain entrenched and compounded by structural factors related to governance, inequality, marginalization and exclusion. ​
