This secondary data review summarizes information available on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Mogadishu and Doolow. The analysis considers recent events and information from mapping/profiling that have impacted the humanitarian conditions faced by IDP’s in Mogadishu and Doolow. The review helps to build a good understanding of the humanitarian situation, developments and data gaps, in the IDP camps.
The document aims to inform an assessment to support partners involved in the relocation plan of IDPs in Somalia. The relocation plan is linked to durable solutions for IDP’s, as such, key primary and relevant data is needed to inform policy and programmes.
The secondary data has been gathered from a range of quantitative and qualitative national/international sources (position papers, needs analysis, humanitarian updates, mapping etc). Despite this, due to the complexities of the operating environments, many sources of secondary data are not available and unaccounted for.
