In recent years, internal displacement and resettlement appear increasingly on
UNHCR's agenda. This report illustrates how UNHCR tried to cope with these new
challenges in Somali Region 5 by developing a `cross-mandate' approach in
conjunction with other UN agencies. Secondary analytic themes are the effects of
relief and rehabilitation programmes on pastoralists, and the constructive or
economic uses of food aid, and the capacity and knowledge of the local economic
dynamics that they require.
