Example – IDP Site Definition Guideline, Somali Disaster Management Agency

The protracted IDP situation has raised the need to analyze the effectiveness and appropriateness of how IDP sites are defined within Somalia. In efforts to build consensus on the discussion, the Somalia Disaster Management Agency (SODMA) in collaboration with the CCCM cluster, initiated consultative workshops at the federal level to develop harmonized guiding principles on contextualized site definitions, and provide guidance on IDP sites characteristics. The overall objective is to enable transition into viable permanent settlements with durable solution lens and to potentially phase out IDP sites.
