IOM Somalia: 2018 Consolidated Appeal for Emergency Programming

The 2018 Somalia Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) appeals for USD 1,569,495,765 to target 5.4 million people for assistance. The appeal highlights emergency humanitarian assistance based on IOM’s existing capacity, focusing on the most urgent needs of the affected population.

IOM coordinates under the Inter Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Humanitarian Cluster System. IOM is the CCCM co-lead and participates fully in each of the other sector cluster committees such as Health, Protection, WASH and S-NFI. IOM coordinates with relevant government partners such as the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Ministry of Water and Energy, Ministry of Health (MoH) at the Federal and State levels, as well as humanitarian partners such as other UN Agencies, local and international non-governmental agencies (NGO).

The complementary approach to multi-sectoral programming significantly improves the strength of IOM’s emergency humanitarian interventions. Programmes consider the importance of gender sensitive programming, durable solutions, beneficiary ownership and resiliency.
