Ethiopia, IOM - Durable Solutions

Projekt abgeschlossen

Ethiopia has about 2.1 million internally displaced people (IDPs) mainly due to conflict, drought and flood. Addressing the needs of IDPs has been limited to meeting their short-term humanitarian needs. Given the prolonged economic, social, and gender impacts of displacement on individuals, there is a critical need for longer-term solutions. Switzerland will contribute through IOM to address the long-term needs of the displaced and host communities in their search for self-sufficiency.

Hintergrund The internal displacement situation in Ethiopia is complex, severe, protracted with new level of scale. Natural and man-made disasters are the major drivers of displacement for large numbers of people resulting in loss of human lives and assets, disruption of livelihoods and damaging basic services and infrastructure, as well as weakening coping mechanisms of host communities. The displaced population need not only lifesaving assistance and basic service delivery, but also livelihoods promotion interventions and durable solutions activities. Notwithstanding this trend, internal displacement is a sensitive issue in Ethiopia. Devising durable solutions is challenging considering the lack of information available (coping mechanisms, access to services and displacement patterns, including secondary movements). There is also a gap in substantive dialogue and engagement with the Government of Ethiopia on root causes of displacement and how to address them due to policy and political implications as well as technical and capacity issues. IOM has been leading the dialogue and coordination on durable solutions for IDPs in Ethiopia since 2014. This intervention will also serve as a bridging phase towards the durable solutions regional program that will be developed through an Entry Proposal (EP) in 2019 on IDPs and refugees through WOGA approach.
Ziele Contribute to the Government of Ethiopia's efforts to progressively resolve the displacement conditions of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the country.
