Durable Solutions for Somali refugee returnees and IDPs in Baidoa through promoting immediate and sustainable livelihoods

ILO seeks to support the economic reintegration of spontaneous and/or facilitated group returns to Somalia and internal displaced persons (IDPs) in Baidoa through a diversified livelihood and community-based approach. This approach aims to establish conditions that will enable returnees, IDPs and their communities access their basic needs and restore their livelihoods with dignity. The project also contributes to peace building and reconciliation by reducing the conflicts between returnees and host communities, caused by the high demand and limited livelihood opportunities which often undermine peace. Supporting returning refugees and IDPs with adequate resources to re-start their lives is also crucial in reducing their vulnerability.
