The overall objective of the project is to contribute to Somalia’s transition out of fragility by strengthening stability and security and by creating a favourable environment for the economic and social development that enhances the absorption capacities of areas of return of displaced population and improves livelihood conditions in areas of return as well as departure.
To assist Somalia in its response to the COVID-19 pandemic, a €5 million top-up to this action was approved in November 2020.
The specific objective of the project is to support a sustainable and durable reintegration of refugees, returnees from Yemen, Kenya, Europe and other areas of departure and IDPs in Somalia, and to anchor populations within Somalia.
