Key Findings

Research Findings by Thematic Area

The baseline survey examined six thematic domains to establish a comprehensive evidence base for targeted humanitarian programming.

Demographics
5.4 avg
persons per household

Minority IDP households are significantly larger than the Hargeisa urban average, compounding resource scarcity.

Livelihoods
78%
unemployment rate

Structural barriers to formal employment leave the majority reliant on irregular casual labour and petty trade.

Shelter
83%
live in makeshift structures

Most households occupy temporary shelters with no tenure security, exposing them to seasonal displacement risk.

Health
2.1 km
average distance to health facility

Limited proximity to health services, combined with inability to afford fees, results in critically low utilisation rates.

Education
61%
school-age children not enrolled

Economic pressure, distance, and discrimination are the primary barriers to school enrolment among minority IDP children.

Protection
47%
reported discrimination incidents

Nearly half of surveyed households reported experiencing discrimination or exclusion from public services in the past 12 months.
