IMPACT Initiatives
Somalia remains within a complex and protracted crisis due to active conflict, the presence of non-state armed actors, the persistent presence of communicable diseases and climate-driven onset shocks including droughts and flooding. Conflict and natural disasters continue to drive displacement and constrain the availability of resources, while the presence of armed groups severely impedes the level of access and support provided by humanitarian actors. The combination of restricted access to resources, drought, and flooding further exacerbates the possibility for outbreaks of communicable diseases like measles, cholera, and acute watery diarrhea (AWD), Against this backdrop, IMPACT Initiatives has developed a wide range of research cycles to provide an evidence-base for the humanitarian community. This includes support to the Somali Cash Consortium, the Joint Market Monitoring Initiative, Detailed Site Assessments (DSAs), the Durable Solutions Readiness Assessment (DSRA); and leadership of the Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA), Humanitarian Situation Monitoring (HSM), Rapid Needs Assessments (RNA).
