Baseline Study Report for Fostering Social Cohesion Through Durable Solutions to Displacement in Jowhar District Project - BREACH

The BREACH project aims to address the challenges faced by Displacement Affected Communities
(DACs) in Johwar, Somalia fueled by the protracted crises including the climate-related disasters. These include drought, floods, and the locust invasion, conflicts, and an economic crisis which deepen the humanitarian needs in Somalia. It focuses on providing durable solutions through reintegration to enhance resilience and rights enjoyment. The project targets DAC communities, host community members, landless IDPs, children, vulnerable individuals, GBV survivors, women, unemployed youth, and government
stakeholders among others.

Interventions include enhancement of access to basic services (Livelihood opportunities, HLP, WASH,
Health and Nutrition and social Protection) with an aim of enhancing livelihoods, foster community
cohesion, and contribute to social integration through an area-based community-centered approach. The
project spans 30 months and targets 40,000 individuals in specific settlement areas. Implemented by a
consortium led by NRC and ACF, with WARDI as co-beneficiary and HPRD as the learning partner,
collaboration with other organizations is emphasized to avoid duplication of efforts.
