SOMALIA - Strengthening Urban Resilience of Displaced and Host Communities in Doolow Project (SURDHT)

The Strengthening Urban Resilience of Displaced and Host Communities in Doolow Project (SURDHT) aims to improve living conditions, resilience, and socio-economic inclusion for internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in the town of Doolow, Southern Somalia. The total project cost is UA 17.96 million, of which UA 15 million is financed through a Transition Support Facility (TSF) Pillar I – Prevention Envelope grant. The Government of Somalia will contribute UA 2.96 million in kind. The project is executed by the National Center for Rural Development and Durable Solutions (NCRDS) and implemented by UNHCR, under a tripartite arrangement with the African Development Bank, leveraging UNHCR’s field presence and experience in fragile contexts. The project covers four major components: gender and youth empowerment, climate-resilient livelihoods, infrastructure development, and project management and institutional strengthening.
