Somalia Durable Solutions Progress (DSP) Survey 2024-2025 Analysis Report

Starting in 2024, the Federal Government of Somalia’s (FGS) Ministry of Planning, Investment and Economic Development (MoPIED) is leading the implementation of the Durable Solutions Progress (DSP) Survey. Implemented in coordination with Federal Member States (FMSs) and local authorities, and supported by IOM and partners, the DSP Survey aims to support the implementation of the National Durable Solutions Strategy (NDSS) through providing representative data amongst IDPs and host community households.

The survey also closely aligns with the Solutions Pathways Action Plan, which was launched in September 2024. The survey is carried out in the country’s urban centers that host IDPs. Field implementation is coordinated by federal, state and local authorities, with data collection supported by IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) unit as well as the Danwadaag Consortium and the Saameynta Joint Programme.

The first phase of this survey was implemented between April and June 2024. The next rounds will follow in 2025. This will result in approximately 70 per cent of the country’s IDP caseload being covered with representative data.
