Somalia Durable Solutions Progress (DSP) Survey - Terms of Reference

In 2024, the Federal Government of Somalia (FGS) prioritised the coordination of assistance to IDPs to advance towards durable solutions. Under the leadership of the federal Ministry of Planning, Investment and Economic Development (MoPIED) and in partnership with other FGS ministries and Federal Member States (FMS), the National Durable Solutions Strategy (NDSS) is an operational roadmap that sets out a collective vision, strategic objectives and principles to guide the implementation of durable solutions policy and programming.

Under the NDSS sits the National Solutions Pathways Action Plan, a strategic blueprint launched in September 2024 by FGS, aimed at supporting one million IDPs to advance towards solutions in the five years up to 2029.

The Durable Solutions Progress (DSP) Survey focuses on supporting MoPIED and other partners to implement the NDSS and the Solutions Pathways Action Plan, through strengthening the evidence base to support policy and programming. The survey tool and analytical framework have been developed in line with the NDSS Monitoring and Evaluation Framework, as well as the Inter- Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Framework on Durable Solutions for IDPs, and the International Recommendations on IDP Statistics (IRIS).
