Around the town of Galkaiyo, southern Puntland, there are almost 60,000 displaced people living in very basic and difficult conditions in 21 spontaneous settlements. This project aimed to work with a target group of 2,000 of the most vulnerable households (12,000 people) and support them with temporary shelter and a range of hygiene inputs.

Although the emergency distributions did happen wherever possible, the evaluation team found that due to limitations on the supply pipelines and due to lack of access, the actual emergency interventions were often carried out considerably after the beneficiaries had actually arrived.

All the project's objectives had, however, been achieved and inputs were found relevant and timely. The beneficiaries interviewed were satisfied that the targeting had been undertaken appropriately and that the most needy of the beneficiaries were those identified to receive tents and other assistance.

There are considerable unmet humanitarian needs in the area. IDPs indicated that their biggest need remains the ability to work and to earn money and become self-supporting
