According to the latest Somalia Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) IDP Site Master List, in the 4th quarter of 2024 the overall number of verified IDP sites in Somalia was 3 822, hosting a total IDP population of about 689 000 households or about 4 029 000 individuals.23 However, government estimates are not always aligned with those of the humanitarian sector. As indicated by the SNBS, selected IDP camp sites surveyed at the end of 2022 in Baidoa, Beledweyne, Kismayo, and Mogadishu, reportedly registered an overall number of IDP households and IDP individuals that was respectively 40.8 % and 51.3 % of the corresponding CCCM Cluster estimates.24
According to recent estimates from the UNHCR CCCM Cluster, 85 % of the sites at country level are informal settlements on private land and about 74 % of them are in urban areas.25
