“Investing in resilience building and disaster risk reduction, in climate adaptation, and in durable solutions will yield a far greater return on investment, than responding to disasters alone,” — @UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator, @GConway_UN#DRRday#ResiliencePays
In Baidoa, today Met with the @UNmigration team to review the ongoing IDP biometric verification in Baidoa—13 of 17 catchments covered so far.
Over 284,000 individuals were registered across 13 catchment areas, improving the precision of population figures and reducing duplication. The exercise revealed a 30% adjustment in individual-level data, demonstrating enhanced accuracy and accountability in registration processes.
This initiative jointly implemented by the International Organization for Migration @iom_somalia, @Acted, and the Danish Refugee Council @DRCSomalia through the #BRaVE system.
We discussed steps we need to take to complete the remaining catchments in order to obtain complete picture of Baidoa IDPs.
We commend @CCCMCluster biometrics registration and assure to advocate with @IOM to raise resources needed to complete Biometric IDP registration throughout South West State of Somalia.
As the humanitarian situation in the State worsens, biometric data will play a vital role in ensuring efficient and effective response—helping prevent duplication and misuse of resources.
