For more than two decades, Somalia has experienced violence, conflict and lawlessness, which has exacerbated poverty and hardship, undermined social and economic development, and made it challenging for the international community to address humanitarian and development priorities. Long-standing conflicts, drought and floods have disrupted livelihoods, and food security coping mechanisms, with repeated failure of crops, diminishing water resources and water quality, depleted livestock, rising food prices and deteriorating purchasing power. In 2011, Somalia experienced a severe drought leading to the deaths of an estimated 260,000 people, and affecting countless others. The effects of this drought are still felt today, and are exacerbated by recently flooding, with on-going displacement, and recovery challenges affecting return rates and livelihood recovery.
