Somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world. Conflict, drought, and insecurity have forced hundreds of thousands of people to fleet heir homes in 2021 and are expected to remain key drivers of displacement in 2022. Of the people displaced this year, an estimated 214,000 (40%) are school-aged children. Concurrent shocks such as drought and floods adversely affect children’s learning. An estimated408,000 (45% girls) school-going children are affected by the ongoing drought conditions in the country. Similarly, the Gu floods in May 2021 closed most schools in semi-urban, affecting more than 46.000 learners.
