Introduction Over the past 30 years, Somalia has experienced a surge in violent conflicts. These conflicts have resulted in human loss, large-scale displacements, injuries, and material damage. Violent conflicts have proven increasingly disruptive and lethal to local populations; they also seriously undermine livelihood strategies and countries prospects for development. Widespread poverty, malnutrition, and weakened governance are prevalent in Somalia, where 20 percent of the population are internally displaced (IDPs) and are among the most vulnerable. Fleeing the impacts of conflict, climate change, and natural disasters, many IDPs leave behind the protections of their clan structure and access to livelihoods to move into IDP camps or the surrounding areas. The camps can connect IDPs with live-saving humanitarian aid. Protracted conflict can have a significant impact not only on devastating peoples livelihood strategies but also on increasing incidents of sexual and gender-based violence, including of girls. Conflict-related events can affect childrens psychological and emotional well-being. This TOR, therefore, explores key drivers of conflict in the target area and its impact on livelihood interventions and women and youth. The assessment will identify conflict triggers, gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics between the IDPs and host communities and other actors (Gate keepers) and devise possible strategies on how to mitigate it for effective Activity programming. The Project (Adkeeysi) Resilience Food Security Activity(RFSA)/Adkeeysi is Five-year project lead by Save the Children (SC) and its partners, Fondazione AVSI (AVSI), Gargaar Relief and Development Organization (GREDO), and Shaqodoon Organization (Shaqodoon) to achieve the goal of extremely poor, socially marginalized populations in IDP settlements and surrounding host communities improve and maintain their food security despite shocks and stresses. Adkeeysi, which means resilience in Somali will target 54,000 households (HHs), containing 378,000 people, with a locally customized classic graduation approach (GA) that carefully and deliberately sequences and layers five graduation components. The purpose is for socially marginalized populations in both IDP camps and surrounding host communities to achieve resilience and sustainably graduate out of poverty. This will be achieved through an integrated, gender-sensitive approach to deliver three complementary results/purposes: Purpose 1: Social capital strengthened Purpose 2: Human capital increased Purpose 3: Prosperous and resilient livelihoods improved and sustained. The Adkeeysi Activity focuses on two geographies, Mogadishu and Afgoye, prioritizing the Daynile region of Mogadishu, Afgoye town, and the Afgoye Corridor that connects Daynile to Afgoye. Selection of those areas was based on several factors, including the estimated numbers of IDPs and impacted host communities; the existing operational footprint and experience of the consortium partners; and possibilities for strategic synergies with ongoing public-funded programs and private sector actors, along with opportunities for urban-rural linkages. Objective of the Assessment Save the Children and its implementing partners planned to conduct a conflict analysis in south and central Somalia specifically in the Daynile, Afgoye and Afgoye corridor of Mogadishu Banadir region. The key objective of the conflict assessment is to identify the key source/drivers of conflict in the target locations Tender Link : https://reliefweb.int/job/4116922/terms-reference-tor-conducting-conflict-mapping-and-analysis-resilience-food-security-activity-adkeeysi-project-banaadir-daynile
