In this collaborative report, CLEAR GLOBAL, HISA, JVDC, MCAN and Minority Rights Group International explore the comprehension of polio vaccination messages among IDPs in Mogadishu, Banadir District, southeastern Somalia who speak only or primarily Maay. Repeated cycles of conflict, famine and floods have seen large numbers of households move within Somalia. Thus, the need for inclusive health provision within IDP camps is of vital importance. The report is based on interviews conducted with 24 Maay speakers in three IDP camp locations using a range of tools including qualitative approaches such as comprehension testing. The results show that those who speak only or primarily Maay do not fully understand most of the health messages on polio and polio vaccination presented within current vaccination campaigns which use another dialect or language spoken in Somalia (Mahaatiri). Visual aids and images accompanied by Mahaatri text, which are used by health workers to explain polio to Maay speakers, are also not well understood. These findings show that for those who speak only Maay, the language of communication is a barrier, meaning that some do not sign up for vaccination outreach programmes, and that this contributes to the frustration of considerable efforts to reach 100% vaccination rates to eradicate polio in the area. Levels of trust in polio eradication campaigns within the IDP camps are low, these research findings show, not least because of a lack of representation of ethnicity within current visual aids, and given the absence of culturally and linguistically sensitive translation of polio eradication campaigns to Maay speaking populations. This report will be a vital resource to health workers, human rights activists, polio experts, researchers and United Nations health campaigns seeking to understand the need for intercultural health policies in Somalia, and the need to prioritise the demands of displaced minority groups. Access to health is being undermined as a result of assumptions made or beliefs held about the ability of Maay and Mahaatiri speakers to understand both languages which affects how information is disseminated, with detrimental impacts on the rates of vaccination. This report also concludes that unless health campaigns aimed at eradicating polio in Somalia address linguistic, ethnic and cultural specificity, and issues of marginalisation of minority groups is prioritised within polio campaigns at the level of recruitment of and training for workers and appropriate design of literature and visual aids, goals to reach 100% rate of vaccination among local populations in Banadir District will remain challenging.

I didn’t ever want to care about another human being again. It hurt too much; left me feeling too empty, too worthless. And so I decided for a second time that I was going to try to play the indifferent game. I was too late though . . . By the time I’d decided, I’d already been affected in ways I hadn’t even realized. The virus had taken hold of me, mutating my identity and inner thoughts until they had transformed to almost complete self-abhorrence. It had happened so slowly over the years that I hadn’t even noticed it, and only now, in retrospect, do I realize how much my mind had changed in that time. But for you to really understand, you would have to be able to read my mind.
