Somali Answer

The objective is to provide life-saving assistance to
communities affected by disasters, including natural
disasters, droughts, floods, and others.

As a program manager, my role is to supervise all the

cash transfers to achieve the purpose and objectives of
the donor until it reaches the beneficiaries.

The stakeholders may include ministries, commissions

mandated to the IDPs, the Ministry of Humanitarian and
Disaster Management, and line ministries specializing in
this activity. On cash transfers, we collaborate and
conduct assessments together, specifically for new IDPs
and the previous ones.

There is no salary received by the stakeholders. The

GRA receives salaries; they are community mobilizers
and receive their salaries from UNHCR. The village
community CCCM does not receive salaries as they
work voluntarily.

It impacts positively; we coordinate activities jointly

with them and face no challenges. The role of
government policy is coordination, supervision, and
overseeing how projects are designed during the
assessment.
We conduct assessments together with the government
and other partners, including CCCM clusters and cash
transfer groups. After that, we write proposals to donors
and other implementing partners to assist those families.
We then identify the villages to reach vulnerable
households, submit our plan to the WFP, conduct
selection and biometric registration, and finally get the
scope and go back to donors to get food.

We identify food security clusters and ministries, select

families with malnourished children, marginalized
families, families without food, and newly arrived
families. The selection process is the responsibility of
donors, the government, and other stakeholders.

We conduct a lot of observation, awareness campaigns,

and PDM (Post-Distribution Monitoring) every quarter.

We face challenges during the implementation of

projects, including limited resources and a large gap in
food or cash assistance. People feel left out when
resources are limited.
The organization takes measures to avoid unfairness by
increasing the participation of stakeholders

Currently, Somalia is facing aid divergence. As an

organization, we take steps to avoid aid divergence.
During the selection process, we work jointly, increasing
the participation of the community and the government,
which improves implementation and reduces aid
divergence in Somalia.

There are many recommendations; it is essential to

reduce the power of gatekeepers because aid divergence
empowers gatekeepers in Somalia.

One of the successful that I've seen was Funded by

USAID and WFP. I feel happy when I see vulnerable
household's face change when they get assistance, I feel
proud for that project. This project is life saving, it has
no long impact but it is saving lives, when they receive
cash or voucher it has an immediate impact to the
community. Previously they get the assistance many
times but since 2021 the assistance become limited.
