Guidelines for Cash Interventions in Somalia

(download)

Not exactly something we’ve done in the past, as far as I’m aware, but there are some interesting notes in the attachment on both gender and conflict considerations.

Subject: RE: Guidelines for Cash Interventions in Somalia

Dear Colleagues,

Please find attached the Guidelines for Cash Interventions in Somalia developed by Horn Relief with the support of the European Commission.  Horn Relief developed these guidelines as the Chair of the Cash Based Response Working Group, of the Food Security and Economic Development Sectoral Committee, as well upon the request by the IASC Agriculture and Livelihoods Cluster.  These guidelines are the first step in ensuring a minimum standard that will enhance quality in the design and delivery of cash programs in Somalia.  We strongly encourage agencies doing cash based programs to refer to these guidelines and we hope that the donors will also review proposals with these guidelines in hand.  The next steps after these guidelines is to translate these guidelines into Somali and undertake training of partners.  Horn Relief will be conducting two training sessions early next year in Nairobi and Somalia and agencies will be informed in due time. 

We appreciate the support we have received from the European Commission on this project and in developing the capacity of partners in cash programming.

Kind Regards,

Degan Ali Executive Director
