    Cluster evaluation of projects on protecting, improving, and sustaining food security in rural Somalia
    Project codes: OSRO/SOM/908/USA - OSRO/SOM/007/USA

    Between 2019 and 2021 FAO implemented two large projects aimed to protect, improve and sustain rural food security in Somalia. Key activities included Food Security Cluster Coordination, cash transfers (including Cash+, cash for work, and Long-Term Cash and Livelihoods), contagious caprine pleuropneumonia vaccination, fall armyworm pest control, field schools and improving agricultural production in the Bay region. The cluster evaluation covered all project activities, specifically focusing on the cash transfers. The evaluation aimed to provide accountability for results achieved and importantly, capture lessons learned. Overall, FAO Somalia delivered a good at-scale cash programme in a very difficult operating environment. Significant attention needs to be paid to chronic issues such as delays in time-critical inputs, linkages with resilience activities, centralized programme design, an inhibiting “service provider” partnership model and IT systems that need to be strengthened to provide necessary information on reporting, traceability, trend and anomaly detection.

    Somalia Famine Prevention Scale-up Plan: May 2022 – June 2023 2022

    FAO’s scaled-up Famine Prevention Plan seeks to reach extremely vulnerable rural communities in areas at high risk of famine to avert further catastrophe and stem the rapidly rising numbers of persons displaced due to the prolonged drought. Deaths due to hunger, malnutrition and related diseases are on the rise. If emergency cash and livelihood assistance are not provided in a timely manner, many more Somalis in rural areas will face destitution, displacement and famine in the coming months. Immediate and sustained intervention at scale is required to save lives and livelihoods.
