Safety nets and shock response cash data is not ready, map to be updated once the SN/SR cash data is available.1,577,627 people reached, $24,411,696 million was transferred.Main locations reached overall: Bay, Hiraan, Lower Juba, Mudug and Awdal. Some differences in locations targeted by 3 types of cash (sectoral, SN, MPCA).The food security cluster distributed the most cash followed by MPCA and then shelter/NFI.Use of mobile money at 61% continues to be the most used delivery mechanism followed by vouchers (34%) and then cash in hand (physical cash distribution).Quantitative survey of aid recipients across Somalia (Ground Truth Solutions)Perceptions of aid recipients in SomaliaMethodologyn=1533 respondentsData collected between 7 and 22 September 202017 regions of data collection2 randomly selected districts per regionQuotas for IDPs / host communityFace-to-face data collection by Research Care AfricaStatus & type of assistance received Key findingsOver half fear economic crisis 80% reported that their transfers decreased or stoppedCWG noted that this is inconsistent with 3Ws data on monthly cash transfers in 2020; attendees discussed possible explanations for the inconsistency. CWG is following up with Groundtruth for more informationRespondents reported that remittances are in decline as wellAs CVA declines, needs remain unmetAccess to cash and food are the most pressing unmet needsAbility to meet needs has declined recentlyLoss of jobs and financial support impact ability to meet needs In-kind aid is sold to buy foodRecipients need more information about aidSummaryMost reported experiencing a decrease in CVA transfers, contributing to difficulty to meet basic needsRespondents were asked which types of aid they would be supportive of receiving (they could selct multiple options). Unrestricted cash received the highest support from respondents, although a significant percentage of respondents were supportive of in-kind assistance, despite some needing to sell in-kind aid to meet their needs in cashRecipients do not feel informed of available aid, do not feel their opinions are taken into account. Recipients feeling informed about available aid and feeling their opinions are taken into account correlates positively with their ability to meet needsPlease see meeting presentation for more information.

Many different approaches are used to make the same changes – increases in income, new jobs, new businesses, poor mom’s at clinics, poor kids at school. This diversity is important, but we must learn which is more effective, for whom & in which conditions.For learning to occur & for diversity to add value - performance must be measured against the same benchmarks or goals.How can you help?Help us to achieve all of our social protection goals – all sevenHelp us learn which actions most effectively & efficiently deliver on our goals Keep up the great and constructive collaboration of the CWG!Contact: Stephen McDowell mcdowell.stephen@ and Amina Mohamed Aminamohammmed@CWG Webinars/Workshops FSP Workstream – MNO guidelines workshopsGSMA-funded Altai-Tusmo research is completed with an objective to share best practice amongst humanitarian mobile money actors in Somalia and drive improvement amongst NGOS, MNOs, banks and the Government.3 Validation workshops were held in late November with stakeholders to validate the recommendations.
