Checking Back – Using Cash and Vouchers in Somalia: Recommendations from the 2011-12 Somalia Drought Response

This paper brings together recommendations from some of the key reports and evaluations from the 2011 Somalia drought response.

The process of preparing this paper involved reviewing 17 reports and identifying five that had recommendations which could be useful for all agencies involved the current response. It should be noted that many of the remaining reports have information and guidance which remains very pertinent but either they did not include recommendations per se or the recommendations were agency specific. Further, not all recommendations from all reports are listed as some are no longer seen relevant in the current context.

As plans for the 2017 response are developed, this paper is intended to support discussions and ensure we consider learning from the last response.
