Somalia Post-Distribution Monitoring: Building Pathway Out of Poverty for Ultra-Poor Internally Displaced People and Vulnerable Host Communities in Baidoa

The goal of this project is to strengthen resilience to shocks and stresses for vulnerable IDPs and host community households in Baidoa during the project period (November 1, 2021, to October 31, 2024). The project follows a path that starts off with participant identification and consumption support, both unconditional and conditional, to stabilize ultra-poor households’ food security situation. Savings groups will be established or strengthened at the same time to cultivate the culture of saving. Savings groups will serve as the platform for skills transfer, social cohesion, and transformation, as well as economic inclusion. Income generating capacity will be supported through vocational and financial training and transfer of capital. Throughout the project cycle, participants will be coached on social capital mobilization, financial literacy, and business facilitation.
