Consultancy-Develop a Policy / advocacy brief to share with key humanitarian stakeholders to guide CVA programming in HTR in Somalia

1. Introduction
The Somali Cash Consortium (SCC) is a group of humanitarian organizations working together to provide cash-based transfers to vulnerable households in Somalia. The SCC is led by Concern Worldwide (Concern) as the lead agency and its Implementing Partners (IPs) Save the Children International (SCI), ACTED, COOPI, Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and IMPACT Initiatives. The SCC aims to provide cash transfers to vulnerable households affected by conflict, displacement, and natural disasters in Somalia and implements both short-term humanitarian assistance and long-term social safety net programmes. Cash transfers allow beneficiaries to purchase the items they need most urgently, whether it be food, shelter, or other basic necessities. By providing cash transfers instead of in-kind aid, the SCC aims to empower beneficiaries to make their own choices and support local markets. The SCC also works closely with local partners and community-based organizations to ensure that the cash transfers reach those who need them most. In addition to providing cash transfers, the SCC also conducts assessments and monitoring to ensure that its programmes are effective and meet the needs of beneficiaries.
SCC ECHO HIP 2023
Under HIP 2023, DG ECHO awarded the SCC to implement a 12 months Integrated Implementation of Multipurpose Cash Assistance to Support the Famine Prevention Response and Crisis-Affected Somali Households project. The action has no predefined focus districts, but targets any locations in Somalia based on needs, following the HCT endorsed Integrated Response Framework (IRF).
Through the Integrated Response Framework, under Result 1 of the project, the SCC is proposing to meet the immediate needs of 25,551 vulnerable drought-affected households with 3-month-cycles of Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCT). The action will target newly displaced populations as well as critically underserved people living in Operational Priority Area (OPA) 1, rural and urban areas classified as hard-to-reach or extreme access constraints. The action will also incorporate, under Result 2, the design and completion of studies/research as well as a guidance document/SoP on a number of topics, including: 1) on minorities targeting in CVA, 2) on the role of gate keepers in CVA programming in Somalia, 3) an update of Hard to Reach learning brief prepared in 2022 and 4) a guidance on nexus programming with shock responsive cash based assistance (CVA and social transfers).
Further, the action will build synergies and coordinate with other resilience and durable solutions programmes, and aims to integrate with other sectoral responses, particularly health, nutrition, WASH and protection.
2. Description/Justification of the study
Populations impacted by the drought migrate to urban and peri-urban areas where they can receive relief because humanitarian organizations are unable to reach hard to reach areas (mostly rural) due to access limitations. Urban migration puts pressure on IDP communities that are already crowded, which leads to the creation of new settlements. There is a limited chance to reach populations affected by the drought in rural areas where they can stay, cultivate land, and accumulate assets. In 2022, the pilot project run by SCC, aimed to deliver assistance to populations on the edge of starvation in hard-to-reach (and inaccessible) areas.
Thus, this study aims to develop a policy / advocacy brief to share with key humanitarian stakeholders to guide CVA programming in HTR and more specifically, to understand the most effective and efficient ways to deliver CVA in HTR areas and reach out to the most vulnerable people.
