Background

Organizational Context

Somalia provides a unique challenge in aid coordination. The country requires the concurrent and continual delivery of a complex mix of relief, recovery, and development interventions in a deeply insecure and unpredictable operating environment. Despite historical instability, the UN and World Bank undertook the Somali Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) as a step towards the achievement of peace, security, recovery and development. The output of the JNA process was the Reconstruction and Development Framework (RDF) which lays out the priorities of Somalis to be achieved between 2008 and 2012.

In response to the RDP, the UN Country Team (UNCT) produced a joint UN Transition Plan for Somalia (UNTP) from 2008-2010 which set out what the UN aimed to achieve. Following on from this a UN Assistance Strategy for 2010-2015 has been developed. The UNCT is anticipating increased harmonization of programming with clearer distribution of labor among agencies in support of this, followed by initiatives of joint programming and cost-shared services, which will further explore synergies and increase efficiency.

Since no single agency has the range of funds, skills, knowledge, and experience to tackle the multi-dimensional causes of poverty; a strong planning and coordination capacity, especially for the strategic analysis and results-based planning needed to integrate the UN’s operational response to transition challenges, is required. An integrated approach will increase the impact of the UN System on poverty reduction and reduce the transaction costs of the national authorities and other key stakeholders (who include: National and local authorities, UN Resident/Humanitarian Coordinator, UN agencies, staff of IASC members at headquarters and in the field, the international financial institutions, representatives of donor countries/organizations, non-governmental organization representatives and other members of the humanitarian community, senior members of the government at national and provincial levels, civil society, church groups, civilian and military authorities, traditional leaders and other key actors, especially in conflict areas, local and international press, visiting political, donor and humanitarian missions); strengthen national capacity for managing development assistance; and increase recognition by national authorities and other partners, of the strength of the UN System when it works as a coherent whole.
