Cash-For-Work in Somalia: Linking relief to recovery

February 2012 — By Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations

In complex emergency situations such as that in Somalia, marred by violence, destitution and famine, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has managed to implement a large cash-for-work (CFW) programme. The programme provides emergency relief while building the base for future recovery. This concept note aims at gathering lessons learned from FAO – Somalia’s experience in designing and implementing a CFW programme.
