Looking Back to Move Forward: Building on Learning from 2011 to Strengthen the 2017 Drought Response in Somalia Learning Report

This report provides a summary of the discussions that took place during a half-day reflection workshop in May 2017. More than 40 people from national and international NGOs, the UN, donors and research organisations came together to consider lessons from the 2011 drought response, reflect on the use of cash transfer programming (CTP) in the current response and agree actions to strengthen existing work.

The half-day workshop was convened by the CALP Network and the Somalia Cash Working Group (CWG). It was co-facilitated by the Centre for Humanitarian Change and the CALP Network. This report documents key discussions and proposed next steps.
