Cash Based Programming in SomaliaSee the dataset on HDX

The snapshot below represents the cash and vouchers assistance (CVA) reported to the Somalia Cash Working Group and individual clusters for the month of August 2020. The snapshot makes a distinction between CVA supporting sectoral objectives (cash use by different clusters) and assistance covering multiple needs (multi-purpose cash assistance – MPCA). Because data reported to the Clusters is linked to tracking against targets set in the Humanitarian Response Plan, we appreciate that some MPCA might also be reported as sectoral cash, especially to the Food Security Cluster, taking into consideration that the majority of CVA used in Somalia is used to address food insecurity and nutrition crises.

The number of people reached with CVA in August is slightly higher than the number reached in July. Overall, the biggest reach with CVA was in Bay, followed by Lower Juba and closely by Hiraan. Lower Shabelle, Bakool and Sool regions report the lowest reach with CVA, with the main challenge in Lower Shabelle being inaccessibility. Use of sectoral cash was highest in Bay, Hiraan and Awdal with the Food Security cluster reporting the largest use of CVA in its response followed by WASH and Shelter/NFI clusters. People assisted with unconditional transfers and MPCA are those in IPC 3+. For the month of August, although there were MPCA transfers in most of the regions, the largest MPCA was in Lower Juba, Bay, Hiraan and Mudug regions. https://www.fsnau.org/ipc/ipc-map

People assisted

People assisted is the sum of people receiving cash-based assistance across all sectors, in the selected month. It sums the reported number of recipients from all clusters, and includes both cash and vouchers. If a person receives cash-based assistance from more than one sector (for instance, a water voucher and a multi-purpose cash grant), that person will be counted more than once. Hence, there is some potential for double-counting, although this is estimated to be relatively limited.

Value transferred

Value transferred is the sum of the USD value of the cash-based assistance transferred to people in the selected month. It is calculated by multiplying the value transferred to each household multiplied by all assisted households, and summed across agencies and locations.
