Mapping of sectoral/ cluster cash, safety nets/shock responsive safety nets and MPCA cash is visualised https://data.humdata.org/visualization/somalia-cash-programing-v4/ on a monthly basis. The mapping provides a good overview of scale (amount of cash programming in each region) and gives a sense of coverage (assistance vs. need people in IPC 3-4).
Supported by the GSMA M4H programme, the CWG, developed:
i) A set of six guidance documents on the use of mobile services in humanitarian programming in Somalia and
ii) A regulatory and policy analysis brief, which explains the regulatory and policy ecosystem around mobile money and cash transfers and recommendations to build on the current ecosystem.
A self-assessment toolkit was also developed to help track progress on the implementation of key recommendations.
