SOCIAL PROTECTION CAPACITY STRENGTHENING TRAININGS TO STAFF OF THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS
This report summarises the discussions during the training on the social protection capacity strengthening training for the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs staff.
Save the Children International (SCI) is implementing the SAGAL Social Transfers Project (2021-2024), which proposes to improve households’ resilience to conflict and climate-related shocks and disasters. The action targets 44,221 households, or 265,326 individuals (and is implemented in and targets 18 districts across 11 regions), focusing on internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and host communities. The project aims to provide cash based social transfers complemented by systems building with the government for the delivery of social protection.
Cash based social transfers will support households to improve food and nutrition, and livelihood security as well as combine interventions with actions to positively transform gender norms and reduce gender barriers, particularly for women. The project also ensures disability mainstreaming by including people with special needs such as people living with disabilities, in line with the UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). The project is implemented by the Somali Cash Consortium (Consortium Management Session), with Concern Worldwide (Concern) as the lead agency and its Implementing Partners (IPs) Save the Children International (SCI), Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), and Danish Refugee Council (DRC). The project is delivered through two approaches:
- he provision cash-based social transfer to support targeted households to reduce
vulnerability and poverty to lessen the impact of shocks and disasters linking humanitarian
and development approaches; and - the provision of support to build systems at the federal, regional and district levels required
for a government-led social protection system.
