1. Introduction
This document lays out the integrated approach to allocating funds from the Central Emergency
Response Fund (CERF) Rapid Response window for Somalia (CERF-2019-RR, US$12 million) and
the Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF) 2019 First Standard Allocation (SHF-2019-SA1, $33.7 million)
in response to the persistent malnutrition and food insecurity conditions in the northern, central and
parts of southern Somalia.
2. Humanitarian Context
Despite improvements in the overall humanitarian situation significant needs persist in parts of Somalia.
An estimated 2.6 million people remain internally displaced, either in rural areas or in informal
settlements surrounding urban areas. Results from the 2018 Post-Deyr (October-December) seasonal
Food Security and Nutrition Assessment indicate that 4.9 million Somalis, an increase from 4.6 million
half a year ago, face acute food insecurity and will require humanitarian assistance and protection
through mid-2019. Among these are 1.5 million people whose conditions are expected to deteriorate
from Stressed (IPC Phase 2) to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse between February and June due to the
impact of below-average 2018 Deyr seasonal rainfall (October to December) compounded by the
lingering effects of destitution and displacement from the 2016/2017 drought.1 In addition, 903,100
children under the age of five years will likely face acute malnutrition in 2019, including 138,200 who
are likely to be severely malnourished.
While the impacts of poor Deyr rainfall in some areas has been somewhat moderated by large scale
sustained food assistance and carryover stocks from the above-average 2017 Gu season that resulted in
average to above-average crop harvests and improved milk availability, many living in the northern and
central agropastoral and pastoral livelihoods zones are grappling with deteriorating conditions, water
scarcity and dwindling milk supplies. Milk production was largely average to below average during the
Deyr season with herd sizes projected to be below baseline by June 2019. Many of these areas received
little (less than 25 mm), poorly distributed or no rainfall. The water scarcity has already triggered earlier-
than-normal water trucking. These conditions are expected to worsen during the dry Jilaal (January-March)
season. The poor November Gu/Karan cereal production harvest of 11,000 tonnes, 76 per cent lower that

the 2011-2017 average in the North West Agropastoral livelihood zones, further reflects the poor and erratic
rainfall, pest infestation and bird attacks.
IDPs and poor rural households are particularly vulnerable, struggling to feed their families with diminished
income. Due to large herd losses during the extended 2016/2017 drought, these families have few saleable
livestock and are barely able to purchase water for the remaining animals. It has been especially hard on
women who are the primary keepers of small ruminants. Less mobile pastoralists are highly vulnerable,
such as women, children, elderly, disabled people or others who cannot afford to transport their animals
where pasture and water are available. The long family separations also heighten protection risks for girls,
women and children. Without humanitarian assistance, the expected improvements in food security with
the next Gu (April-June) rains will be overshadowed by their deterioration to Crisis and Emergency
(IPC Phases 3 and 4) in the interim. Especially affected are parts of Awdal and Woqooyi Galbeed
regions in the Guban Pastoral livelihood zone. These areas have consistently been in Crisis or
Emergency for the past eight seasons since 2015 demonstrating high levels of vulnerability and erosion
of coping capacities due to the protracted crisis despite significant humanitarian assistance.
Regions projected to deteriorate from Stressed to Crisis include parts of Bari and Sanaag in the north-
eastern Northern Inland Pastoral (NIP) livelihood zone, East Golis Pastoral of Sanaag, parts of Togdheer
in north-western Hawd Pastoral, and parts of Galgaduud and Mudug regions in central Addun Pastoral
zones2. While these areas were in Emergency in January 2018, massive humanitarian assistance and
favourable Gu rains significantly improved browse and water conditions leading to improvements in
food security. However, these improvements are tenuous without significant humanitarian assistance
as the just ended Deyr season was below average. Overall, almost half of the people in Crisis and
Emergency reside in Somalia and Puntland3 and require humanitarian assistance to reduce food
consumption gaps and save livelihoods (see Map 1 in the annex) until the onset of the Gu rains when
conditions improve.
Modest improvements in the nutrition status among some rural populations (and internally displaced
persons (IDP) (Addun pastoral and Galkaacyo IDPs in the north east, Burau IDPs in the north east and
Dhusamareeb and Kismayo IDPs in south central) have been recorded since Deyr 2017 due to
improvements in food security, reduction in disease outbreaks and sustained humanitarian assistance.
Although the national prevalence of Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) has remained Serious (10-14%)
over the past three seasons, the 2018 post Deyr season nutrition results indicate that the level of acute
malnutrition is Critical (GAM 15-29%) in six out of 34 populations surveyed4 due to food insecurity, high
morbidity, low immunization and Vitamin-A supplementation, and poor care practices. Notably, morbidity
was high (> 20%) in more than half of the groups assessed including these six. Of specific concern are
groups whose nutrition status has deteriorated from Serious to Critical in the past year (since 2017 Deyr)
and projected to remain so until April (see map 2 in the annex). These include groups in parts of the East
Golis Livelihood Zones, Guban Pastoral and NIP livelihoods in Bari, Sanaag and Sool. Worryingly, these
groups also face deterioration in food security to Crisis levels through June if no assistance is provided and
are among hotspots that urgently require nutrition and health interventions particularly targeting children
under the age of five and pregnant and lactating women. Others are Baidoa, Mogadishu and Qardho IDPs,

Beletweyne district in the Southern Agropastoral, Ceel Barde district in Bakool, and the Sorghum high
Potential Agropastoral zones of Bay and Shabelle regions.
Throughout 2018 the tension between Somaliland and Puntland over the contested Sool and Sanaag regions
have been on the rise, with occasional clashes, following Somaliland’s seizure of Tukaraq village in Sool
region, which was previously controlled by Puntland. This led to displacement of more than 1,000
households to nearby locations. According to reports including those from Puntland’s Humanitarian Affairs
and Disaster Management Agency (HADMA), the situation remains tense and hostilities could resume
anytime, which could create more displacements and insecurity in the area hence increasing the likelihood
of further population movement to areas where aid is being delivered.
3. Strategic focus and the scope of the integrated CERF-SHF approach
The deleterious effects of underperforming rains are impacting the parts of population that is still trying to
recover from the effects an extended drought in northern and central Somalia. The deteriorating food
security outlook, combine with the worsening malnutrition calls for a rapid and well-targeted scale up of
response to both, save lives and support recovery. Holistic interventions must aim to reduce food
consumption gaps, provide nutrition support and treatment, address high morbidity and acute water
shortages.
The integrated CERF and SHF-funded interventions will focus on the areas where food security and
malnutrition situation are projected to deteriorate during the ongoing Jilaal dry season, focusing particularly
on northern and central Somalia, but also targeted pockets in the south.
CERF funding, in particular, will be targeting the most critical areas in the north, where the severely food
insecure population is at the highest risk of sliding from Crisis (IPC3) to Emergency (IPC4), i.e. food
security focused-component, in parts of Awdal and Woqooyi Galbeed region; as well those areas, some
of which are conflict affected, and vulnerable groups whose nutritional status has deteriorated from Serious
to Critical in the past year (since 2017 Deyr), i.e. nutrition-focused component with supporting health
and WASH interventions in Sool, Sanaag and parts of Bari regions. While Northern regions have
previously been targeted by CERF, disparities exist in the coverage and focus both in terms of regions and
the twin focus where the worst affected and most vulnerable will be targeted. Coverage in 2016 and 2017
by CERF was wider due to the threat of famine that engulfed most the whole of North Somalia.
While all interventions have protection aspects mainstreamed, attention to special groups are embedded in
proposed activities and outlined in the activity table and elaborated below:
i) Food security: To reduce food consumption gaps, unconditional cash transfers will boost access to food
among poor households in urban centres meeting cluster vulnerability criteria that includes single
headed households, the disabled, and the elderly. In addition, the Cash + intervention livelihoods
package primarily targets women, children, elders and others who stay behind during migration periods
(when men and boys move with most of a family’s herd for pasture, water or trade). Both interventions
reduce the distances walked to seek pasture and food thereby reducing protection-based risks as families
stay together.

ii) Nutrition: Ensuring adequate nutrition support for pregnant and lactating women (PLW) will not only
mitigate poor nutrition outcomes for children but will also preserve maternal health by contributing to
lower maternal morbidity (incidence of illness) and mortality. Planned interventions in nutrition under
this allocation target integrated treatment for both moderately and severely acute malnourished women
and children.
iii) Health: Common illnesses are an important cause of low dietary intake and are therefore particularly
harmful in malnourished children and PLWs. To support nutrition recovery, health interventions will
ensure the provision of emergency primary health care including immunization and reproductive health
care integrated with nutrition services at both static facilities and through outreach where there are none
to address high morbidity associated with malnutrition.
SHF funding will complement CERF interventions in the north through funding complementary
interventions of other clusters in the CERF-focused areas, but also expand nutrition and food security
focused interventions in central and southern parts of Somalia with integrated and cluster-specific
interventions to prevent further deterioration of the situation. North-based SHF interventions in Education
(including integrated with child protection)5, Protection, and Shelter will particularly strengthen the
protective environment for children and women against family separation and physical and sexual violence.
CCCM is also strongly geared towards ensuring inclusivity of vulnerable groups in accessing services.

While a combined $46 million from CERF and SHF will provide much needed support to the current
response efforts by humanitarian actors, it is critical that other resources are secured to boost immediate
response capacity and prevent further loss of lives and livelihoods.
The core elements of the integrated approach are:
Targeted focus on communities affected by deteriorating nutrition of GAM>15%;
Food insecurity and significantly below-average or between 25-50% below normal rainfall during
the 2018 Deyr rains;
Centrality of protection across all clusters, in line with the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP);
Focus on immediate life-saving time-critical interventions;
Focus is on rapid response, enabling the most urgent scaling up of essential humanitarian activities
by April/May, before the Gu rains;
Integrated approach options used when and where possible;
Complementarity of funding mechanisms by using CERF and SHF jointly to ensure the best value-
for-money and attract other resources.

4. Ensuring complementarity and the best value-for-money
The integrated approach to the two allocations (CERF and SHF) will ensure the complementary use of
limited funds channelled through both pooled funds by:
Ensuring that the most immediate needs are addressed by funding the top priority activities in the
most affected areas.
Taking into consideration other funding sources and reprogrammed activities.
SHF-2019-SA1 | CERF RR Somalia | March – April 2019

Ensuring timely response through an integrated and simultaneous strategic prioritization of CERF
and SHF, which shortens the time required to identify priority activities and implementation areas.
Ensure value-for-money through decreasing overheads and costs of subcontracting.
Ensuring the use of accountability measures available to the two funding mechanisms.
Taking advantage of the joint strategic prioritization processes within the ICCG and HCT, the strategy
provides a comprehensive response for north and central parts of Somalia, while also (through SHF-funded
components) focusing on targeted areas of concern in the south.
To determine what portion of the integrated response will be covered from which source, the comparative
advantages of each mechanism will be taken into consideration:
CERF: Only UN agencies can be the direct recipient of CERF funds. It is suggested that CERF RR
funds are used primarily to cover UN direct operational costs; procurement of bulk supplies for
life-saving response that may then be channelled through SHF-funded and other partners in order
to benefit from the economies of scale; and, logistical support. The primary responsibility to ensure
the accountable and efficient use of CERF funds will remain with the recipients of funds. CERF
RR project proposals will focus on life-saving activities.
SHF: Funds can be channelled to selected eligible local and international NGOs with strong
presence and on-going activities in the targeted hot spots. SHF allocation will prioritize channelling
funds directly to the non-governmental implementing partners to ensure the best value-for-money.
While the primary responsibility to ensure the accountable and efficient use of SHF remains with
the implementing partners, SHF will maintain the oversight through the application of its
accountability tools.

6. Guidance on the allocation process
The Integrated Approach has been reconciled within the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG). It has been
presented to the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) and the SHF Advisory Board (AB). The entities are requested to
endorse the Integrated approach and the cluster envelopes.
The CERF portion of the Integrated Approach has been submitted to the CERF secretariat on 21 February and
endorsement by the Emergency Relief Coordinator was received on 2 March 2019. UN agencies will proceed with the
drafting and submission of the CERF funded projects to through OCHA Somalia and clusters by 14 March 2019.
Once endorsed by the SHF AB, the Integrated Approach will be circulated through the respective clusters to invite
cluster partners to submit project proposals.
SHF eligible partners will be selected based upon their capacity to absorb the allocated funds, respond promptly in the
priority areas and work closely with cluster coordinators and other partners during the project cycle.
The Standard Allocation modality will be applied (detailed procedural guidance from the SHF is incorporated as an
annex to this Integrated Approach document).

7. Process overview and timeline (see also Annex 1: SHF Process Guidelines)
The existing humanitarian conditions in Somalia demands rapid and decisive decision-making and continuation of life-
saving response. This will entail strong commitment and enhanced efforts from all stakeholders to step up the timelines
and expedite the process leading to life-saving response that will be supported through this integrated approach. In
particular:
For CERF
The HC, UN agencies and cluster coordinators will attempt to submit the CERF application and project
proposals on or ahead of the 14 March deadline;
UN agencies will attempt to submit project proposals by the suggested deadline, for OCHA’s review and
consolidation. The consolidated package will be submitted to CERF on 14 March.
For SHF
Stakeholders within the SHF allocation process (OCHA/HFU, cluster coordinators, partners) will attempt to
expedite the allocation process to the extent possible and ensure maximum possible responsiveness.
During the strategic prioritization process, cluster coordinators are strongly encouraged to consult and take
into consideration inputs from relevant authorities while upholding the underlying humanitarian principles of
independence, neutrality and impartiality.
Selection of individual interventions and partners will be conducted by inter/cluster Strategic Review
Committees (whose composition may be cross-cluster, depending on projects submitted), assessing the
proposed interventions by the SHF eligible partner (list of 8 March 2019), strictly against the present allocation
strategy and the pre-defined SHF score card.
Non-governmental organisations should be prioritized for the allocation round. If, when and where feasible,
local and national partners should be supported. For detailed information on the allocation process see Annex
1 of this strategy (SHF Process Guidelines).
Target area: The interventions should focus on specific and defined areas. Proposals outside of the defined
geographic and substantive scope will not be considered for strategic review.
Direct implementation is prioritized. Sub-contracting is admissible in exceptional cases only when clear added
value is demonstrated.

8. Humanitarian response, resilience and recovery
Humanitarian needs in Somalia are largely driven by conflict, climatic shocks and underlying factors such as weak
governance and limited access to basic services. While climate-related drivers of needs call for scaling up of household
and infrastructure resilience approaches that are consistent with development programming, political instability and
insecurity hinder adequate investments in resilience and development in many parts of the country.
This presents a challenge for humanitarian partners that are, due to their operational presence, often expected and
requested to address issues that go beyond their immediate mandate and overstretch the limited resources available for
life-saving humanitarian action.
What is highlighted below are some systemic measures that are aimed at reducing reliance of communities and partners
on humanitarian funding, including CERF and the SHF, when it comes to addressing the recurrent humanitarian
drivers, including drought. However, it is important to note that the recurrent drought – in the North and other parts of
the country – is just one of the factors driving humanitarian needs in the target areas and the proposed CERF and SHF
interventions differ, in geographic and thematic scope, from those in previous years (see highlighted above under 3.
Strategic scope).
(a) More focused HRP focus and the enhanced role of resilience
In 2019, the Somalia Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) has addressed this challenge through applying a more focused
definition of humanitarian needs, based on specific vulnerability criteria approach.
That is an important step towards recognizing the limits of humanitarian response and, at the same time, seek
opportunities to link it with longer-term solutions. With a more targeted approach by humanitarians, the
complementarity between humanitarian and development assistance becomes more important than ever.
One recognition of that is the inclusion of resilience as one of the four strategic priorities in the 2019 HRP, with the
objective to increase resilience capacity of at-risk communities and promote complementary interventions of
development partners in social services. While the emphasis of the 2019 Somalia HRP remains life-saving assistance,
it will also focus on resilience-building at the community level with short-term interventions aimed at preventing a
deterioration of their situation and higher severity of needs, where and when possible.
(b) Establishing linkages through planning, prioritization and resource allocation
To reduce humanitarian needs, risks and vulnerabilities in the medium to longer term, synergies and complementarities
with development, recovery and resilience initiatives, such as the United Nations Strategic Framework (UNSF), the
26 - 31 March Strategic Review Committees: strategic review and project
selection/IPs to be funded (SRC/HFU)

Resilience and Recovery Framework (RRF) and the National Development Plan (NDP) have been further advanced to
the extent possible.
The Federal Government of Somalia has been playing a lead role in the development of the 2019-2021 RRF, which
presents a holistic, systematic approach to the recovery and resilience building processes in Somalia. Similarly, at the
end of 2017, humanitarian and development partners proposed four collective outcomes to reduce needs, risks and
vulnerabilities and increase resilience by 2022. Therefore, concerted efforts have been made to provide a road map
towards increasing resilience and durable solutions.
Another precondition to operationalizing the nexus is strengthened recovery and development coordination, which has
also been identified as one of the shortcomings in the areas to be prioritized for CERF funds during the December 2018
inter-agency mission to the North. The mission recommended that the current area-based coordination structure in the
North to strengthen UN leadership in support of development-humanitarian nexus is reviewed – to support and
strengthen information sharing, lead towards the consolidation of planning, and boost the mobilization of resources for
longer-term interventions.
Combined, these efforts are essential to contribute towards the consolidation of needs overviews in Somalia and to
attract enough resources, particularly from development actors and donors.
(c) Sustainable programming
In line with the New Way of Working, humanitarian partners continue to reach out to development and resilience
actors, donor and the government to address the underlying causes of humanitarian needs by adjusting their
programming towards sustainable and more cost-efficient solutions.
Despite the danger to overstretch the available humanitarian resources – and CERF and the SHF, as the focused
humanitarian funding mechanisms, are not immune to this –, the opportunities exist to adjust the funded response and
gear it towards greater sustainability. For example, in areas where humanitarians are responding to severe water
shortages, such as Baidoa in South West State, development partners have drilled boreholes; another example of the
SHF supporting sustainable programming, to promote longer-term solutions through to drill and equip strategic
boreholes.
An important additional component of complementarity of the two-funds, but also other funding sources, is the SHF
flexibility to support recovery also through stimulating partners to opt for interventions that have durable solutions,
sustainability and recovery components. Clusters, agencies and partners are increasingly encouraged to, by default,
consider sustainable solutions in their programming when and where possible. For example, through 2018 in Sool and
Sanaag part of the SHF funding was used to drill and equip strategic boreholes, which not only contributed towards
sustainable access to safe water, but also ensured cost effectiveness compared to water trucking. Clusters and agencies
will be encouraged to take a proactive role in guiding their implementing partners on how similar solutions can be
prioritized, including through the complementary use of two funds.

Annex 1: SHF Process Guidelines
1. Project submission and prioritisation
Following the AB and HC’s endorsement of the strategy, call for proposals will be issued. The call will be posted
on the SHF website and disseminated through cluster mailing lists.
Partners that feature on the SHF eligibility list (11 March 2019) will be selected based on the strategic relevance
of their proposed interventions, their technical capacity and capacity to absorb the allocated funds, the ability to
respond promptly in the priority areas and work closely with cluster coordinators and other partners during the
project cycle. Priority may be given to IPs that did not have projects selected during the 2nd 2018 Standard
Allocation.
Full project proposals will be developed and uploaded into the Grant Management System (GMS) by the
implementing partners that seek funding (via https://chfsomalia.unocha.org). To access the GMS, partners are
required to log in to the Humanitarian ID. Please find useful materials for GMS - Humanitarian ID authentication
mechanism via https://gms-blog.unocha.org/gms-humanitarian-id-launch.
The review committees should, as they are performing their strategic and technical review, advise whether the
request is valid, and funding should be granted. Requests recommended for approval are subject to technical
review by OCHA and final clearance by the HC.
Programming must reflect the distinct needs of men, women, boys and girls during the implementation period.
As gender issues are manifested in different ways for each cluster, an overarching gender-sensitive approach
will be ensured through prioritizing proposals that highlight their strategy towards overcoming obstacles that
prevent vulnerable groups from receiving access to lifesaving services. A major focus will be placed on
supporting female-headed households, as well as pregnant and lactating women who are particularly vulnerable
from health- and nutrition-related risks. Children between the ages of six months and five years will also be a
programming priority, as they face significant risks from malnutrition-related health complications.
Projects across all cluster should demonstrate acute attention to protection in their activities. At minimum,
projects should include:
o Concrete plans/processes to ensure the inclusive participation of communities throughout the project
cycle. The participation of women, as well as people with disability should be promoted. Projects should
describe concretely how the participation of these groups will be ensured.
o Attention to minimize risks of GBV in the design of the projects. Projects should discuss the possible
risks of GBV against women and girls and describe concretely how the project will ensure the protection
beneficiaries and other in the communities against these risks. Partners are encouraged to document
their achievements through protection-oriented indicators (refer to the examples annexed to this
document).
o Partners are also encouraged to consult the Somalia protection mainstreaming tip-sheet.
The inclusion of all communities in need in the projects. Although in the same situations of needs as other
groups, certain communities, in situation of social marginalization in areas targeted, are at serious risks of being
excluded from the assistance/services provided by the projects. Partners should explain what measures will be
taken to reach out to these communities and ensure their equal access to information on the assistance/services
provided, and effective equal access. The use of mobile services, adequate information dissemination, advocacy,
and other creative measures to ensure the inclusion of marginalized communities, should be encouraged and
described in projects.
Organisations that have an ongoing SHF project and apply for the same activities under this allocation should
clearly indicate how the new funding will complement the previous SHF project. The decision on funding will
be subject to the value of the currently ongoing IP projects, the number of on-going projects while taking into
SHF-2019-SA1 | CERF RR Somalia | March – April 2019
16
consideration the SHF-assigned risk levels and the relevant thresholds.
Partners can only submit one proposal per package/cluster; and maximum three proposals per allocation round.
Maximum two proposals by a single partner can be selected per allocation round.
All projects must address life-saving needs. The proposals must be backed by credible data to demonstrate the
severity of needs and activities must be interconnected across clusters.
Implementing partners must be eligible to receive SHF funding, present in the locations targeted in this
allocation round (as reflected in the 3Ws) and have the capacity to immediately execute activities in the selected
locations.
Projects should be implemented within 12 months and should not have a budget of less than $250,000, with
larger project budgets strongly encouraged. In exceptional cases and subject to a strong justification, the HC
may approve projects longer than 12 months. For the projects longer than 12 months, the SHF will not cover
full management components, but only cover on specific programmatic activities beyond 12 months
(maintenance, monitoring, community participation etc.).
Non-governmental organisations should be prioritized for the allocation round. If, when and where feasible,
local and national partners should be supported.
Clusters should prioritize the selection of non-governmental partners directly responsible for the
implementation of projects. Sub-granting is admissible in exceptional cases only and needs to be clearly
demonstrated and budgeted for. Partners that are eligible to receive direct SHF funding cannot be sub-grantees
of the SHF recipients.
While the primary responsibility to ensure the accountable and efficient use of SHF remains with the
implementing partners, the SHF will maintain the oversight through the strict application of its accountability
tools.
2. Review of projects
Project proposals will undergo a ‘strategic’ and a ‘technical’ review, using the Grant Management System
(GMS).
For the strategic review, Strategic Review Committees (SRCs) will be convened (with multi-cluster
composition for integrated projects). SRCs are a central mechanism to ensure that the SHF review process is
strategic, fair, transparent and efficient. Clusters are requested to communicate the composition of SRCs in
advance for preparatory activities to take place ahead of the review. Partners that have had their SHF eligibility
temporarily or permanently suspended cannot serve on the SRC for the SHF-2019-SA1.
During the Technical Review (technical experts from the relevant cluster and HFU staff), further attention is
paid to the following:
o The technical soundness/quality of the proposal;
o The financial efficiency of the project;
o The coherence between the narrative, work-plan, log-frame and budget;
o The complementarity and consistency of projects across sectors, seeking to build synergies with other
sectors.
The selection of partners and projects through SRCs should be conducted with the help of pre-defined score-
cards. Selected interventions should demonstrate (i) strategic relevance; (ii) programmatic relevance; and (iii)
cost effectiveness / value for money. Integrated response envelope submissions will also be assessed against
(iv) integration. Score-cards should be recorded in the GMS by clusters to ensure transparency and
accountability of the allocation process.
The detailed guidance on the work of the SRC/TRCs is provided in the SHF Operational Manual, section 3.3.1
Strategic and Technical Review Committees, particularly paragraphs 29-33.
To ensure timely allocation and disbursement of funds, only three technical revision rounds will be allowed for
SHF-2019-SA1 | CERF RR Somalia | March – April 2019
17
selected proposals. The partners are required to respond to comments and perform adjustments within the time
set at the time of review (usually within 48 hours) and, in case of lack of clarity, be in direct touch with OCHA
Somalia HFU (see contact details below) and/or cluster coordinators. Projects that fail to reach the required
level of quality after three rounds of revision may not be funded, and the funding earmarked for the
project may be relocated to other priorities, projects or clusters.
3. Budgeting and finance
Projects that can demonstrate ‘value for money’ relative to the project budget should be prioritized. Factors to
consider include maximum reach and impact for given cost, outcome and beneficiary reach for each dollar
invested, cost effectiveness of the intervention including, minimizing support and overhead costs.
Projects that can demonstrate low indirect costs as a proportion of direct costs should be ranked favourably. See
SHF Operational Manual, Annex 2 – Budget Guidance (a); and Budget guidance preparation note (b).
To reduce overhead costs, pass-through arrangements where organisations simply pass on funding to their
implementing partner organisation without providing any meaningful guidance, coordination, capacity building,
technical advice, monitoring and evaluation capacities or any other function of additional value will not be
funded. Partners that are eligible to receive direct SHF funding cannot be sub-grantees of the SHF recipients.
Partners with submissions across different clusters should ensure that common costs (administrative and
operational) are rationalised.
Partners should adhere to the Country-Based Pooled Funds / SHF basic definitions and guidance including on
project budget preparation, use of budget narrative and itemized budgetary breakdowns (see SHF Operational
Manual and its annexes).
