| Summary: | In 2019, with support from the
International Development Association (IDA), the Federal
Government of Somalia established its first national safety
net program, the Baxnaano Program. Despite institutional
challenges, political and economic fragility, the Program is
delivering promising results. This paper discusses the
design and implementation experience of the Baxnaano Program
to (i) understand the opportunities and challenges leading
to the establishment of a national safety net program in a
context of high fragility, insecurity, and protracted
humanitarian relief interventions; (ii) identify if and how
the Program is supporting the vision to transition from
protracted humanitarian response to longer-term safety net
system; and iii) examines if and how the Program is
supporting state-building. |
