Development Pathways: Targeting Evaluation of the Somalia Shock-Responsive Safety Net for Human Capital Project (SNHCP)
Development Pathways: Targeting Evaluation of the Somalia Shock-Responsive Safety Net for Human Capital Project (SNHCP)

January 2023

Samuel Hall, in partnership with Development Pathways, conducted a targeting evaluation of the Shock-responsive Safety Net for Human Capital Project (SNHCP) for the World Bank and the Somali Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA). The team assessed one major component of the SNHCP, which is to provide nutrition-linked unconditional cash transfers to vulnerable households in all states in Somalia and Somaliland.

The findings confirm that despite being implemented in an extremely challenging environment, the SNHCP cash transfer programme has successfully reached many vulnerable and poor households. Moving forward, by learning from the targeting errors identified, this programme provides important learning points for similar cash transfer programmes in the future.

HALO Trust – An Independent Evaluation of the HALO Trust 2016-2020 Mine Action Programmes Funded by the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs

February 2021

Between 2016 and 2020, the HALO Trust conducted mine action across eight projects: Afghanistan, Colombia, Kosovo, the West Bank (Palestinian Territories), Somalia, Somaliland, Syria, Ukraine and Yemen. With over 16m USD in funding from the Dutch MFA, HALO conducted landmine/ERW clearance, explosive ordnance risk education (EORE), and victim assistance (VA), in order to prevent injuries and death, return land to local communities and increase people's resilience. This independent evaluation assessed the performance of the global programme along OECD-DAC criteria of relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, impact and sustainability. It found the programme largely succeeded along these criteria.
