JOB ADVERTISEMENTS

Save the Children has a long history of engagement in Somalia and in Somaliland stretching as far back as 1954. In more recent times (since 1992) Save the Children UK has maintained an operational office in Hiran Region in what is now called the Central South Zone of Somalia (CSS). Since 2000, both Save the Children Denmark and Save the Children UK have been working in Somaliland. In 2004, Save the Children UK established an office in Puntland State in response to the Tsunamis and continues to undertake programmes from this office while Save the Children Denmark in Puntland works through partners. In the past two years Save the Children Finland has been financially supporting the work of both Save the Children Denmark and Save the Children UK in Somalia/Somaliland.
As part of the Global Save the Children Alliance ‘Unified Presence’ initiative, Save the Children Denmark, Save the Children Finland and Save the Children UK programmes in Somalia/Somaliland were unified on January 2010. After the unification the three organizations had created one single Save the Children organization in Somalia/Somaliland which has a substantial and effective portfolio of programmes that will promote the rights of children to health, nutrition, livelihoods, protection and education.

SC has been present in Puntland since early 2005 implementing both long and short-term programmes. SC embarked on a livelihood recovery programme in response to the Tsunami funded through the Disasters Emergency Committee in the UK.  The programme covered four sectors, Health, Education, Food Security & Livelihoods and Emergency Preparedness in tsunami affected coastal areas in Hafun and Bender-Bayla districts, Karkar region. The implementation has emphasized community-based process for identifying beneficiaries and monitoring project implementation with the clear intention of moving from recovery to development and strengthening community ownership.

The focus of the immediate post-Tsunami relief phase (2005) was on creating community assets through cash for work and distributing lost assets (boats, nets) in Hafun and Bander Beyla districts. After the immediate relief phase, SC started cash for work projects in other inland areas of Karkaar region, rehabilitating community assets for drought-affected communities.

Currently Save the Children has secured funding from the ECHO to implement emergency health and nutrition projects for IDPs in Bossaso.
