A concept note based on FAO’s experience in running a cash-for-work programme during the humanitarian crises in August–October 2011
In complex emergency situations such as that in Somalia, marred by violence, destitution and famine, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has managed to implement a large cash-for-work (CFW) programme. The programme provides emergency relief while building the base for future recovery. This concept note aims at gathering lessons learned from FAO - Somalia’s experience in designing and implementing a CFW programme.
