Conflict and insecurity present significant challenges to delivering aid, working with local partners, and the monitoring and evaluation of results. Validating results and conducting risk management actions are difficult but necessary for DFID and the international community as a whole to ensure aid is spent and delivered in the most effective manner; as such DFID needs a better assessment and analysis of the humanitarian situation and the priority of humanitarian needs.
Delta Partnership undertook the development of a business case for DFID setting out the strategic case for a new programme in Somalia. This was aimed at strengthening aid coordination for Somalia, strengthening the leadership to achieve this, and enabling better humanitarian analysis and coordination. In addition, the long-term goals of this business case are to encourage better result and risk management. The new business case aims to further strengthen the areas above, providing continuity of funding, and increase the scope of activities, in liaison with other like-minded donors increasing the evidence that these investments can have a transformative impact on improving aid coordination.
