Case Study Somalia: Changes to Nutrition Cluster governance and partnership to reflect learning and operational realities in Somalia

Author: Samson Desie with ENN and the GNC
Year: 2015
Resource type: Case study

This case study is one of six case studies produced through a year-long collaboration in 2015 between ENN and the Global Nutrition Cluster (GNC) to capture and disseminate knowledge about the Nutrition Cluster experiences of responding to Level 2 and Level 3 emergencies. They each provide very rich insights into the achievements of the cluster approach and the challenges of working in complex environments.

This case study details the limitations around the rapid expansion of nutrition services in Somalia in response to the 2011-2012 famine and the process undertaken to improve nutrition coordination, governance and service delivery in this complex context. Key learning from this process is identified.
