Project overview
The main aim of this project is to support displaced persons in urban areas that are particularly vulnerable to the mounting socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 like declines in external remittance flows into Somalia and declines in economic activities in urban areas. WFP will use the $2.3 million from CERF to provide a package of three unconditional cash transfers (worth $105 per household) to support 77,762 internally displaced persons and 12,676 individuals in their host communities in the Banadir district.
