Somalia Monitoring Programme Phase 3
UK - Foreign, Commonwealth Development Office (FCDO)
Somalia Monitoring Programme Phase 3 aims to generate and promote use of better evidence and statistics to define, deliver and adjust FCDO programmes in Somalia. It is designed to ensure that British Embassy Mogadishu (BEM), Somali officials and the international community have access to the evidence and statistics needed to ensure programmes and policies are targeted, effective and adaptive; and that risks are identified and managed. SMP 3 involves two key components: the first is Third-Party Monitoring and Learning (TPML) of UK (FCDO) programming in the field, to ensure that our activities deliver expected outcomes, and Campaign Goals in the Somalia Country Plan. The second is support to the Somali National Statistics System to collect, analyse, and use key data enabling the authorities to better target policies and systems that deliver development outcomes.

The programme will invest in early warning systems, strengthening access to climate data to detect deteriorating conditions earlier on, and it will build people’s resilience by helping them to increase and diversify their household income so they can better cope when shocks occur.

ODA flows alone will not meet the needs of developing countries, and new sources of private investment will be essential if the SDGs are to be met by 2030. The programme will work with UK-based financial service providers and providers across FCDO priority countries and more widely, working to help mobilise more capital to reach the hardest places, and where the needs are greatest.

K4DD will both complement and supplement FCDO’s in-house expertise and capacity, and service unmet demand, such as in geographies not covered by embedded expertise including advisers.
