Somalia Cash and Markets Quarterly Dashboard (January - March 2020)
Format
INTRODUCTION
Cash-based interventions have been used by humanitarian organisations in Somalia since 2003.

It was against this backdrop, and as a response to the increasing number of agencies using cash-based interventions to respond to the 2016-2017 drought, that the Somalia Cash Working Group (CWG) started convening in February 2017.
