Introduction

Save the Children has a long history of engagement in Somalia stretching as far back as 1954. In more recent times (since 1992) Save the Children UK has maintained an operational office in Hiran Region in what is now called as the Central South Zone of Somalia and since 2000, both Save the Children Denmark and UK have been working in what is now the self proclaimed republic of Somaliland.

In response to the Tsunami that hit the coast of Puntland in 2004 Save the Children UK established an office in Puntland State and continued to undertake programmes from this office while Save the Children Denmark in Puntland worked through partners. In the past two years Save the Children Finland has been supporting both Save the Children Denmark and UK with funding.

The programmes previously being run or supported separately by Save the Children Denmark, Finland and United Kingdom have followed the global initiative of the Save the Children Alliance and unified as from January 2010 with Save the Children UK as the managing member.

This had increased significantly the work carried out in Somalia/Somaliland led to a much larger and complex single programme.

The security situation in CSS remains extremely serious while in Puntland, although there is no open conflict, criminal incidents, and in particular kidnapping, present a major threat to international staff. Currently rural areas of Puntland remain off-limits to senior international staff and this poses some challenges in providing supervision and monitoring field activities.

However the major towns of Puntland have been recently opened up to travel by international staff. Security in Somaliland has remained relatively good. Presidential elections have been conducted in late June and new government took office on the 27th of July 2010. It is this stability in Somaliland that has encouraged the unified programme to establish most of the national support functions of the programme in Hargeisa alongside the Somaliland operational team and field office support functions. The national support functions established in the Hargeisa office include finance, logistics, and human resources.

After the unification The Nairobi office continued to accommodate some key senior staff who are responsible  for fundraising, networking and advocacy activities but the expense of maintaining these staff demands that the number be kept to a minimum. Currently SC’s programmes in Centeral South Somalia (CSS), Puntland and Somaliland are managed by two regional managers responsible for CSS and Somaliland/Puntland programs.

The two regional managers report to the Deputy Country Director/Programme Director who is answerable to the Country Director.

Operationally the regional managers receive direct support from operational managers/units line managed by Country Director including Finance/Grants, Logistics, Human Resources and Emergency.
