Structured graduation and community MHPSS

SRF implements sequenced economic graduation packages paired directly with localized psychosocial support, multi-stakeholder governance dialogues, and structured referral pathways across South-Central Somalia.

Consumption stabilisation

Skills and literacy

Asset transfers and VSLAs

Market integration

Unconditional cash transfers protect essential food intake and prevent asset depletion during the initial settlement phase in displacement camps.

Participants complete market-aligned vocational apprenticeships alongside functional numeracy and basic business bookkeeping modules delivered by vetted Somali master craftspeople.

Households receive productive enterprise grants and form self-managed Village Savings and Loan Associations that accumulate capital and collective insurance.

Ongoing enterprise mentorship and cooperative supply-chain linkages enable households to sustain profitable market operations without recurring donor cash inputs.

Operational focus

Frontline intervention pillars

Our frontline interventions synchronize household livelihoods with community protection networks and district authorities, establishing durable conditions for displaced and returning families across urban centers.

Economic inclusion

Community MHPSS

Civic dialogue

Time-bound graduation cohorts combine vocational training, enterprise start-up seed funding, and village savings groups to build diversified household revenue.

Certified frontline facilitators deliver peer support circles, trauma-informed coping sessions, and formal clinical referral protocols under IASC guidance.

District consultation tables bring displaced leaders, host elders, and municipal administrators together to draft binding community reintegration compacts.
