Overcoming Participation Challenges in Somali Joint Needs Assessment at Zonal Level

This document outlines the significant challenges faced by Somali stakeholders in participating in the Joint Needs Assessment (JNA) at the zonal level. Key issues include limited public engagement, the absence of state authority in certain regions, a lack of experience with participatory models, and inadequate facilitating capacity within the Transitional Federal Government (TFG). The insights aim to enhance stakeholder involvement in shaping poverty reduction strategies and improving access to public goods and services.

  1. Major Challenges to Somali JNA Participation at Zonal LevelMohamed S. Mohamud “Farole”Puntland JNA [Zonal] CoordinatorJNA Retreat26th November, 2005Nairobi, Kenya

  2. Participation Challenges 1 • Participation: “the process through which stakeholders influence or share control over setting priorities, making policy, allocating resources, and ensuring access to public goods and services.” (The World Bank)

  3. Participation challenges 2 • Limited Public Participation Traditionally: Ordinary Somalis are not used to opportunities to actively participate in their country’s Poverty Reduction Strategies and Processes.

  4. Participation Challenges 3 • Absence of the State. Certain parts of the country are beyond the territorial control of the government (TFG) – potential political constraints. There are resources and access constraints in the other areas (Southern and Central Zones).

  5. Participation Challenges 4 • Limited in-country experience: with the country-driven participation model, and a belief in Somali JNA is a technocratic exercise undertaken largely to fulfill donor requirements.

  6. Participation Challenges 5 • Limited facilitation Capacity: Limited capacity and tools at the disposal of authorities i.e., TFG to structure or facilitate stakeholder engagement.
