The Somalia Emergency Food Assistance Project (SEFAP) is a one –year project funded by USAID Office of Food for Peace (FFP) which commenced in March 2014 and is expected to be completed by March 2015.The project is specifically designed to address the immediate food needs of vulnerable IDP, returnees and host community households in the districts of Afmadow and Badhaadhe. Key activities of the project includes conditional transfers (Cash for Work), unconditional cash transfers (UCTs) and food vouchers. CARE is working in partnership with Wajir South Development Association (WASDA) which is responsible for direct implementation of activities. However, direct transfers of monthly cash for work wages and unconditional cash is undertaken by CARE through KAAH Money Transfer Company. CARE has developed MOU with KAAH to facilitate cash transfers and payment to beneficiaries at field level. The project is currently implemented in seven (7) locations (5 in Afmadow district and 2 in Badhaadhe district). These locations are Dobley, Diif, Shabah, Tabta, Qoqani (Afmadow) and Waraq and Kolbiyo (Badhaadhe). Project interventions are expected to benefit a total of 2,800 households (1,600 for CFW, 300 for UCTs and 900 for food vouchers) by the end of the implementation period.  CARE has been monitoring the project remotely while working with the implementing partner (WASDA). However, third party monitoring was included in the proposal to carry out independent project verification. This was to complement CARE’s current remote monitoring systems to ensure adherence to donor and CARE quality standards. The objective of this monitoring is to provide independent and objective assessments of CARE’s SEFAP project activity with regards to quality of the activities being implemented. Data collection was done through household surveys, FGDs, KIIs and Desk reviews of secondary information. A total of 300 individuals participated in the household survey. Other stakeholders interviewed included village relief committees and local authority representatives.
