August 2016
Methodology
Map of the cluster area
The researchers were able to access Doolow Ado (Ethiopia) and Mandera (Kenya). Due to on- going government engagement and security issues, the researchers were not able to access Gedo in Somalia. A team of researchers already in Gedo was able to fill in any gaps in the research. Furthermore, the researchers interviewed civil society and NGO officials working in Gedo region of Somalia but based in Mandera.
The researchers were able to meet with the following NGOs: Rural Agency for Community Development and Assistance (RACIDA), Lifeline Gedo, Norwegian Refugee Council, Interpeace, Islamic Relief, Save the Children, World Vision, Medecins Sans Frontieres, Danish Refugee Council and Danish Demining Group.
