In complex emergency situations such as that in Somalia, marred by violence, destitution and famine, the
Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations has managed to implement a large cashfor-
work (CFW) programme. The programme provides emergency relief while building the base for future
recovery. This concept note aims at gathering lessons learned from FAO - Somalia’s experience in designing
and implementing a CFW programme.
