Case Study: Active in Development Aid (ADA)

09 Jun, 2023

Active in Development Aid (ADA) is non-profit women-led organization (WLO) that works in Somalia and Kenya. It was founded in 1992 by a group of Somali professionals. While partnering with Trócaire in Gedo Region of Somalia and implementing Protection and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) projects, ADA learned about an opportunity for a WLO to be the co-chair of the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) working group (known in Somalia as the GBV Reference Group) at sub-national level in Gedo. The selection process for the WLO to assume that role was not competitive, given that there were no other WLOs working in the region of DolloGedo. Initially, Trócaire held conversations with ADA to determine their level of interest. Once contracted, ADA appointed a staff member who could assume leadership in the coordination role. Although ADA was a member of the WASH Cluster in Elwak, this was the first time for ADA to be involved in GBV coordination, as the Gedo GBV working group sat in Dollo town, whi...

Cash and Voucher Assistance for Adolescents- PLAN, WRC 2020

31 Mar, 2022

Adolescents – young people between the ages of 10 and 19 – have specific needs that are distinct from those of younger children and adults. This transitional and developmental period is increasingly seen as an “age of opportunity”1 globally and in humanitarian settings, because of the significant individual and intergenerational implications of adolescent development. Cash and voucher assistance (CVA) – giving beneficiaries cash or vouchers as an alternative to in-kind assistance such as food, blankets and direct services – is used increasingly in humanitarian settings. While CVA shows promise for addressing adolescents’ needs, a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of CVA on the protection and wellbeing of adolescents is critical. In particular, evidence is needed on how CVA should best be designed to draw on the assets and capacities of adolescents and ensure that any context-specific associated risks for adolescents can be mitigated through program d...
