Partner: Oxfam direct. Donor: Oxfam Appeal. Project Overview: Oxfam’s humanitarian response in Somaliland, which focuses primarily on WASH and EFSVL in response to the 2016 drought in Somaliland and Somalia. Oxfam’s response is in Sool and Sanaag regions of eastern Somaliland through a mix of direct implementation and with partners HAVOYOCO and Candlelight. Oxfam’s direct implementation is funded by Oxfam’s appeal. As of early 2019, the situation is still precarious with few signs of early recovery and people still heavily reliant on humanitarian assistance.
