Job description
OTP REGISTRAR
Somali Lifeline Organization (SOLO) is a national humanitarian and development organization
operating in Somalia/ Somaliland. SOLO works with crisis affected and underserved communities to
deliver principled, locally-led and accountable programmes across various sectors such as Health
and Nutrition, Protection and Gender-Based Violence, Water Sanitation and Hygiene, Food Security
and Livelihoods, Multipurpose Cash Assistance, Education, Peacebuilding, Climate Resilience and
Anticipatory Action. Through established field teams and operational offices, community partnerships
and coordination with government and humanitarian actors, SOLO supports timely lifesaving
assistance while strengthening community resilience and local systems.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Somali Lifeline Organization (SOLO), in partnership with Secours Islamique France (SIF), is implementing
Integrated Nutrition, Food Assistance and Resilient Livelihood Support for Crisis-Affected Vulnerable
Communities in Jubaland State (NOURISH-Somalia). The project is funded under the French Initiative for
Food Security and Nutrition (FIFSAN) and runs for 24 months, from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028,
in Kismayo, Dhobley and Jamaame districts.
Recurrent drought, flooding, conflict and displacement have left many households in these districts,
especially IDPs, women and young children, short of food and of health and nutrition services. Recent cuts
in humanitarian funding have reduced coverage of life-saving nutrition programmes further.
The project will reach 42,975 people directly, at least 65% of them women and girls. It combines nutrition
services, nutrition-sensitive food vouchers and El Niño preparedness, and livelihood support through
farming, livestock and women-led savings groups. SOLO leads the nutrition component, serving 16,468
children under two and 5,546 pregnant and lactating women (PLW):
Services are delivered with the Jubaland Ministry of Health and handed over to it progressively before the
project ends.
