BACKGROUND Save the Children has been working in Somaliland for more than 60 years. The Area Program Office has over 170 staff across 3 field offices in Borama, Burao and Hargeisa. We implement different programs for the Children who need support through our humanitarian and long-term development work in Health, Nutrition, Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH), Education, Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL), Child Protection and Child Rights Governance. Save the Children have been at the forefront of the emergency response in Somaliland during humanitarian crisis like drought, and as the COVID-19 situation has joined, we scaled up the response to cover both drought and COVID19 affected areas. 2. INTRODUCTION Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in December 2019, the disease has created humanitarian and socio-economic crises in an unprecedented way, touching nearly all countries and communities across the world. Somaliland is one of the countries in sub-Saharan Africa that has been affected by the crisis. In June 2020, Somaliland reported 593 positive cases, confirmed 27 deaths and recovery of 117 cases. Given the rapid pace of the virus and inadequate access to testing in Somalia, there are concerns the true number of COVID-19 cases may be much higher. To address and mitigate the impact of COVID-19 on education, the Somaliland Ministry of Education and Science (MoES) has closed all learning institutions (including schools and universities) effective March 19, 2020 and extended the closure of the next academic or school year until August 2020. As the result, 1,516 schools are closed and 257,340 children and adolescents (115,249 girls) are not attending school. This has posed increased pressure on parents to engage their children in productive activities at home. The Somaliland COVID-19 Response program will contribute to the implementation of the basic education response strategy plan developed by the Somaliland MOES, the existing GPE-funded ESPIG and other on-going education programs supported by the education sector coordination members. The program`s immediate interventions mitigate and respond to the effects of school closure by ensuring learning continuity. It also supports education systems to fully recover and ensure continued quality learning and sustained interventions with long-term potential. The overall program objective is to support and ensure continued learning and well-being of children during and after school closures and strengthen education system recovery and resilience. The program will focus on three main outcomes and their outputs. The program has three outcomes which are; • Outcome One: Girls and boys affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic Crisis continue their education during and after the COVID- 19 Emergency. • Outcome Two: Enhanced health, safety and wellbeing of learners, teachers and education staff. • Outcome Three: Strengthened systems and human resource capacity for effective and efficient response to COVID-19, recovery and future outbreaks. 3.
