Aid to Somalia, Somaliland

Most of he aid s directed towards state enterprises,which either do not exist or only n name.

Policies of pushing humanitarian aid to conflict areas with hope that some will trickle down to the need and target sectors has not worked well. In fact itperpetuates the status quo by empowering the warlords and militias who grab a big chunk and distorts the market economies by under cutting imported or local products.

Better to look for an alternative mechanisms of delivering aid - humanitarian & all.

There could be ways to employ the private sector for most or all of assistances.

Even though 55% of Aid goes to NGOs and 44% to UN which is good,which NGOs? How responsive are they? What local component? How transparent and accountable? NGOs are viewed another international organization (similar to UN) to the local population.The are very much not coupled to local needs!You really hit it right: VERY MUCH TRANSACTION & OVERHEAD CHARGES WHICH GIVES BAD IMAGE TO LOCAL POPULATIONS. NAIROBI COSTS!!!

Pooling of resources targeting collectively same projects and creating joint ventures with private sector.

Creating an advisory board consisting of private sector,elders, religious leaders for ADVISORY,FOLLOW UP, TRANSPARENCY, ACCOUNTABILTIY ON DONNER and RECEIVERS, PUBLICITY and SECURITY,ON PROJECTS & PERSONAL. You very well touched on all of this but just thought to highlight.

Reviews by confidential private sector entities.

As much as possible to target rural sectors,where the needs are far more acute and results more attainable. but needs a novel way to implement.

As you rightly said forget post conflict situation, it partial conflict.
