Due to constraints to rapid scale up of interventions (restrictions in access, logistic, human and financial resources) a phased approach has been adopted. Activities for the first year (phase 1) are focused on the adaption and standardisation of tools, training and strengthening of structures and mechanisms in preparation for delivery of interventions in the subsequent years (Phase 2). The strategy is consistent with the United Nations Transition Plan (UNTP) for Somalia 2008-09 and has been included in the Reconstruction and Development Plan (RDP) for the next three years
