Barriers and enablers to effective collaboration and coordination mechanisms among humanitarian organisations delivering health and nutrition programmes in Somalia: an exploratory qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The effectiveness of humanitarian health and nutrition programmes in Somalia is critically dependent on seamless collaboration and coordination among a diverse array of actors. While existing literature acknowledges broad challenges to coordination such as insecurity, resource competition and fragmentation, a significant gap remains in understanding how these barriers and their corresponding enablers actively manifest in the daily operations and decision-making processes of frontline practitioners.

Objectives

This study aims to provide a systematic, in-depth exploration of the barriers and enablers influencing collaboration and coordination mechanisms from the perspective of those directly involved in the response.
