The Wadajir project – Enhancing Durable Solutions for, and Reintegration of, Displacement Affected Communities – was carried out in two districts of Somaliland, Hargeisa and Burao. The three-year project, funded by the EU within its RE-INTEG programme, was implemented by the Somaliland Durable Solutions Consortium, comprising World Vision, the Danish Refugee Council, Norwegian Refugee Council, Concern Worldwide, Taakulo Somaliland Community and Regional Durable Solutions Secretariat. The four result areas of the project were concerned with improving the ability of the targeted
displacement-affected communities to participate in decision-making structures, increasing their
access to basic services, improving their access to livelihoods through skill training and seed capital,
and disseminating lessons learnt about finding durable solutions to the problems faced by
displacement affected communities. The consultancy firm, iDC, carried out the evaluation during late February and early March 2020. The
objective of the evaluation was to document the achievements and challenges of the project in terms
of the conventional evaluation criteria of Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Sustainability and
Impact. This evaluation report also draws a number of key lessons and makes recommendations that
could be taken up in any extension of the Wadajir project or in any similar project elsewhere.
