Sidas andel uppgår till totalt 195 435 338 kronor medan Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) står för resterande andel (SEK 53 441 400). 

Insatsen syftar till att dels bidra till fortsatt tillgång till basala hälso- och sjukvårdstjänster för gravida kvinnor och barn under fem år i 13 distrikt i Jubaland, Galmudug och Puntland, dels fortsätta stödja uppbyggnaden av den somaliska hälsosektorn med fokus på förstärkning av hälsosystem på lokal- och regional nivå. Vidare, avser insatsen att stärka kapaciteten hos de lokala myndigheterna inom styrning och beslutsfattande avseende hälso- och sjukvårdsfrågor, öka tillgången och kvalitén på hälso- och sjukvårdstjänster samt stärka ägarskap och resiliens hos befolkningen. 

Save the Children International (SCI) har implementerat programmet ”Community Health and Social Accountability Programme” (CHASP) sedan maj 2017 med stöd av Sida och Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). Insatsen har nått betydande framgångar i arbetet med att förbättra hälsan hos mödrar samt nyfödda och barn, i synnerhet i underutvecklade och svårtillgängliga områden och samhällen genom att implementera en rad olika kvalitetshöjande hälsotjänster i ovannämnda regioner. Insatsen bygger vidare på det stöd som Sverige tidigare har gett till hälsosektorn (bland annat genom Joint Health and Nutrition Program, JHNP), som var ett omfattande utvecklingsprogram med flera givare och flera partners (2012–2017) i Somalia. CHASP startade i maj 2017 när JHNP, som då implementerades av UNICEF, upphörde i april 2017. SCI var JHNP:s största partner i implementeringen av hälso- och nutritionsprogram i flera regioner i Somalia. Save the Children Sweden submitted 31st May 2021 an application for program support for the period 2021–2024, with a total budget of SEK 248,877,738. Sida's share amounts to a total of SEK 195,435,338, while the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC) accounts for the remaining amount (SEK 53,441,400).
