component, flexibility and transferability of resources across sub-components will be allowed. This will help the Project in adapting to any evolving patterns of drought and changes in the security context of the affected regions during project implementation. “Overhead” or “Project Servicing” Costs of 6.5 and 7 percent for ICRC and FAO, respectively, are factored into the below component costing table.

Lessons Learned and Reflected in the Project Design International experience working in drought and famine response indicates there is the need to link relief, recovery and development efforts. In this respect, the project design supports immediate responses to avoid the deterioration of the food security situation of the most vulnerable people (distribution of food rations and nutritional support) and medium-term recovery to help populations increase their food security (e.g. boosting production via seeds, tools, etc.). This is especially important in Somalia, a country that faces recurrent episodes of food and nutrition insecurity. International experiences also suggest that the speed of the World Bank’s project preparation and implementation is of the essence, allowing it to respond to urgent needs and reduce the immediate impact of crisis disaster, while providing the impetus to accelerate more sustainable and resilient recovery. Lessons from WB operations in other countries like South Sudan, North-East Nigeria,
