The programme was piloted in 2013 in Somalia by CISP for a period of 3 years and later rolled out across Somalia regions since 2016. In 2017, CISP was engaged by UNICEF to mentor and support its 11 implementing Partners in Scaling-up of Community-Care component in 16 locations in South Central, Puntland and Somaliland.
