How the research helped/contributed
• The research gave the opportunity to actors to think together long term through a external facilitator.
• The discussions increased understanding of rehabilitation issues among Government authorities.
• The research provided the actors with a framework to understand sustainably and to analyze what they already do.
• Now, physical rehabilitation is progressively seen as a sector more than as individual projects.

What was learned
• Actors realized that sustainability doesn't necessarily mean that Government has to take over the provision of services.
• Even if project survival is the main concern today, sectorial approach is perceived as essential for the long term.
• Keeping proactive communication between actors including Government authorities, is important to build a strong sector.

Constraining factors
• The rehabilitation social network is not very dense.
• For more than 10 years only 2 national organisations are leading the provision of rehabilitation services and both protect their “baby”.
• The 2 service providers are reluctant to let the Government and other actors become more involved in the sector.
• Government is invisible and doesn’t show any interest for the rehabilitation sector.
![Page 12: HI Kenya - Somali © Éric Martin / Le Figaro / Handicap International Sustainability research in Somaliland: lessons learnt and perspectives Nepal, 24-29.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051000/56649e855503460f94b8864b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• No national “champion of sustainability” available to lead the follow up of the research at macro level.
• Low ownership of local actors to move forward on the research because sponsored (imported) by international organization.
• Involving time at a macro level (sustainability of the sector) is difficult when at micro level (project) the question is how to survive.
• Some actors simply see sustainability as unachievable under current context in Somaliland
Constraining factors
![Page 13: HI Kenya - Somali © Éric Martin / Le Figaro / Handicap International Sustainability research in Somaliland: lessons learnt and perspectives Nepal, 24-29.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051000/56649e855503460f94b8864b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Enabling factors
• Actors have very strong ownership and willingness for rehabilitation (project) and for disability issues.
• A national policy on disability was locally developed based on a good collaboration between actors.
• During the workshops the Ministry showed a good participation and knowledge-sharing and recently took some initiatives to coordinate actors around disability issues.
• Somaliland seems to be in a phase of acceleration of the development process and starts to attract interest of international donors.

• To encourage actors to reinforce the rehabilitation sector as a whole, instead of continuing focusing on centres.
• Effectively expose the partners to international donors for self fundraising.
• Capacity building for proposal writing and budget/finance management.
• To encourage Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA) to organize and host regular and inclusive cross-sectoral disability coordination meetings.
Conclusions Way Forward…
