Furthermore, the partnership between TAAKULO and Oxfam strengthens the implementation of the CDD model, combining their expertise and resources to effectively address the region's pressing needs. In alignment with the National Development Plan-9 (2021-24), NEXUS and its partners are committed to enhancing community participation, making this model a uniquely inclusive and impactful response to the specific context of Somalia/Somaliland.
