Save the Children has a long history of engagement in Somalia and in Somaliland stretching as far back as 1954. In more recent times (since 1992) Save the Children UK has maintained an operational office in Hiran Region in what is now called the Central South Zone of Somalia (CSS).

 Since 2000, both Save the Children Denmark and Save the Children UK have been working in Somaliland. In 2004, Save the Children UK established an office in Puntland State in response to the Tsunamis and continues to undertake programmes from this office while Save the Children Denmark in Puntland works through partners. In the past two years Save the Children Finland has been financially supporting the work of both Save the Children Denmark and Save the Children UK in Somalia/Somaliland.

As part of the Global Save the Children Alliance ‘Unified Presence’ initiative, Save the Children Denmark, Save the Children Finland and Save the Children UK programmes in Somalia/Somaliland have unified by January 2010. By unifying the three organizations we shall be creating one single Save the Children organization in Somalia/Somaliland which has a substantial and effective portfolio of programmes that will promote the rights of children to health, nutrition, livelihoods, protection and education.
