With their mother's arms around them and drops of rain on their faces, a girl and boy stand near the banks of the Jubba River waiting to receive relief supplies being delivered by boat from the southern town of Bardera during flooding in November 1997.

The planning, monitoring and evaluation programme ensures that UNICEF programmes and projects are based on improved assessment and analysis of the situation in Somalia, including lessons learned. Its objective is to establish a reliable and credible knowledge base.

In addition to overall guidance and oversight of UNICEF planning processes -- from assessment and analysis to implementation and monitoring -- this programme aims to fully integrate elements of emergency preparedness into all activities to ensure appropriate planning and rapid response.

It also seeks to develop indicators and closely monitor the mainstreaming of gender concerns into all UNICEF-supported programmes and processes.
