What SOMES has done, what it costs, and what changed as a result — updated quarterly and reported against annually.
Where we are against the strategic plan
SOMES reports progress against the five-year strategic plan that anchors the annual budget cycle. Deviations beyond ten per cent trigger corrective action under the financial manual.
Closing the five gaps
SOMES was established to close five specific gaps. This is how we measure whether that is happening.
Institutional gap
Indicator: SOMES legally registered, constitution adopted, audited accounts published annually, and recognised in national planning documents as the professional body for evaluators.
Capacity gap
Indicator: number of evaluators completing structured training and certification; number of universities integrating SOMES curriculum content.
Policy gap
Indicator: number of public evaluations with a documented management response, and the share of recommendations acted on within twelve months.
Youth engagement gap
Indicator: YEE share of membership, mentorship completions, YEE-led sessions at the national conference, and YEE representation on the Executive Board.
Regional integration gap
Indicator: formal membership or affiliation with AfrEA, IOCE and EvalYouth, and the number of Somali evaluators participating in regional and global events.
Financial sustainability
Indicator: share of core costs met from unrestricted income — membership dues, donor overheads, service fees and the reserve fund — under the cost recovery framework.
Figures on this page are illustrative until the first full reporting year closes. Verified figures are published in the annual report and accompany the externally audited financial statements.
