Ethics approval and consent to participate

: The Population Council Institutional Review Board (protocol #775), as well as the Somaliland Ministry of Health and Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (Ref: W/SH/AB/02/28/016) approved this study. All interviews were conducted in private spaces and all data treated with confidentiality. The names of participants did not appear in the interview guides, notes, and audio recordings. Rather, each interview guide was assigned a unique identification number by the research team at the end of the interview, rendering it impossible to link a respondent to any responses. Participants were informed that everything discussed in the key informant interviews would be kept private and that all data on the findings would be anonymized. All participants gave signed informed consent.
