Somalia is one of the most fragile countries in the world. It faces significant challenges regarding security, inequality, displacement, conflicts over natural resources and economic development, all of which are exacerbated by climate change. Many households are food insecure. Forty-nine per cent of the population is undernourished because of very low agricultural productivity on rain-fed staple crops. The population also depends on the livestock subsector, which relies on natural pastures in the country’s rangelands.

Climate change increases the likelihood of compounding and cascading impacts for communities and ecosystems in a post-conflict context, which is marked by depleted technical capacity in government institutions, low investment in agriculture, and inadequate access to climate information among communities on the ground.

The project aims to restore productive landscapes to sustain resilient livelihoods. It will promote sustainable agricultural practices and increased access to water; enhance access to climate-resilient inputs (seeds, feed, fodder); improve market access for smallholders; and strengthen institutional frameworks and coordination for sustainable landscape management and climate-resilient agriculture.
