PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation:
In Somalia, around 90 percent of the country and 7.8 million people are currently affected by a persistent drought. Because herd animals have died and fields and water sources have dried up, many people are losing their access to food.
Since the terrorist group AI-Shabaab was expelled, the area around the port city of Kismaayo has been a refuge for internally displaced persons and returnees from Kenya. Due to limited access to food, water, land and income, the basic supplies of the entire population in the city and the surrounding area are threatened. The government of the state of Jubaland is unable to meet the growing needs.
Objective:
Selected target groups in Jubaland have secured their food supply despite climate change.
Approach:
With the Somali Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, the project identifies climate-change-adapted, nutrient-rich crops and analyzes problems in cultivation and processing. State agricultural advisors receive appropriate training. For vulnerable households, the project also offers advice and information campaigns on climate-adapted farming practices and healthy nutrition. In addition, the Norwegian Refugee Committee (NGO) is implementing projects together with the ministry - including on irrigation, better farming methods and storage.
In particular, internally displaced people who use pastureland learn simple methods to further process their products, for example preservation through drying, as well as climate and disaster-resistant employment opportunities beyond agricult
