Somalia has long faced high fish post-harvest losses due to weak cold chains—often cited around 30–40%. With 10 refrigerated trucks & 40 mobile kiosks now handed to FMS (for cooperatives) under #SCRP, fisheries co-ops can keep fish fresh longer, reach bigger markets & earn more
With @WorldBank support through #SCRP, 10 refrigerated trucks & 40 mobile kiosks were handed to FMS Fisheries Ministries, meant for fishing cooperatives. This milestone boosts cold chains, empowers fisherfolk & strengthens food security in 🇸🇴 @MFBESomalia@MoF_Somalia
Today in Baidoa, alongside H.E. @Abdullahiwatiin, Mayor of Baidoa Municipality, we have started distribution of early warning equipment targeting 9 villages in Baidoa, Hudur and Afgoye District as part of the “Strengthening and Linking Federal and State Early Warning Systems in Somalia” project under @ScrpSomalia co-implemented with @WFP and supported by @WorldBankAfrica@WorldBank
This marks a significant step in addressing long-standing gaps in early warning infrastructure, especially at the community level, where disaster information often fails to reach in time.
The distribution enhances the ability of local authorities and Village Disaster Management Committees to detect, share, and act on early warning signals.
Through decentralizing disaster risk management tools and strengthening intergovernmental coordination, we are building an integrated early warning system that is locally rooted and nationally connected.
This initiative empowers vulnerable communities to engage in preparedness and response, backed by stronger institutional systems and real-time data.
We extend our sincere appreciation to @WFPSomalia, @WorldBankAfrica, @WorldBank and the @ScrpSomalia team for their continued partnership and commitment to saving lives and strengthening resilience in Somalia.
