Honored to be part of this great gathering. Thanks 🙏🏻 @savechildrenuk and @SaveChildrenSO team for offering me the opportunity to attend and share my experiences in humanitarian programming over 35 years; especially (Power shifting and localization) panel discussion.

Big thanks @MoazzamTMalik Save The Children UK CEO for well moderating the event!!

[GREDO SOMALIA @gredosom]

In partnership with @SaveChildrenSO, under the DANIDA SPA Programme, GREDO successfully conducted a 4-day intensive training for 22 youth and women farmers in Baidoa, equipping them with practical skills in agronomic practices, greenhouse vegetable production, pest and disease management, and post-harvest handling.

The hands-on training aimed to strengthen productivity, reduce post-harvest losses, and improve market readiness, contributing to resilient livelihoods and the sustainable expansion of greenhouse farming across the region.

Thanks to @DanishMFA for the support.

Famine risk confirmed in Burhakaba, Bay region.

Somalia’s Humanitarian Coordinator @GConway_UN calls for urgent and coordinated action now.

The window to prevent the worst is closing.

Act before it is too late.

[EU Delegation Somalia @EU_in_Somalia]

The EU remains the largest humanitarian donor in Somalia. Through recent €63M via @eu_echo, the 🇪🇺supports communities affected by drought & forced displacement every year, providing cash assistance, health & nutrition services for 3M+ people & safe learning for 45,000 children.

[Save the Children in Somalia @SaveChildrenSO]

In an interview with @BBCWorld Focus on Africa, @SaveChildrenSO Country Director Mohamud Mohamed Hassan warned that funding cuts & climate shocks leave nearly half of Somalia’s under-5s acutely malnourished.

Urgent aid is needed to avert famine.

[GREDO SOMALIA @gredosom]

Under the #DANIDA_SPA Programme in partnership with @SaveChildrenSO and support from @DanishMFA, GREDO successfully facilitated a two-day multi-stakeholder dialogue in Baidoa, bringing together Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), government authorities, and humanitarian partners to strengthen coordination and collaboration in humanitarian response efforts.

The dialogue promoted inclusive participation, joint planning, and stronger partnerships among key stakeholders working to support vulnerable communities across Southwest Somalia.

#Somalia’s severe drought is putting millions of children at risk.

So far 5M people affected, 2M in acute hunger, 500K displaced, with only 12.2% of required funding received.

Children urgently need nutrition, water & protection.

We must scale up support now.

[United Nations @UN]

Somalia faces a worsening drought crisis

Millions are facing hunger, water shortages and displacement — yet aid remains far short of what’s needed.

Urgent support is crucial to save lives.

[Save the Children in Somalia @SaveChildrenSO]

As @UNReliefChief visits #Somalia, needs are rising but funding is not.

1.85M children face acute malnutrition. Prices are 🆙 30%, & the response is only ~12% funded.

Recently, @SaveChildrenSO 🗣️ @AJEnglish “We want children to have a chance at life.”

Not all heroes wear capes.

Families in #Somalia are confronting a new catastrophe. "This report warns current funding cuts risk reversing hard-won progress. Funding must return now — to protect children & uphold the principle of “never again"" Mohamud Mohamed Hassan @save_children
