FAO & British Embassy in Mogadishu launch £35m RESTORE project for Somalia.
This initiative will help restore riverine ecosystems, promote sustainable natural resource management & empower communities to adapt to climate change.
#RESTORE#ClimateAction
FAO Somalia and the Government of Norway today held a signing event in Mogadishu to mark the launch of a new #FoodSecurity project.
Together, we are supporting 36,000 people in #Hirshabelle & #Jubaland, to protect livelihoods & enhance resilience against #floods & #drought.
Very disastrous and deadly flooding in 🇸🇴 particularly Gedo region, the people of Gedo region need immediate lifesaving assistance and recovery to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. All is lost apparently. They will start from scratch. #ClimateAction
Disturbing footage reveals the immense scale of the Jubba River flooding in Buurdhuubo Gedo. An entire neighborhoods has been engulfed by the floodwaters. Gedo is grappling with ElÑino flooding as other cities within the region have seen an increase in River waters today.#ElÑino
El Niño effect in Somalia, particularly in south-central areas. The ongoing flooding, esp in riverine areas poses serious risks to communities, infrastructure, and agricultural lands with long term negative impact on lives and livelihoods
#disasterriskreduction#flooding#Somalia
Bardera Bridge - half of the bridge has already been submerged.
Under normal flow conditions, the distance between the underside of the bridge and the river is 14 meters.
The video footage depicts the extensive flooding in the district. #ElÑino#Flooding@MPMursalKhaliif
Walking the extra mile in serving communities. No matter what! In the face of ever-changing weather phenomenon, building climate resilience is critical now. JOSP is an idea whose time has come. Jowhar and Shabelles are Somalia's breadbasket and must be revived. @FAOSomalia
Rainy season is upon us! The Jowhar Offstream (JOSP) team visited HSS today to present the programme. The logistical challenges of getting there are perhaps indicative of those that lie ahead in coming months. But adversity builds team spirit! #climateresilience
FAO's work in Dollow, Somalia, is helping IDPs produce their own food, disproving the notion that they just sit in camps and wait for aid.
The joint resilience project aims to strengthen resilience for almost 25,000 families in Jubaland thanks to @KfW_FZ_int funding.
Stabilization & peace in Somalia starts with community integration.
FAO, IOM & gov't helped once warring communities in Marka embrace each other & work together for resilience. Stakeholders met to discuss success & recommend scale up to other districts.
#PeaceBuilding
Great step in the right direction. This will ensure smoother & flawless targeting approach. It also further enhances accountability, facilitate integration and layering of assistance. #LeaveNoOneBehind
.@EKDaloum & @EPeterschmitt have just signed a new WFP-FAO data sharing agreement, a very significant milestone in our partnership w/ @FAOSomalia to fight hunger, in a ceremony attended by key donors and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation.
