The project seeks to strengthen the adaptive capacities and social cohesion of rural communities vulnerable to displacement by addressing the interconnected challenges of climate change, limited livelihood opportunities, environmental degradation and resource-based conflicts.Buy MapsThe Nagaasho Project adopts an integrated, community-driven approach to enhancing climate and environmental resilience, promoting sustainable livelihoods and strengthening inclusive natural resource management. Particular attention is given to women, youth and marginalized communities, whose livelihoods are disproportionately affected by recurrent droughts, seasonal flooding, deteriorating infrastructure and limited access to essential resources.In Beledweyne District, Hiran Region, recurrent flooding, prolonged droughts and the deterioration of critical rural infrastructure continue to undermine agricultural production, restrict access to water resources, disrupt transportation networks and increase the vulnerability of farming and agro-pastoral communities. Damaged irrigation canals, inadequate water management infrastructure and poor rural road conditions have further constrained agricultural productivity, access to markets and essential services, contributing to livelihood insecurity and displacement risks.To address these challenges, WARDI, through the Nagaasho Project, intends to undertake theconstructionand rehabilitation of climate-resilient water infrastructure, rehabilitation of irrigation canals and improvement of rural access roads in Harcadey, Deefow and Kabxanley villages of Beledweyne District, Hiran Region, Somalia.The proposed interventions aim to restore and improve essential community infrastructure, enhance water availability and distribution, strengthen irrigation efficiency, improve accessibility and reduce the vulnerability of rural livelihoods to climate-related shocks. The works will incorporate climate-resilient construction approaches, environmental considerations and sustainable infrastructure management practices to promote long-term functionality and community ownership.The interventions are expected to contribute to improved agricultural productivity, more reliable access to water resources, enhanced movement of people and agricultural produce, and increased resilience of vulnerable households against recurrent climatic shocks.WARDI Re
