Somalia Food Systems Resilience Project
The Somalia Food Systems Resilience Project (FSRP) is part of a regional initiative by the World Bank to provide a comprehensive framework to intervene at both the national and regional levels.
This Multi-phase Programmatic Approach (MPA) aims to tackle the underlying structural challenges of food insecurity and reduce beneficiaries' vulnerability to unpredictable climate, crisis, and conflict events.It seeks to achieve this by rejuvenating Somalia's agri-livestock research institutions, seed systems, and extension services and developing community institutions that can anchor adaptation of climate smart agri-livestock practices.
Project Objectives
The Project Development Objective (PDO) for S-FSRP will be 'to increase preparedness against food insecurity and improve the resilience of food systems in targeted project areas of Somalia. Progress toward the PDO will be measured using five PDO indicators and intermediate indicators. All relevant indicators will be disaggregated by gender (men and women) and age (youth and adult).
The Project will be implemented in the following 6 states of Somalia: Jubaland, South-West, Galmudug, Hirshabelle, Puntland, and Somaliland, with each participating FMS expected to sign a subsidiary agreement. Within each State, the project will be implemented in 8 selected districts, to be identified on the basis of several inclusion and exclusion criteria.
