ASSIGNMENT TITLE: CONSTRUCTION OF 5 EARTH DAMS AND REHABILITATION OF 10 DEGRADED RANGELANDS AND 25 BERKADS IN BURTINLE AND XARFO DISTRICTS IN PUNTLAND STATE OF SOMALIA

 

  1. BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT

Drought in Somalia is becoming more frequent and more devastating. This is particularly so in Puntland which has experienced consecutive seasons of failed rainy seasons. The widespread shortage of water for human, livestock has led to increases in livestock deaths. Limited Water infrastructures in Puntland make the conditions of the rural communities vulnerable to droughts during the dry season when water is scarce and food is limited for both humans and livestock. Rural livelihoods become extremely difficult and experience malnutrition, disease and sometimes famine.

The primary need of these communities is water and pasture because they directly depend on livestock for their livelihood and survival. Water availability has decreased over the years and environmental problems such as land degradation, desertification and poor rangeland management practices have been witnessed.

To address the above issues, The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change will implement a 9 months project which is aimed at Strengthening resilience and preparedness to droughts of communities. The project will construct 5 earth dams, rehabilitate 25 Berkads and 10 degraded rangelands along the Jalam-Xarfo road.

The European Union (EU), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Puntland State of Somalia have made funds available for these rehabilitation and construction measures which will be implemented by the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change in collaboration with GIZ Sustainable Road Maintenance Project.
