Overview:
BACKGROUND
The Somalia Food Systems
Resilience Program (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 Multiphase 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, strengthening
the availability of water and improved rangelands management for resilient
agriculture and livestock production; support animal health services, enhancing
the integration of the production systems to domestic and regional markets,
with appropriate investments in food safety and value addition, and
establishing an enabling policy and institutional framework at a sub-national,
national and regional level capable of supporting food systems resilience for
Somalia.
