Brief Introduction
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been working in Somalia since 1964. As a service provider with worldwide operations in the fields of international cooperation for sustainable development and international education work, GIZ works with its partners to develop effective solutions that offer people better prospects and sustainably improve their living conditions. The goal of GIZ is to support the capacity development of people, organizations and institutional structures in the partner countries so as to enable them better their living conditions through their own efforts.
The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), is implementing various projects in Somalia, across multiple sectors and regions. One of the projects is the project “Promotion of climate resilient for food security in Somalia”.
The project has three outputs: Output A: Agriculture & Nutrition, Output B: Business/Income generating activities and Output C: Water. The 3 outputs have indicators leading to project outcome achievements. An essential prerequisite for strengthening the resilience of the target group is access to nutritious food (Output A). The impact hypothesis for Output A is that nutrition-sensitive and climate-adapted varieties can be identified for peri-urban Baidoa, and the target group trained in their cultivation as a contribution to improved climate adaptation strategies regarding food security (project objective). The assumption is that the vulnerable households will see the medium and long-term benefits of climate change adaptation measures. Output B aims to improve income generation opportunities for households in the target communities. The impact hypothesis is that diversification of income opportunities will contribute to improved climate adaptation strategies for food security.
