FOOD SECURITY

The overarching goal of our food security program is to combat the adverse effecrs of climate change by coordinating with farmers to building a food secure and prosperous Somalia.

FOOD SECURITY IN SOMALIA

DANDOR has been working with the remote communities of Puntland for over 20 years. In an effort to promote sustainable livelihoods in Puntland, DANDOR has closely monitored long-term factors leading to food security including the state of the environment (i.e. range lands), water supply, animal health, access to markets and levels of purchasing power.

The pastoral communities are not able to cover their basic food, medicine or water needs. As a result of the drought the number of salable animals has decreased and pastorals do not have the resources to buy the food they need from the market.

We will continue to address the immediate needs of those in food crisis through our humanitarian work, which is guided by the fundamental principles. And we will also work to reduce the vulnerability of Somalia communities through longer-term support to livelihoods and food security.
