The Somali government has been increasingly supportive of climate-resilient farming practices to address the challenges posed by climate change, which significantly affects agriculture in the region.

With the country facing recurring droughts, floods, and other climate-related disasters, there is a strong push to implement strategies that ensure food security and sustainable agricultural practices.

Several initiatives have been introduced, including promoting drought-resistant crops, improving irrigation systems, and supporting the use of modern farming techniques.

The government collaborates with international organizations, such as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), World Food Program (WFP), and the World Bank, to provide farmers with the necessary tools and knowledge to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

Moreover, the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, in conjunction with the Ministry of Agriculture, has been actively involved in creating policies that integrate climate resilience into the agricultural sector, aiming to reduce the vulnerability of communities dependent on farming.

These efforts are part of Somalia’s broader National Development Plan (NDP), which emphasizes the importance of building resilience against climate impacts across various sectors, including agriculture.
