The livestock plays Significant role in the country's economy and livelihoods in different aspects including livestock farming is the main livelihood for many Somali households, providing income through the sale of animals such as camels, cattle, sheep, and goats. Livestock export is a major contributor to Somaliland’s GDP. The country is known for exporting livestock, especially to Middle Eastern countries, generating substantial foreign exchange earnings. It supplies essential food products like meat, milk, and dairy products, which are vital for nutritional needs and food security in Somali communities. Livestock provides a vital source of resilience during periods of drought and food shortages, offering a form of wealth that can be liquidated or traded in times of need.
Odwayne district is predominantly an agro-pastoral region where local communities primarily rear livestock such as sheep, goats, camels, and to a lesser extent, cattle. However, due to climate fluctuations and recurrent droughts, a significant number of pastoral households have lost their livestock, which constitutes their main livelihood source.
In response, ADO through BRAC project (Building local Resilience for Adaptation to Climate Change), will provide targeted support to the most affected households in Dabagunbur village within Odwayne district. This intervention aims to mitigate the impact of livestock loss and help restore the livelihoods of vulnerable pastoral communities.
