2\. Project Background** In response to drought affected communities in Zeila district Taakulo anticipatory drought early action intervention in Zeila District, Awdal Region, aimed at reducing the socio-economic impact of the evolving drought conditions and preventing avoidable displacement. Forecasted rainfall deficits and declining water availability have already constrained access to safe water, food supply, and livestock productivity, placing pastoral and agro-pastoral households at heightened risk. The project seeks to deliver timely and life-saving early actions that protect households’ well-being and preserve livelihoods before the drought situation worsens. The intervention will include water trucking to the most water-stressed villages, under Zeila district alongside the repair and rehabilitation of non-functional shallow wells, boreholes, handpumps, and damaged water yards and pipelines, ensuring sustained and equitable access to safe water. To strengthen household coping capacity, the project will deliver unconditional cash transfers to enable families to meet their immediate basic needs in a flexible and dignified manner. 

This approach empowers affected households to prioritize expenditure based on their specific circumstances—whether food, medicine, water, animal feed, or other essential items. By providing timely cash assistance, the intervention reduces the risk of negative coping strategies, such as selling productive assets, withdrawing children from school, or significantly reducing meal intake, thereby helping to preserve livelihoods and safeguard long-term well-being. The project will further strengthen local resilience by delivering community-based early warning and disaster preparedness training to village committees and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) community groups under target villages for the project, enabling locally-led response, improved drought anticipation, and long-term risk mitigation. This integrated early action approach aims to safeguard lives, stabilize livelihoods, and reduce displacement risk in Zeila District. *
