These needs are driven by recurring droughts, poor natural resource management, and the lack of effective early warning systems. Such conditions have severely impacted pastoralist and agropastoral communities, leading to crop failures, high livestock mortality, and widespread displacement. The situation has been further worsened by ongoing conflicts in the Sanaag region, which is the primary target area for this project.

The SOMJR project delivers both immediate and long-term relief, focusing on the WASH and Livelihoods sectors. These interventions aim to reduce human suffering, enhance community resilience, and support recovery efforts in the Sanaag region.

A key component of the project is enhancing food security by meeting the urgent needs of affected communities while also implementing environmental protection measures. These efforts are designed to counteract the adverse effects of climate change and support sustainable natural resource management. Specifically, the Food Security and Livelihoods component includes the distribution of the climate-adaptive assorted seeds for economically poor agropastoral to enhance food security of the community and alleviate on any challenges in in terms of the food accessibility as a long-term solution. `
