About the project
WARDI is implementing through Care a project titled Nagaasho - Integrated Solutions for Preventing
Displacement and Strengthening Rural Resilience in Somalia and Somaliland The Nagaasho project aims to
strengthen resilience and prevent displacement in rural communities in Somalia and Somaliland by
addressing three core displacement push factors: the impacts of climate change and limited adaptive
capacity, a lack of economic opportunities, and weak institutional capacities to prevent and manage conflict.
The project will directly target 46,000 rural individuals, at least 60% of whom are women, in high-risk
districts across the Gedo, Hiraan, Lower Shabelle, Sool, and Sanaag regions. The project is implemented
through a consortium of partners, each contributing their specialized expertise. CARE leads the activity
domain on climate resilience and environment, drawing on its extensive experience in climate adaptation,
environmental management, and livelihood support. iRise Hub, a local hub for youth entrepreneurship, leads
the activity domain related to resilient livelihoods and inclusive economic opportunities, leveraging its
expertise in fostering food systems innovation, promoting financial inclusion, and strengthening value chains
through local entrepreneurship. Safer world leads the activity domain focused on conflict prevention, social
resilience, and inclusive governance, utilizing its solid track record in peacebuilding, conflict sensitivity, and
governance strengthening in conflict-affected contexts. WARDI and WAAPO, local implementing partners,
bring extensive experience in community-driven resilience building. WARDI leverages its deep community
networks, established over three decades of work in livelihoods, climate adaptation, and humanitarian
response, particularly in Hiran, Middle Shabelle, and Lower Shabelle. Its deep community networks ensure
the project’s interventions are inclusive and contextually relevant. WAAPO, a women-led organization, is a
vital partner for advancing peace, protection, and gender equality, drawing on its long-standing engagement
with local authorities and community leaders and its ability to access hard-to-reach areas. WFP, through its
IGNITE Innovation Hub (RBN), serves as the consortium's knowledge partner, responsible for action
research, cross-domain learning integration, and advancing policy recommendations for national level
influence.
