Strengthening Drought Resilience in the Somali National Regional State, Ethiopia (SDR-SNRS)
01.01.2023
- 30.06.2026
The livelihoods of pastoralists and agro-pastoralists in Somali National Regional State are increasingly threatened by environmental, socio-economic, and political upheavals. GIZ, in cooperation with Local Government partners, aims to build the resilience of vulnerable pastoralist communities through proven land rehabilitation measures, the promotion of livelihood activities, and capacity development of government and private sector institutions.
RLP - Horn of Africa Regional Livestock Program
01.12.2022
- 31.12.2026
Pastoralist communities in the Horn of Africa (HoA) rely on livestock as their main livelihood source. They face multiple pressures of climate change, degraded natural resources, and conflicts. The program will support historically underdeveloped pastoralist cross-border communities of Somalia, Ethiopia, and Kenya to become more climate resilient and derive sustainable livelihoods from inclusive livestock market systems. The intervention takes a regional approach – linking production, markets, and policy.
IGAD Land Governance Programme
01.09.2019
- 30.04.2024
Land is a source for livelihoods and a valuable economic asset in the IGAD region. Drawing on experiences from other land related partnerships at national, regional and global levels, Switzerland supports the Intergovernmental Authority on Development IGAD to translate continental and global land governance frameworks and guidelines into practice in order to improve access to land and tenure security for all, especially for vulnerable groups like pastoralists, women and youth.
One Health Units for Humans, Environment, Animals and Livelihoods (HEAL)
01.03.2019
- 31.10.2024
Transmission of diseases between humans and animals are frequent in pastoralist societies of Somalia, Ethiopia and Northern Kenya and related to environmental conditions. The HEAL project promotes sustainable rangeland management and access to integrated human/livestock health services. Thereby, it contributes to improved health, to reduced vulnerability among pastoralist communities and to prevention of their displacement/migration, which is in the interest of Switzerland.
Reducing Food Losses through Improved Post Harvest Management in Ethiopia
01.07.2018
- 31.08.2024
Ethiopia continues to experience high post-harvest losses around 30% annually due to inappropriate use of technologies and mal-practices. Building up on the success stories and knowledge gained from SDC’s long-term engagement in post-harvest management and lessons learnt from the first phase, the second phase aims at promoting affordable and effective on-farm storage technologies and management practices to reduce post-harvest losses for smallholder farmers in Ethiopia.
