Mogadishu, Somalia – In Somalia, communities continue to grapple with the devastating effects of recurrent droughts, floods, and unpredictable weather that regularly destroy harvests and livelihoods. For smallholder farmers, whose survival hinges on the success of each planting season, these climate shocks are not just setbacks—they are existential threats. Families face dwindling food supplies, lost income, and growing uncertainty about the future.

Amid this challenge, a lifeline has emerged through support from the Republic of Korea. Working with the World Food Programme, initiatives are underway to help farmers anticipate and withstand these shocks. By providing tools, training, and resources, the program empowers communities to strengthen their crops, diversify production, and adapt farming practices to the increasingly harsh climate.

Beyond immediate relief, the efforts focus on building resilience. Farmers are learning to prepare for crises before they strike, reducing the risk of complete crop failure and helping families secure more stable sources of food and income. For many, this support represents hope and a tangible path toward sustainable livelihoods in the face of relentless environmental challenges.

In a country where climate-related hardship has become a recurring reality, the program offers more than assistance—it nurtures resilience, empowering Somalia’s farmers to confront uncertainty with knowledge, preparation, and optimism.
