BBS Irrigation Investment and Partnership Roundtable
13 November 2026 · Somalia Pavilion
Water is the foundation of farming, food security and rural livelihoods in Somalia. As droughts and floods become more frequent, reliable irrigation is one of the most direct ways to protect harvests and build resilience. Turning that potential into results, however, requires coordinated investment and strong partnerships. This roundtable brings together government, development banks, technical partners and water users to align on priorities for the BBS irrigation programme, mobilise finance and agree on practical next steps for joint implementation that benefits farming communities.
Speaker: Ahmed D. Keinan, Senior Advisor, Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, Federal Government of Somalia
Partners: MoAI and BBS Implementation Team · AfDB Group · MoECC and Ministry of Finance · IsDB and Bilateral Development Funds · FAO and Türkiye · State Authorities and Water-User Representatives
