From Drought and Floods to Agricultural Resilience in Somalia
17 November 2026 · Somalia Pavilion
In Somalia, farmers and pastoralists face drought one season and floods the next. Each shock destroys crops, livestock and livelihoods, and pushes families deeper into food insecurity. Breaking this cycle means moving from emergency response to long-term resilience, built on early warning, climate-smart agriculture, better water management and finance that reaches rural communities. This session brings together government, technical agencies, producer organisations and development partners to share evidence on what works and to agree on practical pathways for scaling up agricultural resilience across the country.
Speaker: Ahmed D. Keinan, Senior Advisor, Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, Federal Government of Somalia
Partners: MoAI and State Agriculture Institutions · MoECC and Ministry of Finance · FAO and UNDP / NDC Partnership · SWALIM / ICPAC · Farmer and Pastoralist Organisations · Climate Funds and Development Partners
