Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureSun-dried fish production to build resilient coastal communities in Somalia
Strengthening livelihoods and food security in a context of drought and armed conflicts
2018Also available in:
No results found.In May 2017, following decades of civil war and political upheaval, coupled with persistent and worsening drought effects, nearly half of the Somali population (6.7 million people) faced acute food insecurity. With one of the least-developed fisheries sectors – averaging one per cent of the county’s annual gross domestic product (GDP) – and the longest coastline in continental Africa, Somalia’s fisheries sector has great potential to fundamentally influence its national food security. The Food and Agriculture Organization’s (FAO) fisheries programme in Somalia contributes to improving livelihoods and food security. This promising practice explores one aspect of the fisheries programme in Somalia, which focuses on training youth and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to sun-dry fish for income generation and household consumption. The quality products are packaged and marketed into inland city markets, the fresh offcuts are cooked and eaten daily. Offcuts become a sort after commodity and have played a role in significantly improving the nutrition status in the IDP communities involved. Sun-drying of fish has been piloted in the northern coastal town of Bossaso, where IDPs are expanding new communities and face a dire need of livelihood assistance to support their predominantly female-headed households. Activities are being well recieved by coastal communities of Puntland and disadvantaged communities of the coastal city of Berbera, Somaliland. -
BookletCorporate general interestThe Programme Clinic: Designing conflict-sensitive interventions - Approaches to working in fragile and conflict-affected contexts
Participant’s workbook
2020In 2018 FAO approved its Corporate Framework to Support Sustainable Peace in the Context of Agenda 2030, committing FAO to a more deliberate and transformative impact on sustaining peace, within the scope of its mandate. The foundational element for FAO supported interventions to - at a minimum - do no harm, or to identify where they may contribute to sustaining peace, is to understand contextual dynamics and how they could interact with a proposed intervention. This is essentially what conflict-sensitive programming means. The Programme Clinic Facilitation Guide is a key step in operationalising this, being a structured participatory analysis designed to identify and integrate “conflict-sensitive” strategies into the design and implementation of FAO interventions. The objective is to minimise the risk of any negative or harmful impacts, as well as maximise any positive contributions towards strengthening and consolidating conditions for sustainable local peace. The Programme Clinic is designed in a way that empowers staff from the decentralised offices to facilitate the process effectively without needing to rely on external expert facilitation. The Programme Clinic is an intuitive multi-step process that enables participants to effectively engage in conflict-sensitive analysis and design thinking even if they have no previous training in conflict sensitivity. The process itself, when done effectively, has a secondary effect of building greater awareness of and competence in conflict-sensitive thinking in those participating in Programme Clinics. Both a detailed facilitators’ as well as participants’ guide have been produced to support the Programme Clinic approach. -
