    Somalia continues to face political, social and economic challenges after two decades of civil conflict This, alongside an inadequate level of external support, has limited the capacity of the Federal Government to fulfil its mandate Institutions remain weak, and policies and legal frameworks are inadequate Livestock diseases are a major handicap to livestock production and exports and often lead to livestock export bans Given the country’s limited human and institutional capacity, the Federal Government requested urgent external support in order to increase livestock exports, one of the goals of the Somalia NDP 2017 2018 The project aimed to respond to this request by building human and institutional capacity in the field and by providing technical support to the ministries responsible for livestock in Somalia The main objective of the project was to provide technical assistance to the federal MoLFR in its efforts to enhance livestock exports for the benefit of male headed and female dependent households along the livestock value chain The project would support MoLFR by providing immediate technical assistance, training and inputs to establish coordination mechanisms, develop capacity in laboratory diagnosis, disease surveillance and reporting, and the management of quarantine stations, and create a policy and regulatory framework to support livestock exports It was envisaged that this would lead to investment in solid capacity development programmes to address the short and medium term needs of MoLFR.
