Resumen
Descripción
The Government of the United States of America contributed USD 22.5 million to the FAO project, "Improved food security and livelihood recovery in Somalia". The project aimed to improve the food security of the most acutely food insecure population groups in rural Somalia. A total of 41 625 households (249 750 people) were supported with cash assistance and agricultural livelihood packages, as part of FAO's cash+ and cash-for-work programmes. Emergency livestock support was also provided through the treatment of livestock against common diseases and training of community animal health workers. Through the Food Security Cluster, the project also strengthened the capacity of cluster partners and coordination of their interventions. Meanwhile, the capacity of government staff to produce and disseminate tailored flood and drought information to be used in the drought response was enhanced through the Somalia Water and Land Information Management.
