Descripción
This learning brief documents the experiences and insights gained from the third phase of the United Nations Joint Action for Building Resilience in Somalia (JRP III), a multi-agency initiative implemented in the Gedo region. Since 2018, the programme – funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development through KfW Development Bank – has aimed to improve health, nutrition, education, and food security for vulnerable communities. Initially focused on integrated service delivery across 80 villages, JRP expanded in 2022 to include food security and livelihoods programming, with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) joining the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the World Food Programme (WFP) in a more holistic approach. JRP III emphasized convergence across sectors to strengthen community resilience, particularly among internally displaced people (IDPs). FAO launched a dedicated learning initiative to ensure that evidence and knowledge generated through JRP III would inform future programming and policy decisions. This aligns with FAO Somalia’s broader knowledge management and learning strategy, which promotes the systematic capture and dissemination of sustainable solutions to food crises. The learning brief highlights promising practices, such as integrated livelihood packages, people-centred approaches and climate-smart innovative tools, that have contributed to improved stability and self-reliance among displaced populations. Using qualitative data and lived experiences, the learning process provided rich, contextual insights into what works in fragile settings. These findings aim to support institutional learning, guide resource allocation, and enhance the impact of resilience-building efforts across Somalia and similar contexts.
