Somalia

Humanitarian Context

Somalia is facing a protracted humanitarian crisis driven by recurring droughts, food insecurity, conflict and disease outbreaks. Water scarcity and extreme weather conditions severely affect the livelihoods of millions of people who depend on agriculture and livestock, leading to displacement, crop losses and a continuous deterioration of food security.

Limited access to basic health, nutrition, water and sanitation services further exacerbates a situation that particularly affects children and the most vulnerable communities. Acute malnutrition remains one of the main threats facing the population, with hundreds of thousands of children at risk.

Our Work

Action Against Hunger works in Somalia to save lives and strengthen the resilience of the most vulnerable communities. We implement integrated programmes in health, nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), food security, livelihoods and protection, both through direct interventions and in partnership with local organisations.

Through the Caafimaad Plus Consortium, we help deliver humanitarian assistance to hard-to-reach areas, bringing essential health and nutrition services closer to isolated communities. We also promote awareness-raising activities that encourage the acceptance of preventive services such as vaccination and improve access to humanitarian supplies.

In addition, we run climate change adaptation and livelihoods programmes. We support agricultural cooperatives through technical training, improved production methods and market access, helping to increase yields and reduce post-harvest losses. These initiatives enable families to generate more sustainable incomes and strengthen their food security.

At the same time, we build and rehabilitate climate-resilient water infrastructure, ensuring access to safe drinking water for vulnerable communities and displaced populations. In doing so, we help improve living conditions, prevent disease and strengthen communities' capacity to cope with future crises.
