In Beledweyne, farming livelihoods remain central to local economy, yet communities continue to face growing pressure from recurrent floods and droughts. With support from @NorwayInSomalia and @SwissEmbassyKE and in partnership with the Somali government, four critical solar-powered irrigation systems are helping more than 17 farmers sustain production, reduce energy costs and strengthen climate resilience. This intervention targets mainly youth and women farmers and demonstrates how practical, climate-smart infrastructure can support agricultural productivity, protect livelihoods and contribute to more sustainable local recovery in flood- and drought-affected communities.
