Somalia has experienced years of conflict and fragility resulting in chronic poverty and vulnerability, displacement, poor economic capacity and food and nutrition insecurity. Half of Somalia’s population lives in rural areas, and agriculture – i.e. crops, livestock and fisheries – is the main source of economic activity, employment and exports. In 2020, up to 1.3 million people across Somalia were expected to face food consumption gaps or depletion of assets indicative of crisis – Integrated Food Security Classification - IPC phase 3 (IPC, 2020). Somalia’s high food insecurity in 2020 was the result of climatic shocks that have been recurrent since 2016, including six seasons of drought conditions and two seasons of severe flooding that led to loss of crops, agricultural labour, and income, as well as atypical livestock migration. In addition, almost 850 000 children under the age of five were acutely malnourished, including over 143 00 likely to be severely malnourished (FSNAU, 2021).
