The Building Climate Resilience for Food Security Project is a 36-month resilience-building initiative funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) through World Food Programme (WFP) and jointly implemented by Save the Children International (SCI) and SCAN, a local partner.
The project responds to the increasing frequency and severity of climate-related shocks affecting food security and livelihoods in Somaliland. Drawing on WFP’s contextual and vulnerability analysis, the project targets highly vulnerable geographies and populations, particularly smallholder farmers, livestock holders, and food value chain actors exposed to recurrent drought, land degradation, and market disruptions.
The Building Climate Resilience for Food Security Project is informed by WFP’s contextual and vulnerability analysis, which highlights the increasing frequency and intensity of climatic shocks particularly drought, erratic rainfall, and land degradation, across Somaliland. These shocks continue to undermine food security, agricultural productivity, and livelihoods of smallholder farmers, livestock holders, and crop value chain actors, especially in highly vulnerable rural and peri-urban areas.
The project’s Theory of Change (ToC) is built around a graduation approach, recognising that building sustainable resilience among vulnerable populations requires sequenced, complementary, and mutually reinforcing interventions over time. Over a period of approximately 36 months, the project integrates five graduation pillars:
Consumption support / social protection
Financial inclusion
Social cohesion
Sustainable livelihoods
Mentorship
Together, these pillars strengthen households’ capacity to cope with shocks, adapt livelihoods, and contribute to improved governance systems and ecosystem health.
This consultancy contributes directly to Pillar Three: Support for Smallholder Farmers, Livestock Holders, and Food Value Chain Actors, which focuses on protecting and enhancing livelihoods while maintaining agroecological integrity. Interventions under this pillar includes provision of inputs, regenerative land restoration access to early warning information, promotion of climate-resilient practices, improved post-harvest management, value addition, and strengthened farmer aggregation systems.
