PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
We are seeking a solution for building capacity in the Somali agricultural
sector in order to increase farmer productivity and stabilize the income of
rural households. Agricultural stakeholders specifically requested support
in solutions that improve the quality of agricultural academic institutions in
training students; improve farmer’s capacity to use modern technology for
better and more sustainable yields; and build the overall capacity of
partners (civil society organization, line ministries, NGOs, etc.) to plan,
design, and implement quality food security and livelihood programs.
