Shaqodoon Organization

Every quarter, Somali Resilience Program (SomReP) convenes a technical working group meeting bringing together its partners Response Innovation Lab, Shaqodoon Organization, ADRA International, Action Against Hunger | ACF-USA, Oxfam Somali, Danish Refugee Council / Dansk Flygtningehjælp, CARE, World Vision Somali and COOPI - Cooperazione Internazionale to discuss effectiveness of interventions and address emerging issues that enhance household and community resilience programming. The Quarter 4 meeting, which began on Monday, centered on refining the SomReP design target book by incorporating lessons learned from previous designs and aligning it with the Phase III strategy.

Innovation in action🚜 Watch how a farmer in Bananeey is using #MDALAG’s tractor matching feature to streamline his farming operations. Through the dedicated 315 line, M-DALAG connects farmers to available tractors in their area, eliminating delays & ensuring they can prepare their fields on time. This simple yet powerful tool is helping farmers save time, reduce costs, & increase productivity. Part of the EU #Riverine Project, funded by European Union through Somali Resilience Program (SomReP), M-DALAG is changing the way Somali farmers access vital resources.

Today marks a significant milestone as we celebrate the successful upgrade of the Early Warning System—an achievement made possible under the EU #BREACH Project, funded by the European Union through Somali Resilience Program (SomReP). This upgraded system will allow The Somaliland National Disaster Preparedness and Food Reserve Authority (NADFOR) and other relevant government agencies to provide timely, quality & actionable alerts. It stands as a testament to the power of #collaboration and #innovation, aiming to create safer, more resilient communities. Thank you to all our partners and guests who helped us celebrate this momentous occasion.

Empowerment starts with connection🌾 We recently met with farmers from Bananeey in #Jowhar to discuss the transformative potential of M-DALAG. Through tools like tractor booking, crop disease reporting, & market price updates, farmers gain access to timely resources that aim to improve productivity & resilience. The feedback received & discussions held during these session are valuable to the #Riverine Project. Funded by the European Union through Somali Resilience Program (SomReP) we’re connecting farmers to real-time solutions—helping them save time, reduce costs, & boost productivity. Listening to their voices is how we ensure #MDALAG truly works for their needs.

Introducing SomReP’s Phase III Strategy In response to the insights gained from SomReP’s Phase II Strategy Review, we are excited to introduce our Phase III Strategy — a bold step forward in our commitment to building resilience in vulnerable communities. Phase III focuses on intensifying resilience-building interventions to empower individuals and communities in the face of recurring shocks and stressors. As we move forward, geographic expansion will occur through a staged approach, ensuring that each new pillar is aligned with the unique resilience journey of the communities we serve. Our strategy remains flexible and responsive, allowing us to address evolving challenges and seize opportunities for growth as they arise. But what does our approach look like from the perspective of the communities we work in? How do these different approaches and models come together to holistically build the resilience of program participants and their wider communities? Watch our Program Participant Point of View (POV) explainer video, which uses the story of hypothetical stakeholder Mohammed and his family to illustrate how our strategy comes together at a community level.

Our community mobilizers in #Jowhar are now equipped with the tools and knowledge to bring M-DALAG’s services to life! Last week, Shaqodoon conducted training sessions on the M-DALAG system, teaching mobilizers how to assist farmers with features like registration, tractor booking, and crop disease reporting. The mobilizers will play a key role in keeping information about market prices up-to-date, farmer engagement and knowledge sharing. Part of the EU #Riverine Project funded by the European Union through Somali Resilience Program (SomReP), #MDALAG is all about innovative solutions that empower farmers.

The last two days, the Somali Resilience Program held its Quarterly Review Meeting with partners COOPI - Cooperazione Internazionale Shaqodoon Organization CARESOM Danish Refugee Council / Dansk Flygtningehjælp Action Against Hunger | ACF-USA and World Vision Somali to share activity progress, challenges and lessons learned during the quarter. Such collaboration strengthens our programs and ensures greater impact for the communities we serve. #LessonsLearned #ImpactTogether
