Overview of position

In late 2019 parts of Somalia experienced some of the worst flooding in the country’s recent history resulting in several deaths & significant damage to infrastructure, crops, property & livestock. Further to this flood event, a joint assessment was undertaken by the WB & the FGS to assess the losses & damage caused by the floods & to develop a strategy for immediate recovery & longer term resilience building. As a result Somalia Crisis Recovery Project (SCRP) was formulated & financed by the WB to the Federal Ministry of Finance (MOF). The project aimed at supporting the recovery of livelihoods & infrastructure in flood & drought affected areas & strengthening the capacity for disaster preparedness nationwide, has 5 components.

Component 1: Immediate basic services and livelihood support.
Component 2: Medium term flood recovery.
Component 3: Longer term disaster preparedness.
Component 4: Project management.
Component 5: Contingent emergency response.

The recovery interventions will focus on 3 flood affected Sates (Hirshabelle, South West State & Jubaland), while the longer term interventions will focus on a broader national coverage, enabling govt. capacity strengthening in Disaster Risk Management.
