Project Summary

Adeso is currently implementing a climate change adaptation project- Sustainable Coastal Restoration and Development for Somalia (SCRD) Phase III in Lasqoray District, Sanaag region.

The project’s main objectives are to
promote sustainable coastal habitat restoration and to alleviate poverty through date palms and mangrove as well as indigenous trees restoration, construction of fishing technology, solar powered irrigation systems for poor farmers, and to improve awareness among the communities of the importance of the coastal habitat, by focusing on effective
solutions to address the development and ecological needs of communities necessary for climate change adaptation.

The project will assess understanding of climate change in coastal communities, and their understanding about climate, the challenges and opportunities faced by pastoralists in managing climate risks, as well as their adaptive capacity for the future.

The assignment is to raise community level awareness on climate change and capacity to plan and implement adaptation strategies.

It involves supporting the project team to develop and implement community level participatory assessments on climate change and its effects and impacts on community livelihoods, followed by participatory
community adaptation action plans development which will ensure that they can gain economically from their local
resources including marine, tree based ecosystems and other resources, while preserving the environment for future
generations.

Capacity building will enable the needs and aspirations of the local communities to be included in the adaptation plans.
