Applicability of Nature-based Solutions for Flood and Drought Management in Somalia

The Ministry of Energy and Water Resources (MOEWR) in collaboration with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is carrying out the project “Sustainable Flood Management and Risk Reduction Action”, ongoing from August 2021 to March 2022. The project is funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), which also included a component of implementing flood mitigation interventions carried out by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). This report documents the project's research on applicability of Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for flood and drought mitigation, with emphasis on flood mitigation. The data outputs of the project are available via the project online resource www.jubashabelletmo.org. This portal was used to disseminate findings during the workshop programme chaired by MOEWR. It has served as a key interface between the stakeholders and the project team.
