try for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) with a current project duration of approximately three years (11/2023 - 09/2026). The project region is Kismayo district, lower Juba region, Somalia. Somalia is still marked by the aftermath of three decades of civil war. The average young population suffers from poverty and high unemployment. Women, children and minorities, whose rights are further restricted, are particularly hard hit. In addition, there are recurring extreme weather events, such as droughts, floods, and cyclones, which destroy livelihoods and infrastructure. The loss of livelihoods is causing widespread internal displacement. More than 2.6 million people are currently Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), migrating predominantly to urban centres which are unable to provide adequate services to either IDPs or the resident population. The difficult humanitarian situation is exacerbated by the increased number of Somali refugees voluntarily returning from Kenya. In the Southern part of the country (Lower Juba), the situation is particularly precarious: 43 % of the population is considered poor and 40 % is food insecure. Due to limited resources (food, water, access to land, income-generating opportunities), basic services for the entire population in Kismayo and the neighbouring villages are continuously critical
