The United Nations in Somalia has been actively supporting the country’s development priorities, focusing on critical areas such as humanitarian aid, healthcare, and sustainable agriculture.
Addressing the Plight of IDPs
The construction of over 200 shelters aims to provide safe and stable living conditions for internally displaced persons (IDPs), who are among the most vulnerable populations in Somalia due to conflict, climate shocks, and economic instability.
Healthcare Improvements
The installation of a new oxygen generation plant is a significant step in strengthening Somalia’s healthcare infrastructure. This is particularly crucial in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and other respiratory health challenges, ensuring better access to life-saving medical resources.
Sustainable Irrigation
Enhancing sustainable irrigation systems supports agricultural development, which is vital for food security and economic stability in Somalia.
By improving water management, these efforts help farmers increase productivity and resilience against climate-related challenges.
These initiatives reflect the UN’s commitment to addressing both immediate humanitarian needs and long-term development goals in Somalia, contributing to the country’s recovery and stability.
