Under the BREACH Project funded by the European Union through Somali Resilience Program (SomReP), Shaqodoon in collaboration with CARE conducted a vibrant training program for key community committee teams from #Qoryaale, #Qoyta, and #Suuqsade from July 18th to 19th, 2024. The committees will lead crowdfunding campaigns for crucial community projects such as road rehabilitation and floods management protection. Held in Burao, participants received training in accountable and transparent project management and financial governance for community contributions to Contingency Plans and #CAAPs. The #BREACH Project aims to create opportunities for IDPs and refugee returnees to participate in public affairs and decision-making processes, enhance access to basic services, and link communities to local governments. These activities are crucial for building #communityresilience and promoting #sustainabledevelopment.

As part of the EU #BREACH project activities, Shaqodoon on Thursday attended an engaging and dynamic design workshop focused on upgrading the existing Mobile Early Warning System (#MEWS). Teams from Shaqodoon, Somali Resilience Program (SomReP), NADFOR and SOS Children's Villages Somaliland came together to discuss the system and brainstorm innovative upgrades and outcomes. The session was lively and interactive, with participants exploring challenges faced by the current system and proposing solutions from various perspectives, including NGOs, the community, technical teams, and government agencies. Additionally, the team had the chance to pay a visit to NADFOR's current action room, where they got to see the current system in action. This hands-on experience provided invaluable context and inspiration for potential upgrades. Shaqodoon, known for its expertise in developing cutting-edge technological solutions, contributed valuable insights into enhancing the #MEWS. Our team highlighted the importance of integrating community feedback and leveraging advanced technologies to create a more robust and responsive early warning system.

From June 30th to July 4th, 2024, we held an intensive training session for Community Mobilizers in Dollow. This training, part of the #EURiverine Project, aims to enhance food production and improve market access for farmers in Dollow, Afgooye, Luuq, and Bulla Burte. Our mobilizers are now equipped with essential skills, including mastery of the innovative M-Dalag platform and IVR prompts, understanding of crop pests and diseases, and reinforcement of our Adult and Child safeguarding policies. This initiative is vital in our efforts to build a stronger, more resilient agricultural community in Somalia. Somali Resilience Program (SomReP) European Union In Somalia
