WFP Somalia

Healthy soil & water security are the foundation of resilient food systems. In #Somalia, @WFP invests in soil regeneration & water smart farming - from agroforestry to earthworks - which improves food security by helping communities adapt to droughts & floods. #UNFSS2025

📢 We're going live tomorrow! Join us Tuesday 29 July at 9:00 AM EAT for the IGNITE Food Systems Challenge Demo Day - celebrating bold ventures advancing Somalia’s food systems. Meet the innovators driving local impact with smart and scalable solutions. 💡🇸🇴 Stay tuned!

Greetings from Ethiopia! Kicking off this crucial week at #UNFSS2025 surrounded by people who are working with and for stronger food systems. Honored to have planted this avocado tree to mark this important moment.

📢 GSD, in partnership with @AdaptNexus & @MOFASomalia, is proud to host the second online forum on Somalia’s climate crisis & diaspora-led solutions. Please mark your calendar and join us in this valuable forum on: Saturday, 1–3 pm UK time, 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM Somalia Time.

#Somalia’s smallholder farmers like Fartun are being empowered to face droughts and floods. With support from @WFP, they are adopting farming practices that boost productivity, strengthen local economies, and enhance community resilience. #UNFSS2025 @FoodSystems

Without food security, families are forced to flee, tensions grow, and insecurity spreads. 🌍At least 319M people face acute food insecurity today. Tens of millions are at risk of extreme hunger. What is food security - and how is WFP working to protect it? 👇

#Somalia is battling hunger worsened by repeated droughts and floods which wipe out harvests. Thanks to KOICA's support, @WFP is empowering vulnerable communities to build resilience through sustainable farming, land restoration, and access to credit and insurance.

#Somalia is facing extreme weather patterns-but women-led communities are paving the way with innovative, bold and local solutions. In this powerful #OhCrop! episode, @WFP Somalia’s @fausto_andreia takes us into the heart of Somalia’s food systems. 🎙️👇 open.spotify.com/episode/2aynsp…

With support from @eu_echo, @WFP_UNHAS is investing in rehabilitating the Luq airstrip & strengthening infrastructure development capacity in #Somalia. Once complete, the upgraded airstrip will improve humanitarian access & the delivery of assistance to those who need it most.

In #Somalia, late-season rains have displaced more families, over 84,000 people are affected. Many have been uprooted multiple times this year, trapped in a cycle of extreme weather and hunger. @WFP’s @Lina_M_AhAli shares how we are responding ⤵️

With thanks to funding from @KSRelief_EN 🇸🇦, Khadija and her family were able to start each morning with dates — a simple addition to their breakfast to strengthen their food security and well-being

Honoured to meet H.E. Amb. Ahmed Jumaa Alremeithi at the @UAEEmbassyMog for a constructive exchange on strengthening collaboration. We discussed shared priorities, including @WFP’s school feeding programme as an investment in human capital, and long-term development in #Somalia.

In #Somalia, @WFP is working to strengthen food security – ensuring families facing hunger get the support they need, when they need it most. Thanks to partners like @cooperaciocat, WFP delivers lifesaving cash assistance – giving communities flexibility to meet essential needs.

Acting early saves lives, livelihoods and reduces food insecurity in #Somalia. @WFP reached 2.34M people with early warning messages and nearly 300,000 people with emergency cash transfers ahead of severe flooding in 2023 and 2024. Learn more 👇 🔗reliefweb.int/report/somalia…

Great pleasure to host Ambassador Mirko Giuletti, the Swiss delegation from @SwissEmbassyKE & @KSRelief_EN for a field visit in Dolow. We visited some of our project sites and spoke with people on the path to recovery. Inspired and thankful to all for your strong commitment.

Farhia, a farmer from Jowhar, left her home earlier this year after two failed harvests in 2024. Her story depicts the multiple crises contributing to rising hunger in the country, and the toll of displacement. Read the full story here: wfp.org/stories/somali…

❗️📢In May 2025, we reached 1.1 million people w/ vital support & distributed over 2,044 metric tons of food assistance. Yet, from July to Dec 2025, @WFP Somalia faces a US$ 266 million funding gap across all activities. Read more: reliefweb.int/report/somalia…

“When there’s no drought, the food might be enough. But last year, the production was terrible,” said Farhia, a former farmer now displaced for the first time ever. She’s one of 3.9M uprooted by conflict, drought and hunger in Somalia. Read her story: wfp.org/stories/somali…
