About the project WARDI is implementing anticipatory action and climate resilience along The transhumance corridor project funded by DANIDA in Afgio, Wanlaweyn, and Burhakaba, Somalia Somalia faces a multifaceted humanitarian crisis due to climate events, inter-clan disputes, and governance issues. This has severely impacted the pastoral and agro pastoral communities, jeopardizing their food security and livelihoods. Over 65% of Somalias workforce relies on pastoralism, underpinning 80% of the countrys annual exports. While pastoralists have traditionally navigated extreme climates through long-distance livestock migrations, this crucial resilience is now under threat, as climate change, over-grazing, unsustainable habits, and conflict disrupt seasonal routines of livestock corridors.
