1-Brief Introduction.
Burao is the regional capital of Togdher and the second largest city in Somaliland. Burao
was and, still is, a major LS trade centre or route in the region and services many pastoral
tribes and LS producers, Pastoralists, in various eastern regions. Due to this long standing
relations and connections with rural pastoralists, Burao is attracting many failing/former
pastoralists and rural communities. As well as many struggling and least well of pastoral
families who rear small LS not far from the city, and few LS husbandry activities.
2-Context
The following problems are already in effect or expected to take a tighter grip on
the target community in the near future if situation is not addressed:
• Severe and increased shortage of animal feed resources for vulnerable
pastoral and urban families, and local SH.
• Increased livelihood uncertainties among the affected poor pastoral
households due to depletion of herd size created by the lack of access to
natural/common and affordable feed resources..
• The expensive folder/grass siphoned large portion of the family budget and
may result sales of productive assets
• Possible out break of livestock diseases due to lack of feed/folder and
nutrition, Camels in particular, which require large quantities of feed and are
vital for pastoralists way of life.
3. Interventions
3.1 Objectives
Main goal
The overall goal of the project is to increase AFR production and availability for
all local SH in the region (Togdher), particularly for vulnerable poor semi-pastoral
and urban households/communities during dry and distress periods and seasons.
Specific objectives
• Provide AFR production expert attachments and technical support to MLF
and one/two selected local producers/fields in Burao
• Help with relevant and appropriate farming equipment and assistance
• Improve present local producers’ capacity, knowledge, know-how, skills
and ability to further develop and expand AFR production in future.
• Improve health condition of Livestock/Animals and reduce vulnerability to
diseases due to lack of nutrition through provision of adequate AFR
availability.
The project will and intent to deploy two parallel components or approaches to ensure
local availability and increased production of relevant affordable feed and mineral
resources for LS and local SH in the region.
3.2.1-The project will support and engage present local feed producers in and around
Burao, Maandeeq in particular, through the provision of Dry-Land Farming expert
attachment/s and appropriate technical inputs- equipment, water and irrigation systems
etc.
In return for project support, selected producer/s will be required to sell discounted or
subsidized quantity of harvested feed to local SH. As well as exploring schemes to
provide free feed to most poor families/communities during distress periods.
3.2.2-The project will also support, engage and encourage above local producers to
develop and explore ways of importing affordable and appropriate animal feed and
mineral resources, if and when possible.
UB will sign a MOU with MLF and other selected producers. The following are
highlights of the implementation procedure:
The project will start its core activities with preparation of contract agreement and
Memoranda of Understanding with MLF and other selected producers.
