With the current 2020 coronavirus pandemic that affected the whole world it has aggravated the socio-economic foundation that was being developed in Somalia under the new governance. The majority of the population of the Somalia communities are unable to sustain their daily livelihoods due to the high poverty levels and new restrictions imposed by the government for the control of pandemics such as lockdowns etc. 

The government report’s 11% decline in nominal GDP for 2020. Other reports by the United Nation indicate that 40% of the families receive remittances from relatives and friends living abroad for their livelihoods, which is estimated to decline by 50%.

The schools are about to be opened and some of the school in the region lack clean water and proper sanitations. The most learning environment lack basic hygiene facilities including sanitizers, soaps, masks, and water will lead to increase in spread virus affecting the children in school, which ultimately results disruption of learning process.

Through the project’s interventions, 600 households (displaced from Hawotako and Koshin neighborhoods in Beletweyne) affected by floods, all of whom were vulnerable due to age, gender, economic and health status were protected against the threat of contracting AWD by ensuring consumption of safe water that the project supplied.

Immediate food access for 200 hunger-affected households provided through the unrestricted cash transfer of DKK 966 for two months. 

Hygiene and Sanitation practices improved at both the household and community levels, leading to significant reduction in AWD. This was made possible by the two-pronged strategy adopted by the project: -facilitating trained Hygiene promoters to raise community’s level of hygiene and sanitation practices through effective communication, and by providing 900 households with basic hygiene and sanitation kits that allowed them to practice appropriate hygiene and sanitation.
