Somali Region is one of the four major pastoral regions in Ethiopia that is located in the north eastern and south eastern part of the country. The population of the region is estimated at 5,748,998 (CSA, 2014) out of which 46 percent are females and the remaining 54 percent are males. The Average household size in the region is 6.6. The pastoral population of the region is estimated to be 85% and their livelihood activities are dependent on the livestock and natural resources. The three target woredas (Cheretti, Hargelle and Dolo Bay) identified for riverine fodder production are located in the Afdhere administrative zone and they are the most food insecure and poverty stricken woredas that have been classified as priority one hot spot for emergency and humanitarian response. In these pastoral areas, several people have been at the mercy consecutive drought and continuing acute food insecurity and malnutrition. To make their situation worse, the conflict that happened along the Somali-Oromia boundary exacerbated their livelihoods of the households by depleting their livelihood assets including their livestock. Through this project IR will respond to the urgent needs in agriculture/livestock by supporting the vulnerable pastoralist to involve in the Riverine Fodder Production and meet their food insecurity and household income. The project implementation will be facilitated through the emergency project team operating at Afdher coordination office.
