This Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) aims to tackle the underlying structural challenges of food insecurity and reduce beneficiaries' vulnerability to unpredictable climate, crisis, and conflict events. It seeks to achieve this by rejuvenating Somalia's agri- livestock research institutions, seed systems, and extension services and developing community institutions that can anchor adaptation of climate-smart agri-livestock practices, strengthening the availability of water and improved rangelands management for resilient agriculture and livestock production; support animal health services, enhancing the integration of the production systems to domestic and regional markets, with appropriate investments in food safety and value addition, and establishing an enabling policy and institutional framework at a sub-national, national and regional level capable of supporting food systems resilience for Somalia. The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MOAI) and Ministry of Livestock Animal Husbandry are key Ministries in Puntland State of Somalia that are responsible of the primary production and livelihoods sector. The Ministries are mandated to contribute substantially to the development of the livelihood sector by promoting and developing a sustainable environment and modern agriculture and livestock and animal husbandry sector. Both Agriculture and Livestock are a very important livelihoods source and economic activity for many people in Puntland.
