Thanks to FAO and with funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), food producing communities in Jowhar District have improved household food security through the Building Resilience in Middle Shabelle (BRiMS) project. The project is aimed at increasing resilience of rural livelihoods to threats and crisis and helped small holder famers to access a reliable water supply from the Shabelle river to irrigation canals where they cultivate their crops.

Through local implementing partners and in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation, FAO also assisted farmers to establish community groups, provided irrigation services, training in Good Agricultural Practices and better access to markets through the rehabilitation of bridges and walkways across the Shabelle River and the connected canal network.
