Integrated critical lifesaving response to vulnerable people affected by drought  through WASH, Agriculture, Nutrition, Health and Food assistance in Adadle woreda of Shebelle zone, Somali Region (Envelope 2). Organization for welfare and Development in Action (OWDA) is proposing an Integrated multi-sectoral lifesaving response project to drought-affected communities through WASH, Agriculture, Health, Nutrition and Food interventions in Adadle District of Shabelle zone, Somali Region under Envelope 2. This project is aimed at providing immediate lifesaving assistance to the most vulnerable people who are unable to meet their basic needs and have no or limited access to essential services due to the extreme drought impacting their entire livelihoods. The project will provide access to WASH, livestock inputs, nutrition supplements as well as enhanced primary health care services to deliver food-nutrition-sensitive interventions in health facilities for households with acutely malnourished children.  Adadle Woreda is one of the most severely affected woredas in Shebelle zone with successive droughts. The woreda has an estimated population of 125,996 (64,259 males and 61,737 females), of which 75% of them are rural people and pastoralists. Multi-sectoral integrated approach (WASH, Agriculture, Nutrition, Health and Food) is proposed considering the strategic paper to provide efficient and effective support for drought-affected communities with limited resources to bring durable solutions for the affected communities. In addition, education, and cross-cutting issues (AAP, Gender, GBV and PSEA) will be mainstreamed across all interventions.


Communities across the target Woreda are facing a devastating drought, the worst in forty years as it has compromised the fragile livelihoods of pastoralists who were mainly reliant on livestock. The worsened food insecurity and nutrition situation has also eroded their coping strategies. The proposed project activities are multisectoral activities aimed at providing comprehensive intervention to help support the most vulnerable populations affected by multiple crises. The proposed activities are as follows: 
Rehabilitation of water schemes 
Emergency lifesaving water trucking
