Specifically, the Action aims at supporting the development of food value chains by facilitating investments in affordable, clean, and modern energy and in climate adaptation solutions, which, if implemented well, should lead to substantial progress on SDG 7 (Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy). To achieve this, the Action will support the financing of private sector investments which can spur green economic development, together with relevant advisory services, technical assistance and training on renewable energy, agro-ecological approaches and nature-based solutions. The financing will be designed to catalyse systemic and sustainable changes in market systems and de-risk investment opportunities. The financial support to the private sector will be complemented by the provision of TVET programmes related to renewable energy and green skills. The intervention will seek to consolidate established collaboration with EU MS, with a view to scale-up the proposed Action with additional funding from EU MS. Given the very large investment needs across the country, the Action will also address some of the key challenges to development finance institutions (DFIs) investments in Somalia in the medium term and emphasise on the investment opportunities in Somalia in green energy. Preferred values chains for the Action will be livestock, sesame, and fisheries, although additional value chains in the circular economy could be considered.

BREACH - Boosting Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Change Somalia is very susceptible to climate change and extreme weather events and its population is highly vulnerable to its effects including loss of livestock, crop failure, food and water shortages, hunger and malnutrition, disease. In combination with pervasive instability and conflict, the consequences of climate change and related recurrent shocks, put the livelihoods of millions of Somalis at risk, which in turn causes further conflict of limited resources and the deterioration of the fragile state building development. Inadequate coping and recovery mechanisms worsen household vulnerability. With resources lost to hazards and/or utilized to cope, the capacities of most households and communities to re-establish their livelihoods are impaired and therefore unable to recover. In addition, due to unsustainable practices and poor management of natural resources such as river basins, forests and rangelands, traditional livelihoods in rural areas are eroding quickly which aggravates the possibility of conflict and internal displacement.As part of the Team Europe Initiative on a Green Deal and the implementation of the Great Green Wall Accelerator in Somalia, the Action will focus on climate change adaptation measures for both rural, urban and peri-urban populations in Somalia. The&nbsp;Action will support the development of sustainable food systems, enhancing the sustainability of consumption and production systems while simultaneously strengthening the resilience of target communities to the effects of climate change and supporting reforestation, renewable energy production and biodiversity. In addition, by strengthening the access to basic services and livelihood opportunities the Action will contribute to durable solutions to displacement, as displacement often increases the pressure on scarce resources and sensitive ecosystems. Consequently, the Action corresponds to Priority Area 2: ¿Inclusive and green economic growth¿ and Priority Area 3 ¿ Resilience Building and Social Inclusion¿ of the European Union¿s Multiannual Indicative Programme for Somalia for 2021-2027 and contributes to the implementation of SDG 13 on climate action and will have gender equality and women empowerment as a significant objective.
