Madam, Sir,

Welthungerhilfe is one of the largest private aid organizations in Germany and has no political nor religious affiliations. It was established in 1962 as the German chapter of the Freedom from Hunger campaign, which was led by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and is one of the first global initiatives in the fight against hunger. From rapid disaster relief to reconstruction and long-term development cooperation projects with local partners, Welthungerhilfe provides assistance from a single source. Since its foundation, WHH has provided 2.25 billion EUR of funding for more than 6,600 projects in 70 countries. Welthungerhilfe has been active in Somaliland since 2001 (Currently operates Awdal, Waqooyi-Galbeed, Togdheer and Sool Regions) and has expanded into South/Central Somalia through the cooperation with local implementing partners. Whilst Welthungerhilfe’s’ strategic focus is on building resilience and strengthening local humanitarian leadership, our 2023-2024 activities seek to respond to the present drought crisis through humanitarian relief. Welthungerhilfe has active projects in Mudug, Galagudd, Gedo and plans to expand its intervention in Bay and Hiran regions. The core areas of work in South central Somalia include Humanitarian emergency assistance, Food Security, Resilience programs-agriculture, WASH and infrastructure restoration and rehabilitation.

For this project, Welthungerhilfe (WHH) has secured funding from the European Union for Lot 3: Reforestation, afforestation & land restoration in areas adjacent to Burao, Somaliland, with an overarching goal to contribute to systemic climate-change resilience, food, fodder and water security in vulnerable communities in Burao, Somaliland.
