National Consultancy - Technical Facilitator and Supervisor on Urban Resilience

Background/Project Description

Climate change significantly impacts Somalia with rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns, and more
frequent extreme weather events like floods and droughts. These changes threaten urban areas and nearby
communities, leading to long-term social and economic consequences. The lack of adequate adaptation
strategies and climate-resilient infrastructure exacerbates these issues.
Somalia's rapid urbanization, with 45% of the population living in urban areas and Mogadishu alone hosting
10%, faces challenges such as unplanned growth, weak infrastructure, and high climate risk exposure.
Urban areas contribute 75% of Somalia's GDP, making them crucial yet vulnerable to climate impacts.
Somalia is the second most susceptible country globally to climate change, with a projected 128% increase
in climate-induced disasters, including urban floods.
To address these challenges, a proposed project aims to introduce an integrated adaptation approach using
Nature-based Solutions (NbS). This approach will enhance urban systems' resilience and improve
vulnerable communities' adaptive capacity. The project will focus on restoring ecosystems, working with
urban and peri-urban communities, local authorities, and the private sector to promote sustainable practices.
It will also develop strategies and policies for urban planning and NbS, supported by innovative finance
mechanisms to encourage private sector investment and job creation.
