- Project Name: Baseline Survey – Response to Droughts in Hiran Region – Somalia
- Project Partner: Danish Emergency Relief Fund (DERF) | Development Action Network (DAN)
Tropical Consult has undertaken several activities to address the humanitarian crisis caused by the drought in Somalia. In the first phase, they prepared an inception report that outlined the work plan and methodology for assessing the impact of the drought. This report provided a framework for the subsequent activities conducted by the organization.
In the second phase, Tropical Consult conducted a rapid assessment and data collection exercise in the Hiran region of Hirshabelle state, which has been severely affected by the drought. The purpose of this assessment was to gather information on the specific needs and challenges faced by the communities in the region. They collected data on food security, water availability, livestock conditions, and the overall well-being of the affected population. Following the data collection, Tropical Consult conducted a thorough analysis to understand the severity of the situation and identify the most urgent needs of the drought-affected communities. Based on the findings, they prepared a detailed report that highlighted the key findings, assessed the impact of the drought, and provided recommendations for appropriate interventions to address the immediate needs of the affected communities. These efforts aimed to provide a clear understanding of the drought’s impact and support the implementation of timely and effective interventions to alleviate the humanitarian needs of the affected population.
