A national conference opened in Mogadishu on Sunday to discuss community-based response systems and strengthen solidarity among Somali communities in preparation for the potential impacts of El Niño.
The conference brings together government institutions and representatives from various sectors of Somali society to enhance cooperation, improve emergency response coordination and strengthen disaster preparedness.
Participants are discussing strategies to empower communities to respond collectively to emergencies and address the potential challenges posed by climate-related disasters.
The conference also reportedly seeks to strengthen early preparedness measures to reduce disaster risks, protect vulnerable communities and minimize potential losses associated with El Niño.
Discussions are expected to highlight the importance of community participation, coordinated interventions and timely information-sharing in responding effectively to climate-related emergencies.
Somalia remains vulnerable to extreme weather events, including droughts and floods, which can disrupt livelihoods, displace communities and worsen humanitarian conditions.
The conference aims to promote a coordinated approach that brings together government institutions and local communities to strengthen resilience and improve the country’s capacity to respond to potential climate-related emergencies.
