MSB's Somalia programme for the period October 2014-September 2015 has three components: 1) Secondment of an Aid Coordinator to Somalia's Ministry of Finance; 2) Secondment of three experts to UNMAS; and 3) Secondment of a Humanitarian Aid Coordinator to the Informal Humanitarian Donor Group. The intervention has been requested by the embassy and the programme has been developed with a terms of reference from the embassy as a basis. Initially there was another component, regarding temporary offices to the Ministry of Health, included in the programme. Since it was recently discovered that there was uncertainties regarding the land ownership of the suggested construction site together with IDPs living there and comments by the embassy's Quality Assurance Committee regarding sustainability and ownership, it was decided that this component should not be implemented for the time being. The dialogue with the Ministry of Health continues and support might be provided through another implementing partner. This change implies that the risk profile of the programme is significantly reduced.

Objectives

The programme had three overall objectives:1) UNMAS: To enhance FGS capacity to mitigate explosive threats and improve weapons, ammunition and explosive management capacity. 2) Ministry of Finance: To increase MoF institutional capacity, functionality and efficiency to better serve as a coordinator and recipient of donor and tax revenues to the benefit and needs of the Somali people, with a particular focus on women and girls. 3) Humanitarian Aid Coordinator: To improve the quality and effectiveness of humanitarian action in Somalia in its capacity of benefit and needs of the Somali people, with a particular focus on women and girls.

General

Project seeks alternative means of improved livelihood strategies for traditional pastoralism by sensitization, trainings and advocacy. Specifically, the activities include sensitization and training in human rights, improvement of natural resources manage ment for sustainable pastoralism and conflict resolution skills to facilitate the co-existence and harmony between farmers and pastoralists. Skills to start and improve income generation activities embodied with entrepreneurship skills training and busines s development services are highly addressed, as well as cross cutting issues, land rights, environmental protection, food security and crop cultivation, hiv and aids and gender development. Pastoralism as a livelihood and lifestyle require mobility of past oralists with their cattle in search of pasture, water and salt licks. Population growth and growing need of farm land have diminished grazing areas and the situation causes conflicts between pastoralists and farmers. National policy processes reduce the c apacity for pastoralists to engage into meaningful livestock based livelihood practices. Most policies and laws of the land are designed to restrict the practice of pastoralism while at the same time converting land and other resources under pastoralism in to other uses. As outcome of the project, pastoralists? awareness and skills in alternative means of livelihood and income generating activities will be raised and sustainable and environmental friendly means of grazing livestock will be in use. Conflicts regarding land use will be reduced and pastoralists? legal ownership to land will be clarified and raised. Beneficiaries of the project are pastoralist and agro pastoralist members of the Maasai, Barabaig and Sukuma ethnic groups living in southern Tanzani an, specifically in Morogoro region. In phase 2015-2017 project will also put more emphasis on gender issues and persons with disabilities. Project is implemented by HIMWA (Development Services for the Pastoralists), which is a development organization of Maasai, Barabaig and Sukuma ethnic groups.
