Somalia

This strategy sets the government's vision for the water sector over the period 2021-2025. It formulates three goals: 1) Establishing a Functional Water Sector Governance Framework, 2) Operationalising Integrated Water Resources Management, and 3) Improving the Provision of Priority Water Services. It notably aims to respond to climate variability and its impacts on water resources management and development. The strategy is complemented by a roadmap to facilitate its implementation.

The National Drought Plan and the Drought Impact &amp; Needs Assessment and Recovery &amp; Resilience Framework are two separate, complementary documents. The Drought Plan seeks to provide Somalia with a system and mechanism to mitigate droughts and enable the establishment of a resilient society that can withstand the drought shocks. It focuses on the following strategic themes: 1) Drought Monitoring and Prediction, 2) Drought Impact assessment, 3) Drought Preparedness through sustainable use of Water, Land and Natural resources, and 4) Improving Emergency Drought Response. The Recovery and Resilience Framework aims to provide the basis for policymaking, institutionalisation and financing of recovery and long- term development. It is supported by the Drought Impact &amp; Needs Assessment that provides an assessment of drought damage and loss impacts and an estimation of recovery and resilience needs.

This document sets the government's plan to ensure economic growth and reduction of poverty within the next five years. It notably aims to increase the country's resilience to adverse effects of climate change, enhance water security and boost the production and use of renewable energy sources.

From Somalia's updated NDC: "The National Climate Change Policy, 2020 recently approved by Somalia Cabinet provides for the institutional arrangements for climate change. Some of these institutions are yet to be fully operationalized. The main entities established by the policy include: Directorate of Environment and Climate Change(DoECC)- The office situated in the Office of the Prime Minister has the mandate of formulation of federal level climate policies, coordination of activities by federal institutions, Federal Member States, local governments, international partners, and other stakeholders in the climate change. The office also serves as UNFCCC National Focal point and the National Designated Authority(NDA) for Green Climate Fund. 
 National Climate Change Committee (NCCC) - The NCCC has the mandate for coordinating and supervising the implementation of the climate change policy. The NCCC is a multi- stakeholder, high level policy coordination committee and is responsible for the overall coordination and supervision of climate change activities in Somalia. It comprises the Prime Minister (or his designate), DG of the Directorate of Environment &amp; Climate Change, Sectoral Ministries, Directors of Governmental Agencies, Member States’ Ministers for Environment, the private sector and civil society organizations. 
 Cross-Sectoral Committee on Climate Change (CSCC) – The CSCC brings together the officials from across government working on climate change; for information exchange, consultation, agreement and support among the spheres of government regarding climate change and government’s response to climate change. It will be chaired by the DG of the Directorate of Environment &amp; Climate Change. Representatives could be at DG levels. The primary roles of the CSCCC are as follows: a) Serve as a cross-sector forum for the exchange of ideas, including the provision of updates on ongoing and planned climate change initiatives. b) Coordinate and advise sector-specific and cross-sector implementation of activities, and advise on monitoring and evaluation outcomes as well as future directions of the NCCP; and c) Address the cross-cutting and social aspects of climate change. 
 Key stakeholders in climate change planning and implementation in Somalia recognized by the policy include: Federal Sectoral Ministries Federal Member State Governments, Civil Society Organizations and private sector. 
 A comprehensive analysis of the state of the country’s climate change institutions during the NDC updating process revealed structural and systemic weaknesses in the institutional bedrock. This include lack the necessary capacity to address climate change and its associated challenges, financial weaknesses, the dearth of appropriate policies and inability to enforce laws. Moreover, most of the institutions suffer from a considerable deficiency in human, financial, organizational, and institutional capacity to manage the environment and natural resources and respond to the specific challenges that climate change brought to Somalia."

The guiding principles are: - Promote the development of integrated and harmonized policies and strategies for recovery, resilience and disaster risk management, by supporting flexible and adaptive strate- gies to address national development prior- ities that are climate-smart, environmentally friendly, gender-sensitive and addressing the drivers of displacement; - Strengthen coordination of interventions among stakeholders and aid harmonization, and setting uniform and consistent stan- dards for the implementation of the recov- ery program; - Promote bottom-up needs based planning at the state and federal levels that support par- ticipatory inter-governmental planning pro- cesses and ownership by all affected groups; - Establish robust monitoring and evaluation mechanisms for disaster recovery at the pro- grammatic and project levels; and -&nbsp; Ensure adequate sequencing, avoid critical gaps and maximise financing available for recovery and resilience building through developing interlinked projects for resilient recovery, and leveraging predictable investments, while ensuring inclusiveness.</div><div>
