Mogadishu, (SONNA) –<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>A technical consultation workshop was held in Mogadishu, Somalia on January 26-28, 2023, with government Ministries, Depart<\/span><\/span>ments, and Agencies, as well as Humanitarian and Development partners, on the preparation and development of a systematic Food Securi<\/span><\/span>ty Crisis Preparedness Plan (FSCPP). Director Generals and technical representatives from government Ministries, Department<\/span><\/span>s, and Agencies from Agriculture and Irrigation, Planning, Investment, and Economic Development, <\/span><\/span>Somalia <\/span><\/span>Disaster Management Agency, <\/span><\/span>Livestock Range and Forestry, Fisheries and Blue Economy, <\/span><\/span>Somalia National Bureau of Statistics, <\/span><\/span>as well as partners from F<\/span><\/span>AO, <\/span><\/span>UNICEF<\/span><\/span>, and Civil Society Consortia organizations, attended the <\/span><\/span>technical<\/span><\/span>worksho<\/span><\/span>p<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This workshop builds on bilateral consultati<\/span><\/span>ons held by the government over the last few months to develop Somalia’s Food Security Crisis Preparedness Plan (FSCPP) und<\/span><\/span>er the stewardship of the Ministries of Agriculture and<\/span><\/span> Irrigation;<\/span><\/span> Planning, Investment, and Economic Development, <\/span><\/span>and <\/span><\/span>in collaborat<\/span><\/span>ion with the World Bank and other partners through the Somalia Crisis Recovery Project (SCRP).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The consultation workshop w<\/span><\/span>hich involved both technical and policy level government officials<\/span><\/span> include<\/span><\/span>d<\/span><\/span> technical-level collaborations<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>provide<\/span><\/span>d<\/span><\/span> an opportunit<\/span><\/span>y for<\/span><\/span> the government institutions and<\/span><\/span> partners to come together to review the working draft of the plan, help refine its pr<\/span><\/span>oposed arrangements, and build consensus on next steps and the timeline for operationalizing the plan<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span>T<\/span><\/span>he FSCPP is a national plan t<\/span><\/span>hat seeks to mitigate the impacts of acute shocks that can significantly worsen <\/span><\/span>acute <\/span><\/span>food <\/span><\/span>in<\/span><\/span>security conditions in <\/span><\/span>the cou<\/span><\/span>ntry<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Plan development process is government-led and owned, and it allows stakeholders to contribute to the FSCPP while <\/span><\/span>leveraging existing systems where possible. It also serves as a living document for building capacity and ownership of national ins<\/span><\/span>titutions over time, and it includes three core elements<\/span><\/span>, namely<\/span><\/span>:<\/span><\/span> Element 1<\/span><\/span>: <\/span><\/span>The FSCPP details the operational arrangements f<\/span><\/span>or continuously monitoring and quickly identifying food and nutrition security crises;<\/span><\/span> Element 2<\/span><\/span>: <\/span><\/span>The FSCPP details the operationa<\/span><\/span>l arrangements for convening programmatic leads in a timely way across Government, humanitarian, and development partners to <\/span><\/span>assess emerging crisis risks and scale up early action; and<\/span><\/span> Element 3<\/span><\/span>: <\/span><\/span>The FSCPP details the operational arrangements and protocols<\/span><\/span>for convening senior officials to help collectively recognize an emerging crisis and bridge operational and funding gaps.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A<\/span><\/span>s part of the next steps, <\/span><\/span>further <\/span><\/span>follow up consultations will be held <\/span><\/span>over the coming months <\/span><\/span>to further refine and <\/span><\/span>detail the oper<\/span><\/span>ational arrangements <\/span><\/span>as may be required<\/span><\/span>\u2013 including agency specific roles and responsibilities, timelines, protocols, etc. \u2013 f<\/span><\/span>or monitoring food security and nutrition crisis risks, scaling up programmatic responses to prevent and mitigate food security and<\/span><\/span> nutrition crisis conditions, and escalating additional financing and programmatic needs to senior decision makers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span><\/span>pla<\/span><\/span>n<\/span><\/span> brings together preparedness elements into a cohesive operational<\/span><\/span> framework to support the systematic recognition of an emerging <\/span><\/span>crisis and prompt timely joined-up action across <\/span><\/span>government, <\/span><\/span>humanitarian<\/span><\/span>, and development partners to prevent and mitigate t<\/span><\/span>he impacts of future FNS crises. While the FSCPP is a <\/span><\/span>World <\/span><\/span>Bank<\/span><\/span> requirement associated with receiving support from the E<\/span><\/span>arly <\/span><\/span>R<\/span><\/span>espo<\/span><\/span>nse <\/span><\/span>F<\/span><\/span>inancing<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>it <\/span><\/span>extends beyond the World Bank\u2019s engagement and <\/span><\/span>represents the country\u2019s national plan<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The plan is <\/span><\/span>expected to be completed in September 2023, following formal endorsement by the Federal Government of Somalia and other relevant \/ major f<\/span><\/span>ood security partners leading programmatic responses in the country.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
