The project, which includes a 19-kilometer pipeline, was funded through the Lowlands Livelihood Resilience Project (LLRP), a multi-phase initiative supported by the World Bank and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to enhance climate resilience in pastoralist communities.<\/p>\n
Ibrahim Osman Farah, Vice President of the Somali Regional State, led the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday. He noted that the new infrastructure would provide long-term relief to a district historically plagued by acute water shortages.<\/p>\n
