 The spread of COVID-19 in conflict-affected areas of Somalia exposes the fragile link between public health and food security. In the fertile riverine tract of Lower Chabelle, the so-called breadbasket of Somalia near Mogadishu, recent episodes of violence and flooding have uprooted communities of farmers. Rising levels of displacement among cultivating communities in an otherwise arid country disrupts Somalia's fragile agricultural supply chain. As more and more people are forced to seek safety elsewhere, the risk for the transmission of COVID-19 also rises, adding a strain to Somalia's overburdened and under-resourced healthcare system. In partnership with local authorities, IOM is developing a stabilization package to help farmers safely return to their fields and generate income while they work to clear and secure roads and rehabilitate irrigation canals. These efforts aim to shore up agricultural supply chains by revitalizing irrigated farming, building drought resilience, securing crucial arteries for transport and trade, and ultimately restoring trust in local authorities. Keeping farmers safe and catalyzing local economies in Somalia also ensures displaced communities can better recover from the impact of COVID-19 so that the most vulnerable are not left further behind.
