Our Approach

Agriculture supports nearly 70% of Somalia's population and contributes 60–65% of GDP. CPD bridges the gap between current productivity and untapped potential through climate resilience, market-driven value chains, and institutional strengthening.

How We Work

  • Climate-Smart Farming:  Roll out drought-tolerant seeds and solar-powered irrigation across the Shabelle and Juba basins targeting 50% yield increase.
  • Post-Harvest & Value Chains:  Reduce 30–40% losses through cold-storage hubs and digital marketplaces connecting farmers directly to buyers.
  • Institutional Support:  Strengthen cooperatives, deliver extension services, and advise government on seed certification and rural finance.

Where We Work

Our Goal
