The Agricultural Development Organization

methodology, which is the core philosophy inherent in ADO’s development approach.
ADO’s approach is an innovative community-based participatory learning approach
that empowers marginalized groups to be engaged in areas that affect their lives.
However, ADO also strongly collaborates with the Environment Network, Human
Rights Network, and Food Security Network. Currently, the organization is in close
partnership with European Union, Darwin Initiative, UNDP, UNHCR, ISF Finland,
UN SHF, Development Fund (DF), Norway, and KNH Germany. For the past three
decades, ADO has made sustainable changes to the livelihoods of the rural
communities, cyclone and drought-affected people, people with disabilities, women,
and youth living in Somaliland. The programmatic areas of ADO targets:
1. Increasing access to assets: land, water, and human capital;
2. Making smallholder farmers more productive;
3. Improving access to financial services;
4. Enhancing the performance of producer organizations;
5. Enhancing human knowledge to adapt and mitigate climate changes, stressors,
and shocks;
6. Promoting agricultural extension, innovation to science research, and
technology.
2. Project Background
In partnership with the International Solidarity Foundation (ISF), ADO had
established cooperation and partnership through the project named “Enhancing Agropastoral Communities’ Livelihood Resilience in Togdheer Region, Somaliland.” In
2016 – 2021. The project had introduced and utilized Climate-Smart Agriculture
approaches. This approach guides actions needed to transform and reorient
agricultural systems to effectively support the development and ensure food security
in a changing climate. ADO applied this approach to tackle poverty and food
insecurity applying the Climate Smart Agriculture approach to increasing agricultural
productivity and incomes of Beer farmers, adapting and building resilience to climate
change, and adapting and mitigating the adverse climate change effects.
In collaboration with ISF, ADO had successfully implemented positive and impactful
projects in the Beer and Beerato villages of the Togdheer region to tackle poverty and
increase crop production capacities. While reducing food insecurity, adaptation to
climate change and mitigation empowered women by providing viable diversified
economic sources (i.e., vegetable production and savings) using the smart agriculture
technology of greenhouse farming technology and self-help group approach.
The direct project beneficiaries were 400 farmer households living in Beer and 200
persons who directly benefited from the project through training, community seed
banking, and village committees empowered and capacitated via resource
management, climate change adaptation, and conflict resolution pieces of training.
Therefore, ADO and ISF plan to procure one brand new machine of 4 Ton LW400FV
wheel loader for the Beer Janaale farmer cooperative in the Togdheer region. The main
objective of procuring this machine is to rehabilitate/excavate dams, construct and
rehabilitate canals, perform land clearance, and soil bunds construction in Beer for the
Janaal farmer cooperative. The ADO will pay the fund for procuring this machine
using the ISF project funds of 65%. In comparison, the Janaale farmer cooperative

project’s sustainability and create a sense of ownership among the project
beneficiaries
