rnrnLed the Somali program office and successfully managed the UNDP-fundedrnAssisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) program and rehabilitated arntotal of 3000 IDP HHs in six insecure districts of Somali regional state. Thernsix districts were highly insecure at that time. Because of that, it was commonrnpractice for us to use a military escort every time. In addition, we ensuredrnsocial cohesion and improved the livelihood options of the returnees throughrnthe implementation of the program. In addition, we developed and managedrnlivelihood recovery and enhancement projects and provided live animals,rndonkeys, and donkey carts for water and animal feed transportation.rnFurthermore, we initiated and managed the UNFAO-funded Improved AgriculturernSolution (IAS) project in Fedis and Midega Tola districts of East Haraghie andrnimproved the livelihoods of a total of 1800 (540 female-headed) resource-poorrnsmallholder farmers through Mung Beanrnproduction and marketing.

Achievements
rnrn
Initiatedrnand managed the OFDA/USAID-funded Market-Led Livelihood Recovery andrnEnhancement Program, which was operational in "Angacha",rnHalaba," and "Shashogo" districts of the Southern Nation andrnNationalist and People Region. Successfully led the Agriculture MarketingrnProgram (AMP). We first selected four value chains or subsectors (honey, potatoes, red pepper, and Haricot bean)rnbased on the agricultural potential of the three districts. After that, wernconducted a value chain analysis for each subsector and identified some of thernbottlenecks. From the value chain analysis, it was found that a shortage ofrnimproved agricultural technologies and a lack of market were the major problems.rnBecause of that, we organized honey, haricot bean, and pepper producers’rncooperatives in Halaba and Shashogo districts and potatoes and honey producers’rncooperatives in Angacha distinct. In addition, we provided the requiredrntraining and improved agricultural technologies such as improved seed, honeyrnextractors, improved beehives, and others. As a result of that, the livelihoodrnof the program beneficiaries has improved.
