OTP REGISTRAR

Somali Lifeline Organization (SOLO) is a national humanitarian and development organization

deliver principled, locally-led and accountable programmes across various sectors such as Health

and Nutrition, Protection and Gender-Based Violence, Water Sanitation and Hygiene, Food Security

and Livelihoods, Multipurpose Cash Assistance, Education, Peacebuilding, Climate Resilience and

Anticipatory Action. Through established field teams and operational offices, community partnerships

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Somali Lifeline Organization (SOLO), in partnership with Secours Islamique France (SIF), is implementing

Integrated Nutrition, Food Assistance and Resilient Livelihood Support for Crisis-Affected Vulnerable

Communities in Jubaland State (NOURISH-Somalia). The project is funded under the French Initiative for

Food Security and Nutrition (FIFSAN) and runs for 24 months, from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028,

in Kismayo, Dhobley and Jamaame districts.

Recurrent drought, flooding, conflict and displacement have left many households in these districts,

especially IDPs, women and young children, short of food and of health and nutrition services. Recent cuts

in humanitarian funding have reduced coverage of life-saving nutrition programmes further.

The project will reach 42,975 people directly, at least 65% of them women and girls. It combines nutrition

services, nutrition-sensitive food vouchers and El Niño preparedness, and livelihood support through

farming, livestock and women-led savings groups. SOLO leads the nutrition component, serving 16,468

children under two and 5,546 pregnant and lactating women (PLW):

Services are delivered with the Jubaland Ministry of Health and handed over to it progressively before the

project ends.
