MAGAN is strategically planning an initiative to introduce foreign crop varieties and innovative farming techniques to five expansive, arid regions in Somaliland. The aim is to assist the most vulnerable populations in adapting to and mitigating the detrimental impacts of climate change on their livelihoods.

By implementing this initiative, MAGAN seeks to achieve the following objectives:

1. Enhancing Climate Resilience: MAGAN aims to enhance the resilience of vulnerable populations in the face of climate change by introducing crop varieties and farming techniques that are better suited to withstand drought, heat, and other extreme weather conditions.

2. Improving Food Security: Through the introduction of diverse crop varieties and innovative farming techniques, MAGAN strives to improve food security in the targeted regions, ensuring a more stable and sustainable food supply for the vulnerable populations.

3. Promoting Sustainable Agriculture: MAGAN is committed to promoting sustainable agricultural practices that conserve water, protect soil health, and minimize negative environmental impacts, contributing to long-term agricultural sustainability.

4. Empowering Local Communities: MAGAN aims to empower local communities by providing them with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to implement and manage the introduced crop varieties and farming techniques, enabling them to take ownership of their agricultural practices.

5. Facilitating Economic Opportunities: By diversifying agricultural production and increasing productivity, MAGAN intends to create economic opportunities for vulnerable populations, improving their income-generating potential and reducing their reliance on external aid.

Through this initiative, MAGAN envisions a future where vulnerable populations in the targeted regions of Somaliland are better equipped to adapt to the challenges posed by climate change, ensuring their resilience, food security, and sustainable livelihoods.
