The Somali Resilience Program (SomReP) is a members-led resilience consortium whose objective is to build the capacity of pastoralist, agro-pastoralist, fisherfolk and peri-urban host and internally displaced persons (IDP) communities. We focus on women, youth and people with disability to mitigate the impact of natural and man-made shocks and stressors, adapt to climate change, as well as diversify and adopt sustainable livelihood strategies. Following the Somali famine of 2011, NGOs and donors mobilized best practice and expertise to co-create an area- based, multi-sector design with interventions spanning the humanitarian, recovery, development and peace nexus. Building on member's long-term commitment to vulnerable communities, SomReP employs graduation pathways to layer and sequence interventions over five-year periods to build absorptive, adaptive and set the foundation for transformative capacities. SomReP works directly with communities, in partnership with government and local civil society and private sector in disaster risk management, safety net strengthening, agricultural recovery and climate change adaptation, natural resource management, assets development, inclusive market systems and economic empowerment, health and protection systems support, gender mainstreaming and social inclusion. Practicing adaptive management, the consortium undertakes annual resilience measurements to understand the effectiveness of program interventions. The consortium also monitors exposure to shock that informs the use of its crisis modifier mechanism to protect resilience gains, livelihoods and save lives. Since inception, the consortium has worked in 22 districts with members' operational presence enabling countrywide coverage. SomReP hosts platforms, including the Somali Response Innovation Lab (SomRIL), Somali Livestock Insurance Consortium (SLIC) and Resilience Nexus Learning Action Network (RNLAN) that champion innovations key to resilience building.
