Humanitarian aid for the rural communities in Somaliland
Somalia has been described as a collapsed state since 1990. The country is affected by long-standing internal armed conflict and is balancing on the edge of collapse. Dysfunctional state structures, political instability, climate change, prolonged drought and lack of investment in agriculture have lead in some parts of the country to a humanitarian disaster, leaving thousands of people dependent on foreign aid.
