In line with the government’s drought response plan, Wa-PYDO, in partnership with UNHCR and the Refugees and Returnees Service (RRS), supported nine agricultural crop production cooperatives in the Dollo Ado and Bokolmayo refugee operation for the October 2022 planting.
In total, 618 hectares were cultivated with maize, beans, Sudan grass, sesame and wheat, benefiting both refugees and the host community through the project funded by the IKEA Foundation.
As part of the wheat production, Wa-PYDO’s Executive Director, together with the Dollo Ado district commissioner and his cabinet, visited the wheat fields at Hilaweyn, which receive technical support from the Regional Agriculture Bureau. Following the visit, Wa-PYDO provided inputs for a further 40 hectares, for which the cooperative is preparing the land. Read more about the Integrated Livelihoods Programme.
