Open National Tender Notice for two Greenhouse construction and installation
Background
Background
In Somalia, school feeding programs play a crucial role in addressing food insecurity, improving student attendance, and enhancing overall educational outcomes. To supplement these programs and promote sustainability, the construction of greenhouses in schools has been identified as a strategic intervention. Greenhouses will enable schools to grow fresh vegetables and other crops year-round, providing nutritious food for students while also serving as a learning tool for agricultural education.
Seasonal movement along transhumance corridors for grazing and water is a common practice for pastoralists within Somalia and across the border to Ethiopia. However, conflicts and climate change effects pose challenges such as obstruction of corridors due to displaced persons' sites, economic activities, urbanization, livestock theft, tax levying, and kidnapping. Access to water points often depends on payments and clan relationships. Additionally, pastoralists have limited access to safety nets, climate information, and Early Warning Systems (EWS), relying mainly on clan networks for support. To address unstable food and water supplies, climate-induced displacement, and conflict in the region, early action and enhanced preparedness are crucial for protecting transhumance corridors and livelihoods.
The integration of greenhouses into school environments serves a dual purpose: enhancing the school feeding program and fostering innovative climate-smart agricultural practices. This initiative aims to provide fresh, nutritious produce for school meals for pastoralist children along the corridor while educating students on sustainable agriculture.
Objectives
Promote Climate-Smart Agriculture: Equip students and staff with the knowledge and skills required for sustainable agricultural practices that mitigate climate change impacts along the corridor.
Educational Opportunities: Integrate agricultural education into the school curriculum to foster interest in innovative farming techniques among students.

Training: Provide training sessions for students, teachers, and staff on greenhouse management and climate-smart agriculture practices.
