The Groundwater for Resilience (GW4R) Program, financed by the World Bank, aims to increase sustainable access and management of groundwater as a key contribution to strengthen the resilience of targeted communities in the Horn of Africa region, in particular the borderlands of Kenia, Ethiopia and Somalia. The Somalia GW4R program has three components:

1. Building and rehabilitation of infrastructure to improve groundwater supply and use;

2. Building the institutional capacity and knowledge system of federal and member states and Somaliland to implement the project;

3. Project management and M&E and internalized knowledge management and learning.

This project aims at conducting groundwater mapping study in Somalia, development of a web-based geo-database, training and capacity building to government staff
