Introduction: (BACKGROUND)

Tayo-Wadaag Women Fishmongers (TAWFO) is Organization a Non-Profit Organization (NGO) the first of its kind in Somaliland. Burao, located in Togdheer 135.5 km from Barbara port. Togdheer is the bedrock of nomadic culture in all of Somaliland, which was devastated by the recent droughts. The loss of livestock and grazing pastures to droughts inspired the group of female fishmongers to educate the community on the health and socio-economic benefits of fish consumption and trade, through many awareness campaigns.

This will be achieved by conducting fish knowledge , processing and cooking demonstrations in their efforts to aid in issues affecting the community such as food insecurity and income insecurity. TAWFO will also train community women in circular economy methods by using the whole fish processing technologies such as fish drying, fish emulation and silage production. TAWFO will work towards an end goal of establishing a presence in the fishing industry, collaborating with stakeholders and ministries in Somalia to establish partnerships in fish trade and maritime Sector regulations. Finally, TAWFO will champion and advocate for the rights, equity and equality of female fishmongers in the Post Harvest Small Scale Fisheries sector of Somaliland.

I’m going back. Who’s with me?

Climate change is obliterating pastoralism, which employs 70 per cent of Somalilanders. The government has grand plans to re-orient to the sea. But can foreign interests be kept at bay?
