effectively because communities are not well oriented.
2. Revolving funds
NA
Programme sustainability:
3. each project needs clear policy and produture when assessing/
surveying and selecting the target beneficiaries/location, so as to avoid
misleading of projects.
4. During the implementing of any project we should considered needs of
the community.
5. the community should propose their needs and they should aware
about it, how and what to solve any problems among themselves and
the project.
6. The CDs should have fully PRA training, in order them to assist the
community to verify their needs.
7. Each project implemented in the area the community should fully
aware
8. The CDs and project staffs should promote ownership awareness to
any implemented project to the community.
9. Transparency and collaboration of the project among the staffs and
also the community is the most important point.
10. It is very helpful for project sustainable to train District Authority as
how they develop and plan with community
11.
General recommendation
 Community with assistance of CDs should propose their
needs rather then project offices.
 Sanitation awareness in the community should be promote
by giving more training, especially women and children.
 The CDs should have close collaboration with the villagers,
in order them to know the real needs in the community,
rather than project officer interact with them.
 It is important to build the capacity of CWD in terms of
addressing community needs and monitoring and evaluation
of the programme, this will help them to innovate and also
to develop a improve strategies /plan in the community.

Water in the area is not enough we are recommending one Barkat for the (Xer) community

Location/Geography:
Garadag district is located southwest of El-afweyn. It borders Huddun district of sool
region in the East, Hagal district of sahil region in the West, El-afweyn district of
sanaag region in the North and Aynabo district of Sool region in the South. Fifteen
villages come under the jurisdiction of the district without dispute with neighbouring
districts inhabited predominantly by pastoral communities. The land is flat with some
chains of mountains intercepted by large plains. Trees and shrubs are scarce in the
area. There are also some valleys with permanent hard salty water unfit to human
health.
Livelihood bases:
1. Livestock:
Since Garadag district is a pastoral area, the livelihood of the people depends mainly
on livestock production and products. The pastorals mainly raise shoats (sheep/goats)
camel, and few cattle as well as some donkeys and few horses (used as pack animals).
There are some families who do not have own livestock but benefits from keeping for
others. Grazing flows with the rainfall pattern, discrete and sporadic in space and time
- characteristic of semiarid lands. During Jiilaal, shortage of forage, livestock are
driven to where forage is available, sometimes about 200 km far from areas of origin.
To stabilise their daily food consumption most of the pastorals regularly use to sell
about 3 shoats per month for 1.5 – 2 sacks of rice and sugar in major cities (Burao and
Bosaso). Herders also sell milk mainly in wet season to surrounding villages as
further family income (see table 1).
o CAP was renew two times with assistance of CDWs.

o Provision of cover slaps for fourty five families, (not yet completed).
o Construction of meat market
