Muriale village demonstration areas, July-2025.
ACCESS helped establish resilience-design demonstration sites as practical learning spaces for ecological restoration, climate adaptation and sustainable food production.
At the Muriale village site in Bal’ad district, degraded land was reorganized using contour-based beds, water-sensitive layouts and regenerative soil practices. The demonstration introduced tools such as the A-frame for contour mapping and used biochar, manure and mulch to improve fertility and moisture retention. Seed sourcing and biodiversity considerations were integrated into the site’s development.
Community learning in Maandheere village in Jowhar district connected the same principles with local farms and flood-affected landscapes. Farmers and local stakeholders received hands-on exposure to land preparation, irrigation, biodiversity and peacebuilding, creating opportunities to replicate workable methods on their own plots and institutions.
The project was part of the the main JOSP project that was funded by EU, Nuros9 was implementing this project with having the support from IOM-Somalia and ACCESS was giving technical assistant to their couterpart Nuros9solutions.
The sites created a practical bridge between resilience-design concepts and locally testable solutions for healthier soils, better water use and more climate-ready landscapes.
