Roadmap for Implementing Education Adaptation Activities Under Somalia’s National Adaptation Plan (2026–2030)

Somalia is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world, experiencing increasing frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events that affect livelihoods, infrastructure, and public services. The education sector is particularly vulnerable to these impacts, as climate-related hazards damage school infrastructure, disrupt access to education, and undermine learning continuity. 

In 2025, the Federal Government of Somalia published the National Adaptation Plan of Somalia (2026–2030) (NAP), which identifies priority adaptation actions across multiple sectors. Within the NAP, education is recognized as a critical cross-cutting enabler of climate resilience, supporting climate awareness, adaptive capacity, and long-term societal transformation. The present roadmap document provides a practical framework for operationalizing the education-related adaptation actions identified in the NAP. Specifically, this roadmap has the following aims: 

• identify priority actions and implementation timelines for education adaptation, integrating gender equity and social inclusion considerations; 

• clarify institutional roles, responsibilities, and coordination mechanisms for implementation; and 

• identify key enabling requirements, including financing, and monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL).
