1. **Background**

Humedica e. V., in partnership with a local partner organization, is currently developing a multi-year resilience and climate adaptation project for submission under the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) framework for Transitional Development Assistance (TDA).

The proposed intervention, titled: “Strengthening Climate Resilience and Inclusive Community Structures for Vulnerable Households in Afmadow District, Somalia” is expected to be implemented between January 2027 and December 2029 in Afmadow District, Jubaland State, Somalia.

The intervention is expected to contribute to strengthening absorptive, adaptive and transformative resilience capacities at household, community and institutional levels among populations exposed to recurrent climate shocks, environmental degradation, displacement dynamics, conflict-related risks and protracted humanitarian stressors.

In line with BMZ requirements for Structural Transitional Aid, the project design must be informed by a project-shaping resilience analysis.

The assignment is expected to apply a systems-oriented resilience lens that analyses the interlinkages between climate risks, conflict dynamics, governance challenges, social exclusion and livelihood vulnerabilities in order to identify integrated and sustainable resilience pathways.

The resilience analysis is expected to:
