CEFA has been working in Southern Somalia for many years, particularly in the agricultural sector, focussing on the re-introduction of rice cultivation in partnership with local communities and the EU Somalia Unit based in Nairobi. From 1996 to the present, rice cultivation has been re-estabhshed in Jowhar District, Middle Shabelle through the implementation of three project phases. The purpose of this review is to determine the extent to which the project has reached its objectives at the end of Phase III and to make recommendations for the new Phase IV.
