Community participation and sustainability of project in selected non-government Organization ngo’s Ingalmudug State-Somalia

Abstract

Somalia is in the mist of many problems. Pirates, a never ending civil war and not having a government, plus being essentially a dump for the industrialized world but there is one giant problem on the horizon for the People of Somalia. Deforestation is a problem everywhere, but within a country that is suffering as much as Somalia, there is no greater need for an economically viable option. Cutting down nearly 2.5 million trees each year is just making the country even worse for were then it was before. Somalia is still a very young country; it only gained its independence 50 years ago. Somalia is right between Africa and the Middle, so it is in a very good position for trade and has been for thousands of years. Unfortunately a good portion of the country is completely unusable, and at the rate of deforestation that is happening every year in Somalia, the rest of the usable attributes of the country will soon be gone as well
