As part of the "Food to Resilience” #FuTuRe3 project funded by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre #KSRelief and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development #BMZ, and in partnership with the World Food Programme #WFP, Nahda Makers implemented the “Gabion Rehabilitation” activity in Seiyun and Al-Qatn districts, with the aim of reducing flood risks and strengthening the resilience of agricultural communities.
The activity included the construction and installation of stone gabion barriers to protect agricultural land from destructive floods, stabilize soil and reduce erosion, as well as safeguard main irrigation canals from collapse. The work also involved excavation and land leveling using heavy machinery, followed by the manual construction of gabions in accordance with approved technical standards.
A total of 300 beneficiaries benefited from the activity, including the most vulnerable agricultural households, farmers affected by floods and soil erosion, agricultural laborers classified, in addition to female-headed households, the elderly, and persons with disabilities within the targeted agricultural communities.
The activity is being implemented with the direct participation of beneficiaries themselves through the Food/Cash for Assets approach, under the direct supervision of the engineering team of #Nahda_Makers, ensuring skills transfer and strengthening community ownership of the implemented assets.
The activity is expected to contribute to reducing the impacts of floods and climate change on agriculture, protecting farmers’ sources of income, enhancing the efficiency of irrigation water use, and supporting the resilience of agricultural communities, the sustainability of livelihoods, and improving food security in the medium and long term.
