we are proud to have designed and developed the Puntland Youth Climate Platform in partnership with the Ministry of Humanitarian and Disaster Management (MoHDM). This pioneering system harnesses the energy, creativity, and commitment of young people to strengthen Puntland’s climate resilience and disaster management capacity.

About the Platform

The Puntland Youth Climate Platform is a digital and community-based solution that connects youth volunteers with disaster management structures at local and national levels. By engaging young people as frontline actors, the platform ensures faster response, stronger preparedness, and greater community resilience.

Key Features

🌍 Community Preparedness & Response
Youth volunteers are trained and equipped to support evacuation drills, reinforce community infrastructure, and assist in distributing emergency supplies. They also contribute during response efforts such as rescue operations, relief distribution, and shelter establishment.

📊 Youth Volunteer Database
The system maintains a comprehensive database of young volunteers, including their skills, location, and areas of interest. This allows MoHDM to mobilize the right volunteers quickly and efficiently during emergencies.

🤝 Youth Volunteer Networks
Through the platform, youth are organized into networks across Puntland. These networks foster collaboration, collective action, and knowledge sharing around disaster management and climate action.

📢 Early Warning Dissemination
Youth volunteers act as trusted community messengers, ensuring timely and accurate early warning messages reach vulnerable populations, reducing risks and saving lives.

Impact

• Faster response: The volunteer database enables rapid mobilization tailored to local needs.

• Youth empowerment: The platform institutionalizes youth participation in climate and disaster resilience.
