Increasing the Agricultural Infrastructure and Technology of Somalia

Abstract

The purpose of this policy proposal is to address the food and water insecurity that the entire nation of Somalia is experiencing in order to secure the United States’ national interests in the region of The Horn of Africa. I urge Bob Menendez, the chairman of The United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, to consider my recommendations to tackle this systemic issue in the fragile state of Somalia because this foreign aid will save millions from severe malnutrition and dehydration, while weakening terrorist organizations in the region at the same time. My policy recommendation to tackle this issue are to increase foreign aid to Somalia in the way of developing water infrastructure countrywide.
