Procurement of Milk Refrigerated Pickup Truck for Jalam Milk Market

Windle International Somalia (WISOM) is seeking qualified bidders for the procurement of a refrigerated pickup truck to enhance the operational capacity of a women-led dairy cooperative in Jalam, Puntland.

This initiative is part of the Advancing Circular Technologies for Infrastructure and Value-chain Enhancement (ACTIVE) Project, which aims to integrate renewable energy solutions within Somalia's agricultural sectors, promoting economic resilience and sustainability.

The project focuses on improving access to milk producers, reducing post-harvest losses, and ensuring compliance with quality standards, thereby benefiting local economies and livelihoods.

The procurement of this refrigerated truck is expected to significantly improve the cooperative's ability to transport milk, extend shelf life, and access higher-value markets.

This investment not only aims to increase incomes for women members but also enhances food safety for consumers and strengthens the local dairy value chain.

The initiative exemplifies a scalable model for integrating renewable energy-powered solutions within Somalia's livestock sector, contributing to a more resilient and sustainable agricultural framework.
