Daawad is one of the villages of Eyl district in Nugaal region. It is located 240 km from Garowe capital of Nugaal region of Puntland Somalia. Eyl is an ancient town with rich of historical buildings, architects and remainders of their past rulers. It is located between beautiful mountains 5km away from Badey village of Eyl at the coast of Indian ocean. Eyl is home to several historic castles and structures dating from the 1900s and earlier period. It is an ancient port town in the northeastern Nugal region of Puntland state of Somalia, it is the capital of the Eyl District. Eyl, also called Illig, was the capital of the Dervishes from 1905 to 1909. Eyl is the site of many historical artifacts and structures. Along with a rock shelter near the southern town of Buur Heybe, it is the seat of the first professional archaeological excavation in the country. At the turn of the twentieth century, the city served as a bastion for the Dervish forces of Sayyid Mohammed Abdullah Hassan. Several forts remain from this period, in addition to colonial edifices built by the Italians. Daarta Dhowre Sheneeleh, a prominent fort from the Darawiish era, is located in the city. The notion of the building of fortresses for Dervish inhabitation was conceived in 1903 when the Dervishes built a fort at Eyl also called Illig. The economy of Eyl depends on livestock rearing, Fishing, farming and small and medium scale businesses activities like shops, stores and cafes, Offices of telecommunication companies, and few humanitarian agencies operating in Daawad village of Eyl. Prior to the start of the civil war, Eyl was one of the chief fishing hubs in Somalia. Tuna, lobster, and other high value marine stock were harvested locally for domestic and international seafood markets. The people of Eyl district were affected by different challenges including floods destroyed the agricultural farms during the last raining season which influenced the daily activities and availability of agricultural cash and food crops for the farmers who were waiting for their harvesting time. Due to the impact of the floods the production of crops were very low. Most of the farmers were not harvested last time and this discouraged them to plant this season except few trying to overcome that challenge but needs to support drip irrigation for Farmer managed natural regeneration to get sufficient water and nutrients for the farms. Drip irrigation is an efficient and economical way to irrigate agricultural farms. Used commonly in drier areas, drip irrigation is becoming more popular recently. Unlike other forms of irrigation, such as sprinklers that are only 65-75% efficient, drip irrigation 90% efficient at allowing plants to use the water applied. And, it reduces runoff and evaporation. Drip irrigation applies the water slowly at the plant root zone where it is needed most. Drip irrigation for FMNRs will help Farmers in Eyl district to get sufficient water and controllable water for cash crops to germinate and plants to grow and conserve the environment by the FMNR champion committee to monitor and follow-up the status of the environment and mobilize people cutting the trees. Supply and install 2" Pvc pipeline for water source to main line. Supply and install 1" 1/2"HDPE pipe for main line. Supply and install HDPE 1” pipe for Sub main line pipe. Supply and install LLDPE 16mm lateral pipes, each lateral pipes should be spaced at 8m. Supply and install 16mm Connector valves. Supply and install 2” PVC socket. Again Daawad FMNR is part of 2022 Bulshokaab crowdfunding and Eyl community are expected to raise $1,579 of contributions to cover the estimation cost of $4,585 with allocated matching fund of $3,006.
