The management of water resources is facing substantial challenges due to climate change, especially in susceptible areas like Mogadishu, Somalia. In the context of Mogadishu's water sector, this review article examines the relationship between integrated water resource management and climate change adaptation. It looks at the main plans, laws, and programs put in place to mitigate the effects of climate change on the region's water supplies and build resilience. The significance of capacity building, including stakeholders, and utilizing cutting-edge technologies in developing efficient adaptation and management strategies is also emphasized in the study. This study offers important insights into the present state, best practices, and future directions for integrated water resource management and climate change adaptation in Mogadishu, Somalia, by examining previous research and case studies.

Integrated water resource management, enhancing water availability throughout the city, and including community stakeholders in sustainable solutions are some of the important topics covered. Between January and June of 2023, a thorough search of the literature was carried out utilising Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Web of Science, among other online databases. The following terms and search phrases were used: "urban water management," "integrated water resource management," "climate change adaptation," "water sector," "Mogadishu," and "Somalia." The websites of the FAO, UN-Habitat, the Ministry of Water and Energy Resources of Somalia, and foreign NGOs involved in water and climate initiatives in Mogadishu were also searched for pertinent reports and publications from 2012 to 2023.
