Afgooye is the capital of Somalia's Lower Shabelle region, located about 30 kilometers west of the capital, Mogadishu, and straddling the shores of the Shabelle River. One of the historic towns of southern Somalia, Afgooye is known for its fertile agricultural land, and is an important banana, vegetable and cereal producing area in the country, known as the "back garden of Mogadishu". Despite a long history of civil war and drought, the local community has remained committed to agricultural development and humanitarian assistance. In recent years, with the return of relative stability, Afgooye has emerged as a regional hub for trade and population concentration, but also faces the challenge of rebuilding infrastructure and improving livelihoods.
