ADRA has been operating in Somalia since 1992 implementing emergency relief and development interventions in different sectors. ADRA Somali’s work is anchored on a programming approach that recognises the essence of the communities taking leadership in their own development. Interventions by ADRA Somali do not relegate the communities to be mere recipients of aid, but significant partners in formulation and execution of strategies that address their needs, therefore, attaining sustainable positive change in their lives through development and relief initiatives. ADRA Somali has partnered with several development agencies, government ministries and departments and educational and research institutes to deliver development programmes to communities throughout the country. We view collaboration as a cost-effective and time saving means for implementing projects impact. Through our strategy, we envision empowering communities and changing their lives.
