Asal Humanitarian Network

The ASAL Humanitarian Network - AHN is a platform led by local and national NGOs promoting a humanitarian system that enables more locally-led responses. The network was established in March 2019, and its current 30 members are all operational within ten Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) counties in Northern Kenya. Networked together, we have a wide array of expertise, ranging from cash programming, women’s rights, MEAL, media and advocacy, food security, livelihoods and nutrition, climate change adaptation, WASH, gender sensitive budgeting analysis and community mobilization. The AHN provides a platform for the local NGOs to advocate for localization of Humanitarian Action, promote information sharing, engage stakeholders and hold duty bearers accountable, and coordinate actions of L/NNGOs in aid delivery to affected people and communities. Counties represented in the ASAL Humanitarian Network – Baringo, Garissa, Isiolo, Mandera, Marsabit, Samburu, Tanariver, Turkana, Wajir and West Pokot
