visit our Facebook page at SAACID is an indigenous Somali NGO dedicated to enhancing the life options of women, children and the poor within Somalia. Founded in 1990, SAACID is the oldest and largest Somali organization of its kind, with an impressive record of managing large-scale complex emergency and development programme cycles. SAACID is registered in Australia, Somalia and the US. SAACID works in 7 sectors: 1) Women’s Empowerment 2) Livelihoods and Development 3) Health, Nutrition, Water and Sanitation 4) Education 5) Security, Conflict Resolution and Governance 6) Emergency Relief 7) Research SAACID is results driven, and has consistently delivered high quality outputs through more than two decades of structural anarchy that has prevailed in Somalia, by employing bottom-up, community-based models, investing in multi-clan trust-based relationships, and applying innovative problem solving. Given the changing political context and our desire to break away from a donor dependency model, we continue to seek entrepreneurial solutions to build long-term durable development solutions in Somalia, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss these with interested actors.
