ACTED launched its Kenya
mission in January of 2008 with an emergency assistance program for residents
in Nairobi slums affected by the post election violence. Since 2009, Nairobi
has been the home base of ACTED’s relief operation in Southern Somalia aimed at
supporting vulnerable famers affected by recurrent droughts.
In 2010, ACTED’s mission in
Kenya/Somalia sought to address the needs of pastoralist and farmer communities
of North Central Kenya and South Somalia arising from multiple shocks such as
adverse climatic conditions and disease outbreaks, through emergency food and
non-food items distribution. In the wake of this emergency context, ACTED also
promoted the adoption of sustainable community-based solutions, emphasizing
livelihood strengthening and diversification, natural resource rehabilitation
and management, good hygiene practices and access to sanitation facilities.
ACTED is developing its
programs in South Somalia, focusing on building capacity to respond to
emergency outbreaks, as well as ensuring local populations are integrated into
longer term projects aiming at improving their livelihoods. This will occur in
the form of food, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and livelihood support
to vulnerable agro-pastoral and riverine communities. Today, ACTED’s teams and
resources are mobilized on the front of dire needs in our areas of intervention
in Somalia and Kenya, as well as other areas in the Horn of Africa.
