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.
