Somalia
Since 2008, ACTED has been implementing projects in South Central Somalia focusing on emergency WASH support, food security, information management and humanitarian coordination to help the population transition into early recovery.
Large parts of Somalia remain in humanitarian crisis with most rural areas still under Al Shabaab control and with many people unable to meet their essential needs. ACTED’s current programming focuses on early recovery, in Bay, Lower Juba and Gedo regions, including resilience, social safety nets, livelihood and WASH activities. ACTED also carries out emergency programming when necessary, just recently it implemented water trucking to 5,000 households across two districts of Gedo region who were experiencing drought.
Lastly, ACTED partners with IMPACT Initiatives to implement the REACH programme in Somalia. REACH, which is an IDP assessment tool, aims to provide information management services to the WASH, Education and Shelter Clusters in Somalia and is used to improve humanitarian coordination in the country.
