About Jubaland Development Organization (JDO)
Jubaland Development Organization (JDO) is a registered Somali non-governmental
organization (NGO) established in June 2006 by Somali professionals committed to improving
the lives of vulnerable communities in the Jubaland region of Somalia.
JDO was founded in response to the deteriorating humanitarian conditions facing families in
Somalia and in particular the Jubas, who have endured over two decades of prolonged conflict,
recurrent droughts, flooding, and political instability
These compounded crises have severely
limited access to essential services such as clean water, sanitation, healthcare, education, and
agricultural infrastructure.
The organization serves as a platform to support, empower, and raise awareness for the most
marginalized and crisis-affected populations,
