KAAH Relief and Development Organization abbreviated as KAAH is a local humanitarian organization working in Somalia since its establishment the year 2001
The initiative came up after a group of Somali concerned professionals came together after carrying out needs assessment on the situation of the Somali people who have been affected by both natural and man-made disasters after the civil war KAAH was founded during 2001 by Somali concern citizens
In the awake of the prolonged insecurity and droughts in Somalia and the increased lack of humanitarian access of humanitarian services to victims in Somalia, the founders agreed to form KAAH to address and mitigate the effects of biting natural and man-made disasters and the socio-economic problems of people in these regions. After the collapse of strongly centralized Somali military regime in 1991, the socio-economic infrastructure have completed been destroyed leading the collapse of livelihoods of many communities
KAAH targets vulnerable beneficiaries both in urban and rural areas on life-saving activities through emergency response, recovery, livelihoods and developmental activities.
KAAH since its inception and mutual partnerships with global development and local partners has been able to implement humanitarian protection activities in collaboration with its stakeholders
KAAH management team was able to deliver various reliefs, recovery and development oriented interventions at respective regions in which KAAH operates. KAAH underpinning operational principle is that empowered communities with various effective and relevant reliefs, recoveries and development interventions can break shackles of protracted violent conflict and prolonged cycles of drought situations
KAAH’s own documented lessons learned include the significance of addressing the nexuses between development, good governance and peace building of violent conflict affected communities of its target beneficiaries
This is why KAAH placed top priority on its civic education interventions that have major good governance promotion activities through highlighting the relationships between good governance, durable peace and poverty reduction initiatives towards attaining sustainable local development
KAAH intends to produce tangible outcomes on its relief, recovery and development interventions, and all the three intervention levels will be planned and implemented coherently
Where, in essence its relief interventions should set favorable conditions for reasonable recoveries
On the other hand, its recovery interventions shall pave the way for conditions of attaining sustainable local development at community levels. In order to sustain the attained positive outcomes and impacts of KAAH implemented projects, KAAH developed interconnected project frameworks
