Enumerator - (30 Positions)

Organizational Background

Welthungerhilfe (formerly German Agro Action) is one of the largest politically and religiously independent aid agencies in Germany; The organization fights for "Zero Hunger by 2030". Since being founded in 1962, it has provided funding of EUR 4.2 billion for more than 10,369 overseas projects in 70 countries. Welthungerhilfe (WHH) bases its efforts on the principle of help for self-help, which it implements with measures ranging from rapid disaster relief to rehabilitation to long-term development cooperation projects with national and international partner organizations.

It has been twenty-two years since Welthungerhilfe (WHH) started interventions in Somaliland in 2001. Initially, WHH was working in three regions of the country (Awdal, Togdheer and Sanaag) on humanitarian and development projects. Currently, Welthungerhilfe has projects in Awdal, Maroodi-jex, Sahil and Togdheer Regions of Somaliland. The foci of intervention have been rural development, natural resource management, disaster risk management, WASH, food security, and adult education. Recently, sustainable WASH systems and rangeland management have gained a prominent place in our portfolio as the main elements of climate change resilience. Through time, the diversity of activities and the volume of funds have grown. Welthungerhilfe is determined to implement its projects increasingly in partnership with local organizations and of course with the active involvement of the communities under consideration and relevant government authorities.
