BACKGROUND  1.        About CARE INTERNATIONAL

CARE International in SOMALIA is a development and humanitarian organization with a goal to reduce poverty at the household level and provide relief in emergencies. We have worked with communities in Somaliland, Puntland & South Central, meeting relief needs and phasing in long-term projects.

CARE has been providing emergency relief and lifesaving assistance to the Somali people since 1981. CARE Somalia is currently operational in Somalia and Somaliland. The main programs are Rural Women Program, the Urban Youth Program, and the Emergency program through a process of extensive research and strategizing that started in 2009, CARE has developed two multisector development programs that address the underlying causes of poverty and vulnerability in Somalia/Somaliland. Rural Women and Urban Youth programs are informed by CARE International’s program approach which focuses on addressing the multiple drivers of poverty and vulnerability. These 2 programs are taking a longer-term approach to help us tackle a broad range of issues in local communities and to hold ourselves accountable for achieving significant and measurable results. Our main program activities since then have included projects in water and sanitation, sustainable pastoralist activities, civil society and media development, small-scale enterprise development, primary school education, teacher training, adult literacy, and vocational training. We work in partnership with Somali and international aid agencies, civil society leaders and local authorities.

CARE’s capacity and experience allow us to deliver fast and effective assistance whenever an emergency happens, which is done through the Emergency Program which normally has short-term projects. Our emergency program focuses on supporting Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and vulnerable host populations in five main sectors: Food Security/Livelihoods, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Health, Nutrition and Education in Emergencies (EiE). Also, we provide protection support to the people displaced by drought and conflict, helping them secure their safety and improve their relationships with the communities hosting them.
