Agrocare works with vulnerable populations in Somalia to provide humanitarian support, build resilience and develop capacity of the vulnerable households and communities to put them on track to development. Like the residents of Somalia and other stakeholders. Agrocare believes in the ability of Somalia to put behind the conflicts and disasters that have affected them in the past. Because of this belief, Agrocare works with communities and leaders to plan for long term development projects.

We are guided by human rights in our work and design and implement our programs on a right-based approach. We ensure that our activities do no harm tgo our participants, the community and other stakeholders. To achieve this, we mainstream gender and protection in all our activities and programs.

Provision of shelter to households affected by disaster is important in humanitarian assistance because shelter provides protection and security especially to vulnerable women and girls who are at a higher risk of GBV in the absence of shelter. Agrocare has participated in advocating and planning for the inclusion of dignity as part of an intervention in shelter and NFI’s. Under UNOCHA’s common humanitarian fund (CHF), the provision of women dignity kits was actualized.

To prevent vulnerable communities from slipping back to humanitarian crisis, Agrocare understands that food security and livelihoods of the vulnerable populations must be developed and safeguarded. Over the years, Agrocare has worked with agro pastoralists and riverine communities to gether with partners such as FAO and UNOCHA, to provide access to food through food distribution and distribution of agricultural inputs. Rehabilitation of infrastructure both for increased food production and access to markets has supported the livelihoods of the participants and improved food production and access to food markets by the communtiies. Under the rehabilitation of infrastructure programs, Agrocare has worked with agro pastoralists and riverine communities to rehabilitate irrigation canals, strengthen river embankments and recapped roads in Hiran and Middle shabelle regions.
