CARESOM

CARE opened offices in Somalia in 1981, providing life-saving emergency assistance to people affected by conflict and crisis. It expanded its work to tackle the underlying causes of poverty and vulnerability of rural girls and women and urban youth in Somaliland, Puntland, and South-Central Somalia, and building their resilience to recurrent shocks and stresses. Today, CARE is amongst the largest International Non-Governmental-Organizations in Somalia and Somaliland, making significant contributions to respond to the substantial humanitarian needs while leading on recovery and development efforts. This includes helping to strengthen the capacity of government to ensure adequate policy frameworks and the delivery of gender-responsive social services and their governance.
