STRATEGY
RACIDA currently implements projects across the Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, and South Sudan under six core programs guided by our three strategic goals: Providing Humanitarian Assistance, Building Resilience, and Promoting Peace and Security.
At the heart of RACIDA’s operations is our humanitarian response to natural and manmade hazards such as droughts, floods, and conflict impacting Agro-Pastoralist communities in our target countries.
RACIDA recognizes sustainable development outcomes cannot be delivered to our target communities without ensuring peace and stability. We work directly with communities to build their capacity in peace building, combining both traditional and modern techniques to conflict mitigation and resolution.
The impact of disasters on community development in our target areas is severe. RACIDA’s programs aim to improve the resilience of Agro-pastoral communities so they can effectively recover from the effects of shocks (natural disaster, conflict, and economic instability) and continue working towards sustainable development.
