CRPD implements ten distinct program areas designed to address the structural inequalities of rural Somalia. Our holistic approach bridges the gap between emergency relief and long-term development to foster inclusive progress.
The CRPD strengthens rural independence by replacing emergency aid with Climate-Smart Agriculture, providing farmers with drought-resistant seeds and irrigation tools. By rehabilitating water points and offering veterinary services, the organization secures the vital livestock assets of pastoralist families against climate shocks. The program also provides Vocational Training (TVET) to women and youth, empowering them to diversify household income and break the cycle of poverty. This integrated approach ensures that immediate food relief builds a lasting foundation for economic self-sufficiency and community resilience.
The CRPD provides life-saving healthcare and WASH services to rural populations often neglected by urban-centric medical systems. By rehabilitating strategic water points and constructing sanitary latrines, the organization directly prevents the spread of waterborne diseases in high-risk zones. The program prioritizes maternal and child health through vaccinations and emergency aid, specifically targeting marginalized groups in IDP camps. This integrated approach combines physical treatment with hygiene education to ensure that immediate medical relief leads to long-term community well-being.
The CRPD provides critical access to clean water and sanitation for rural communities and displaced populations facing severe health risks. By rehabilitating strategic water points and constructing communal latrines, the organization directly reduces the incidence of life-threatening waterborne diseases. The program integrates infrastructure development with hygiene education, empowering marginalized families to maintain sanitary living environments. This holistic approach ensures that immediate WASH interventions provide a sustainable foundation for long-term community health and dignity.
The CRPD provides critical education support to conflict-affected students, ensuring that instability does not permanently end a child's learning journey. The organization prioritizes Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to equip youth and marginalized adults with marketable professional skills. Specialized workshops are designed to be inclusive, such as those providing vocational skills to visually impaired youth and rural women. This focus on human capital development allows individuals to break the cycle of poverty and actively participate in Somalia's economic reconstruction.
The CRPD implements robust protection programs that address the acute risks faced by displaced populations, with a specific focus on Child Protection (CP) and Gender-Based Violence (GBV). By conducting rapid field assessments in regions like Bakool, the organization identifies and mitigates systemic threats to women and children in marginalized settlements. Beyond immediate safety, the CRPD advocates for policy reforms to secure the legal rights of ethnic and religious minorities and persons with disabilities. This holistic approach ensures that vulnerable individuals are not only shielded from harm but are also empowered to seek justice and participate in community leadership.
The CRPD provides critical education support to conflict-affected students, ensuring that regional instability does not permanently disrupt a child's learning journey. The organization prioritizes Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to equip youth and marginalized adults with marketable professional skills for the local economy. Specialized workshops are designed to be inclusive, offering tailored vocational training to visually impaired youth and rural women to enhance their self-reliance. This investment in human capital empowers individuals to break the intergenerational cycle of poverty and lead Somalia’s long-term economic reconstruction.
The CRPD prioritizes youth development by providing Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to equip young people with marketable skills for the local economy. Through specialized workshops and leadership training, the organization empowers marginalized youth to move beyond subsistence and into professional roles. These initiatives specifically target conflict-affected and visually impaired youth, ensuring that the most vulnerable have a path toward self-reliance. By fostering civic engagement and economic opportunity, the CRPD transforms the youth population from a group at risk of instability into the primary drivers of Somalia’s reconstruction.
The CRPD promotes gender equality by dismantling the systemic barriers that exclude women from rural leadership and economic participation. Through targeted vocational training and leadership workshops, the organization empowers women from marginalized backgrounds to gain financial independence and a voice in community decision-making. The program also focuses on high-level advocacy and protection, addressing high rates of illiteracy and the prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV) in rural settlements. By positioning women as central actors in the "humanitarian-development nexus," the CRPD ensures that rural prosperity is inclusive and sustainable for the entire nation.
