Food Security and Livelihood

Empowering households through conditional and unconditional cash transfers that support economic and skill development. This aid model allows families to prioritize their own needs while stimulating local markets.

To combat systemic poverty and displacement-driven hunger, ASEN implements innovative market-based solutions that restore dignity and economic independence to families. Our livelihood interventions are designed to bridge the gap between aid dependency and self-reliance by offering an empowerment-focused support system that includes:

Economic Agency: Using cash-based assistance to give families the power to choose their own priorities—from food to education.

Market Stimulation: Providing direct cash infusions to stabilize and grow local Somali markets, fostering long-term economic resilience.

Skill Development: Linking financial assistance to vocational training to ensure families move from aid dependency toward total independence.
