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.
