Who We Are ?

Locally Led Action is a locally rooted, community-led humanitarian and development organisation established in Somalia on 21 December 2022. We exist to advance a different way of doing humanitarian and development work—one that places local people, knowledge, leadership and decision-making at the centre of change.
