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.

Livelihoods

Livelihoods

Locally Led Action strengthens people’s capacity to protect, rebuild and diversify their livelihoods while improving access to markets and economic opportunities.

Our work includes: livelihood recovery; vocational and business skills; entrepreneurship; market-based programming; savings and financial inclusion; employment pathways; climate-smart livelihoods; and economic empowerment of women and young people.

Our locally led approach: Communities identify viable livelihood opportunities based on their skills, markets, environment and local economic realities rather than receiving predetermined livelihood packages.
