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.

Protection and Inclusion

Protection and Inclusion

Locally Led Action integrates protection throughout its programmes and supports community mechanisms that prevent and respond to violence, abuse, exploitation, exclusion and discrimination.

Our work includes: child protection; safeguarding; PSEA; GBV risk mitigation and referral; disability inclusion; protection mainstreaming; community-based protection; awareness of rights and available services; and safe referral pathways.

Our locally led approach: We strengthen community-based protection structures and ensure women, children, young people, persons with disabilities and marginalised groups have meaningful opportunities to influence decisions affecting them.
