Delivery in districts where access is the first problem.
BADEF is a Somali development organisation working with poor and marginalised communities in Lower Juba and Lower Shabelle. We deliver as a partner and as a sub-grantee, and we report the figures the field produced.
Nine
Seven
Nine institutions have funded our work, supported it, or delivered alongside us in Somalia, among them the European Union, UNICEF, FAO, USAID and the Somalia Humanitarian Fund. Four things tend to matter most to the people who sign the grant.
Districts that are hard to reach
BADEF works across seven states and territories of Somalia and in neighbouring countries in East Africa. Published programme records cover Lower Juba (Afmadow and Dhobley) and Lower Shabelle (Marka and Kurtunwarey), with child protection work in Mogadishu and Baidoa and an office in Kenya. Programmes run where the need is, including places where access is the first problem to solve rather than an afterthought.
Figures produced by the field
Participants and the relevant line departments evaluate each project on the ground. Regional offices consolidate the monthly returns into quarterly reports, so the numbers a funder receives are the ones the field produced.
Design set by the community
Projects emanate from the needs a local community expresses, in their own order of priority. That is why conflict management is built into agriculture, health and education work rather than run as a separate programme.
Capacity that stays local
Self-reliance is the stated exit condition. Structures, committees and skills are meant to remain after a grant closes, which is what makes the next project cheaper to run.
The documents assessment teams ask for.
Our published material is grouped so a due-diligence checklist can be worked through in one visit. If a document you need is not there, ask and we will send it.
Governance and accountability
Constitution, policies and the accountability documents most checklists open with.

For programme results in plain language, the impact stories show what individual projects changed.
