Diakonia is an international development organization with Christian values that works together with local partner organizations for sustainable change for the most vulnerable people in the world. We work for a just, equal and sustainable world to change political, economic, social and cultural structures that cause poverty, inequality, oppression and violence. Diakonia does not implement or carry out projects on its own. Instead, we support through funding and cooperate with local partner organizations to achieve our objectives.

Diakonia has about 400 partner organizations in 30 countries. In Sub-Saharan Africa, Diakonia employs 100 staff at country offices in Mozambique, DRC, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Uganda, Kenya, Somalia, Mali and Burkina Faso and the Regional Office in Kenya.

The Somalia Country Office has 3 programmes: Social and Economic Justice; Democracy & Human Rights; and Emergency Response and Disaster Resilience. Under these programmes, Diakonia is working with 13 partners in Somalia. The portfolio of Diakonia partners includes those that Diakonia has worked with over a long period of time while others are new partners. In addition, the portfolio includes government institutions.”
