c) Peace building and Protection – As is often the case in conflict-affected communities, much of the impact of the Somali conflict is borne by women and youth. SADI has actively promoted women’s participation in peace building initiatives with the aim of enabling women to articulate and advocate for their socio-economic and political interests.

1. SADI responds to this by involvement in:
   1. Cash-based program
   2. Water trucking
   3. Distribution of food and non-food items

f) Food Security and livelihoods – Pastoral African Communities have built a rich cultural base that has sustained their ways of life for centuries. However, years of conflicts like the case in Somalia and civil war have left the pastoral economy depressed and without the ability of coping mechanism.
