SEDO thus works with the community in the identification of the social problems and design of intervention.<\/p>\n

SEDO was, and still is, a part of the efforts to reduce and prevent piracy and entrench provision of alternativelivelihood opportunities targeting young people in Puntland. SEDO intends to increase the visibility of, and confidencein, government by improving government service delivery. it is working with local leaders and groups to createcollaborative partnerships between government institutions, the private sector, and civil society, and increase access to information needed to promote peace, recovery, and development for Somalia.<\/p>\n

The organization seeks to address impediments and bottlenecks to social progress through alleviation of targeted human depravity acts on the resources which have contributed more to natural threat of floods, drought, and erosion agents; as well as, the foreign fishing fleets degrading its essential aquatic environment. It works with the local authority in addressing environmental conservation mechanisms specifically on the issue of fishing practices most of which have openly interfered with the fish resources off the cost of Bossaso.<\/p>\n

The organization is headquartered in Bossaso and has the ability to operate in the entire Somalia. Its current programs are concentrated in Puntland.<\/p>\n

SEDO was founded in 2010 by a group of Somali intellectuals that had been inclusively involved in the environmental conservation and community service at various levels prior to official registration. These members have unified theirhuman resource to form this environment organization.<\/p>\n

The organization is nonprofit, nonpolitical, nonpartisan with the singular objective of social progress. Its is officially registered with the relevant authority at the federal state level in Puntland and nationally at the FGS.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u201d1\/3\u2033 offset=\u201dvc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6\u2033][vc_single_image image=\u201d4219\u2033 img_size=\u201dlarge\u201d alignment=\u201dcenter\u201d][vc_empty_space][gva_block_heading title=\u201dWhat We Are Doing\u201d style=\u201dstyle-2\u2033 align=\u201dalign-left\u201d][\/gva_block_heading][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/2\u2033 offset=\u201dvc_col-xs-6\u2033][gva_icon_box title=\u201dEducation\u201d icon=\u201dgv-icon-1083\u2033 icon_position=\u201dtop-left-title\u201d link=\u201dhttps:\/\/sedosomalia.org\/?page_id=4223\u2033 icon_width=\u201dfa-2x\u201d icon_border=\u201dborder-1\u2033 icon_radius=\u201dradius-5x\u201d hidden_desc=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_shadown=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_background=\u201d#fff\u201d][gva_icon_box title=\u201dWater\u201d icon=\u201dgv-icon-1315\u2033 icon_position=\u201dtop-left-title\u201d link=\u201dhttps:\/\/sedosomalia.org\/?page_id=4241\u2033 icon_width=\u201dfa-2x\u201d icon_border=\u201dborder-1\u2033 icon_radius=\u201dradius-5x\u201d hidden_desc=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_shadown=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_background=\u201d#fff\u201d][gva_icon_box title=\u201dLivelihood\u201d icon=\u201dgv-icon-1611\u2033 icon_position=\u201dtop-left-title\u201d link=\u201dhttps:\/\/sedosomalia.org\/?page_id=4349\u2033 icon_width=\u201dfa-2x\u201d icon_border=\u201dborder-1\u2033 icon_radius=\u201dradius-5x\u201d hidden_desc=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_shadown=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_background=\u201d#fff\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/2\u2033 offset=\u201dvc_col-xs-6\u2033][gva_icon_box title=\u201dEnvironmental Management\u201d icon=\u201dgv-icon-1570\u2033 icon_position=\u201dtop-left-title\u201d link=\u201dhttps:\/\/sedosomalia.org\/?page_id=4217\u2033 icon_width=\u201dfa-2x\u201d icon_border=\u201dborder-1\u2033 icon_radius=\u201dradius-5x\u201d hidden_desc=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_shadown=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_background=\u201d#fff\u201d][gva_icon_box title=\u201dHealth Services\u201d icon=\u201dgv-icon-1290\u2033 icon_position=\u201dtop-left-title\u201d link=\u201dhttps:\/\/sedosomalia.org\/?page_id=4252\u2033 icon_width=\u201dfa-2x\u201d icon_border=\u201dborder-1\u2033 icon_radius=\u201dradius-5x\u201d hidden_desc=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_shadown=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_background=\u201d#fff\u201d][gva_icon_box title=\u201dSocial Innovation\u201d icon=\u201dgv-icon-1593\u2033 icon_position=\u201dtop-left-title\u201d link=\u201dhttps:\/\/sedosomalia.org\/?page_id=4341\u2033 icon_width=\u201dfa-2x\u201d icon_border=\u201dborder-1\u2033 icon_radius=\u201dradius-5x\u201d hidden_desc=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_shadown=\u201dtrue\u201d icon_background=\u201d#fff\u201d][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/2\u2033 offset=\u201dvc_col-xs-6\u2033][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\u201d1\/2\u2033 offset=\u201dvc_col-xs-6\u2033][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row isfullwidth=\u201d0\u2033 css=\u201d.vc_custom_1534492297757{background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: repeat !important;}\u201d][vc_column width=\u201d1\/2\u2033 offset=\u201dvc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6\u2033][gva_block_heading title=\u201dGoal\u201d style=\u201dstyle-2\u2033 align=\u201dalign-left\u201d]Promote and enhance fundamental human rights and creation of a safe and equitable environment for quality growth and socio-economic wellbeing of every person including women and children.[\/gva_block_heading][gva_block_heading title=\u201dVision\u201d style=\u201dstyle-2\u2033 align=\u201dalign-left\u201d]SEDO is a Non-profit Institution committed to reduce the poverty and social inequity through empowering communities to understanding the local resource management best practices.[\/gva_block_heading][gva_block_heading title=\u201dMission\u201d style=\u201dstyle-2\u2033 align=\u201dalign-left\u201d]Provision of diversified sustainable livelihood and social development opportunities to enable healthy andeconomically secure HHs through awareness, capacity building, and trainings.[\/gva_block_heading][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\u201d1\/2\u2033][gva_block_heading style=\u201dstyle-2\u2033 align=\u201dalign-left\u201d subtitle=\u201dBelief System\u201d]The organization believe that all people are of equal value and have the same rights; but born in to inequalitycircumstances and opportunity that can be changed.[\/gva_block_heading][gva_block_heading style=\u201dstyle-2\u2033 align=\u201dalign-left\u201d subtitle=\u201dCore values\u201d]<\/p>\n
