Economic Empowerment Programs

Everyone has the right to provide for themselves and their families, increase their well-being, and participate in developing the social, economic, and political situation of their societies as equal citizens.  By working access to better Livelihood, ARDO want to ensure that everyone can live a dignified life. 

Our objective is to reduce poverty by promoting inclusive, sustainable economic development, particularly through the employment of women, youth and vulnerable groups. We create new livelihood opportunities through entrepreneurship training, Technical Vocational Education Training (TVET) and saving groups and business cooperatives for women. We focus on both rural and urban areas Somaliland. 

In least developing countries, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) attract job seekers and contribute most of their incomes, which is why our projects support the private sector in all Somaliland. Investments in sustainable SMEs boost the long-term objective of generating economic growth.
