Economic empowerment is a cornerstone of thriving societies. Every individual has the right to secure a livelihood, improve the well-being of their family, and participate as an equal member in the economic and social life of their community. ARDO is committed to building pathways to improved livelihoods, ensuring that dignity and opportunity are universal rather than privileges reserved for a few.
Our work focuses on poverty reduction through inclusive and sustainable economic growth, targeting the empowerment of women, youth, and other marginalized groups. We create livelihood opportunities through entrepreneurial skills development, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), and the establishment of savings groups and business cooperatives for women, across both rural and urban areas of Somaliland.
Recognizing the vital role of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) in growing economies — particularly in least developed countries — ARDO works to strengthen the private sector across Somaliland. SMEs are a key source of job creation and household income; our interventions are designed to nurture the private sector and catalyse investment in sustainable SMEs that contribute to long-term economic growth.
