Protection Programming

“A National Force Empowering Somalia’s Resilience”

Protection Programming

In the context of Somalia, SAAH’s dedicated focus on protection programming has proven instrumental in ensuring the safety and well-being of displaced persons and vulnerable communities. Through meticulous protection monitoring and identification of protection concerns, SAAH effectively addresses the unique challenges faced by those affected by displacement and conflict. The facilitation of access to essential services through a robust referral system ensures that beneficiaries receive the support they need. SAAH’s commitment to individual protection assistance and support further empowers individuals to rebuild their lives with dignity and security. The organization’s unwavering efforts in preventing sexual and gender-based violence are crucial in promoting a safer environment for displaced persons. By raising awareness and advocating for the rights of those displaced, SAAH actively contributes to the protection and empowerment of Somalia’s most vulnerable populations.

Under the Protection thematic area, SAAH addresses several critical subtopics to ensure the safety, well-being, and rights of displaced populations and vulnerable communities in Somalia.

General Protection
SAAH recognizes the overarching importance of general protection measures to safeguard the human rights and dignity of all individuals affected by displacement and conflict. Through a comprehensive and rights-based approach, SAAH works tirelessly to advocate for the protection of vulnerable populations, regardless of age, gender, or background. By conducting protection monitoring and assessment, the organization identifies risks and vulnerabilities faced by the affected communities, enabling tailored interventions. SAAH’s presence and engagement within the communities create safe spaces for open dialogue and support, fostering a protective environment that promotes social cohesion and resilience.

Child Protection

Children constitute one of the most vulnerable groups in crisis situations, requiring specialized care and attention. SAAH’s child protection initiatives prioritize the well-being and rights of children affected by displacement. Through community-based child protection mechanisms, SAAH seeks to prevent and respond to various forms of abuse, exploitation, and violence against children. By facilitating access to education, psychosocial support, and recreational activities, the organization aims to restore a sense of normalcy and childhood for affected children. SAAH also collaborates with local authorities and partners to reunite separated children with their families, ensuring their safety and holistic development.
Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
The issue of Housing, Land, and Property rights is critical for displaced populations in Somalia. SAAH works to protect and promote the rights of individuals and communities concerning housing, land, and property ownership. By providing legal assistance and awareness on HLP rights, SAAH empowers displaced families to assert their rightful claims and prevent forced evictions and dispossession. The organization collaborates with local authorities and stakeholders to establish secure tenure systems and land dispute resolution mechanisms, promoting stability and social cohesion. Through livelihood support and income generation programs, SAAH also aims to enhance access to housing and property, ensuring that affected communities can rebuild their lives and secure a sustainable future.
