Governance and Economic Development
Active in the Somali urban sector for over 10 years implementing sustainable development interventions
Sustainable Urban Development
FARCTS has been active in the Somali urban sector for more than 10 years and has implemented a portfolio of interventions worth millions of dollars with communities, local authorities, state governments, and the Federal Government of Somalia across all Somali regions.
The activities have evolved from targeting immediate local needs to more systematic attempts to address sustainable urban development. FARCTS has completed a wide range of projects in the areas of local governance, capacity building, infrastructure development, livelihood, and shelter development for vulnerable urban populations, youth, and public service delivery.
Our deep understanding of the local context, combined with international expertise, allows us to design and implement effective governance and economic development interventions that address the unique challenges and opportunities in Somalia.
