Areas of Specialization

Where we create lasting impact

Three interlinked areas of expertise anchor every CoD engagement — from the field to national policy.

A

Environmental Protection & Climate Change

Our core focus. CoD is a leader in environmental defense and climate resilience in Somalia — implementing community-led interventions targeting desertification control, rangeland management, water-resource conservation and climate-adaptation strategies, hand-in-hand with ministries, cooperatives and rural communities.

B

Policy Development, Analysis & Institutional Strengthening

We design grassroots and national-level environmental policies, regulatory frameworks and operational guidelines — including comprehensive institutional capacity assessments for the Ministry of Environment in Puntland, acknowledged by partners such as the World Bank and UNDP.

C

Research, Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning (RME)

We deliver rigorous, evidence-based research that guarantees donor accountability and transparency, using cutting-edge mobile data systems (Kobo Toolbox) and advanced methodologies to evaluate environmental, food-security and livelihood programs across remote and complex environments.
