Organisation  Profile

Hirda is a development and relief organisation that works with others to find lasting solutions to poverty and suffering in Somalia and in particular in Gedo, lower Jubba and Galgudud regions.

Project implementation

Any project we carry out has mainly two phases: -
Planning: includes setting up project proposal and fund raising. Implementation and missions: once sufficient fund is found, the project is implemented. If is necessary, a mission is sent to the site prior to project implementation. Project follow-up, progress report writing and financial statement are all integral part of project implementation.

Staff

A managing board chaired by Eng. Mohamed A.Egal governs HIRDA. It is staffed with intellectuals with different educational background. We have a local staff in the field. It is them who carry out the projects in the field. Based on the suggestions of the local staff, the board devices the policy and the road map of HIRDA activities either implementation or planning.
