What We Do
Our Strategic Pillars
Our programs span six interconnected strategic areas — turning local challenges into lasting opportunities for dignity, inclusion, and development across East Africa.
Climate-Smart Livelihoods and Economic Opportunity
Driving inclusive economic resilience through climate-smart livelihoods, market systems and enterprise development. APID enables women, youth and vulnerable households to diversify incomes, access finance, strengthen productive assets and connect to sustainable economic opportunities that withstand climate and market shocks.
Peacebuilding, Social Cohesion & Inclusive Governance
Strengthening locally led peace systems, accountable governance and inclusive decision-making. APID builds resilient communities by transforming conflict, strengthening community institutions, promoting citizen engagement and enhancing collaboration between communities and government to foster lasting peace and social cohesion.
Water Security and Natural Resource Governance
Advancing climate-resilient infrastructure and sustainable natural resource governance. APID strengthens equitable access to water, resilient infrastructure and community-led resource governance to reduce climate risks, improve livelihoods and promote peaceful management of shared resources.
Protection, Human Capital and Community Wellbeing
Protecting dignity while strengthening human capital and community resilience. APID integrates safeguarding, health, education, nutrition and social protection into resilience programming to reduce vulnerability, enhance wellbeing and empower women, youth and children to realize their full potential.
