Somali Sustainable Development Foundation

The Somali Sustainable Development Foundation (SSDF) is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation established to address Somalia’s urgent development challenges. 

 

SSDF focuses on critical areas such as infrastructure development, water and sanitation services, urban planning and climate resilience. Somalia faces frequent droughts, floods and displacement crises, compounded by inadequate drainage systems and poor urban infrastructure. SSDF was founded by experienced professionals with decades of international and local expertise in sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDs), flood mitigation, road and highway engineering, housing development and water infrastructure. Our foundation is committed to delivering innovative, practical and sustainable solutions to protect Somali communities and build a resilient future.
