Introduction of the organization and position.
Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe (DKH) is an International Humanitarian Agency headquartered
in Germany. The non-profit organization was founded in 1954 and provides humanitarian aid
in 31 countries worldwide with 121 projects implemented by over 116 local partners. Our
mission is to restore the life and hope of people in dignity, empower our partners, and invest
in preparedness, response, and resilience together with our partners. DKH supports people
who are affected by natural disasters, war, and displacement and who are not able to cope on
their own in the emergency they find themselves in. We focus on locally-led responses by
working through a global network of partner organizations, fostering localized humanitarian
action and an equal partnership approach. We are committed to strengthening local partner
organizations’ administrative and technical capacities by facilitating mutual learning and
capacity exchange, identifying innovative and tailored models of cooperation, and shifting
power to partners and communities through the transfer of decision-making opportunities.
Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe painstakingly observes its aim not to become an instrument for
political, economic, or military interests, particularly in conflict areas. Our core values include
accountability, being a learning organization, honesty, integrity, impartiality, transparency,
and independence. DKH’s thematic areas are (1) Protection and Psychosocial Support, (2)
Food Security and Nutrition, (3) Cash and Voucher Assistance, Markets and Livelihood, (4)
Humanitarian disaster risk reduction and the Climate Crisis.
In Somalia, DKH has been running intensive relief programs for more than twenty years. In
recent years, DKH and its local partner organizations implemented also transitional aid
programs. In close cooperation with its local partner organizations, DKH works across several
sectors including WASH, Shelter/Non-Food Items, CCCM, Education in Emergencies, Food
Security, and Livelihoods.
