The year 2020 was a rather eventful year for us. We had many achievements and made progress on several fronts despite the COVID –19 pandemic that created an unprecedented crisis for all of us. We are all living amidst extreme uncertainty which affects the marginalized and vulnerable populations the most. It is indeed heartening to see how NGOs and organizations like PSA have risen to the occasion in helping these communities during these trying times. As soon as the pandemic broke out in Somalia, we had to re-prioritize our activities.
While we continued to work on our long-term mission we identified areas where PSA could make an impact. We raised an appeal to mobilise resources for the vulnerable groups impacted. Our teams have been deeply engaged in coordinating with our partners to reach out to IDPs, essential service providers and frontline workers. While we have been overwhelmed by the support we have received from our partners – both existing partners and new donors, we realise that the job carved out for us in the years to come is enormous. There will be several societal changes that will be permanent in nature.
We realize our increased responsibilities and the role of PSA will become even more meaningful in the times to come. The task is large and our association with UN agencies will help join with others to scale our efforts in rolling more programs and projects on socio—economic development. On behalf of the Board of directors I would like to thank the PSA staff for working so tirelessly and also thank both our donors and NGO partners including Puntland state government for supporting us throughout the year. Our affiliation with them has helped us stay in tune with the global trends and best governance practices. This helps us in building trust with.
Finally, PSA categorically thank UNHCR, UNICEF, SSF, Government and all stakeholders who have supported us in implementing meaningful development programs across the region. We, at PSA are committed to transforming lives and communities, and we will continue to do so, with your unwavering support.
