About Us
Drylands Africa Concern (DAfC) is a humanitarian and development organization working to build resilience of vulnerable communities through innovative and evidence-based sustainable solutions in the drylands. The agency aims to support local institutions and vulnerable populations living in fragile and complex drylands to build resilient livelihood systems.
We acknowledge that DAfC can’t do it alone! Therefore, DAfC works in partnership with dryland communities, humanitarian and development partners, governments, research, and academic institutions, think tanks, private sector and the donor community to deliver on its mandate.
Our Mission
To enhance drylands’ population resilience to face global challenges. We promote innovative and evidence-based economic, social, and ecological development in the drylands. We achieve our mission by creating opportunities for the dryland population seeking to improve their lives and livelihoods through their own locally driven initiatives to address the challenges of poverty, food insecurity, malnutrition, biodiversity loss, climate change and environmental degradation.
