The Agency for Peace and Development (APD) is a registered not for profit non-governmental organization (NGO) established in 2006 by a group of dedicated local professionals in response to the humanitarian and development challenges facing communities in the Horn of Africa at large. The organization is legally registered with relevant authorities in Somalia, Kenya, and Ethiopia. APD’s headquarters is based in Nairobi, Kenya, with key coordination offices in Mogadishu, Somalia, and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, alongside an extensive network of field offices across multiple regions.
Since its establishment, APD has grown into a reputable and trusted organization with strong grassroots presence and operational reach in accessible, hard-to-reach and underserved areas.
