## What it does

Concern Worldwide is an Irish humanitarian organisation. It says 2026 marks its 40th year in Somalia ([Concern Worldwide](https://www.concern.net/where-we-work/somalia)). It lists these areas of work:

- **Emergencies:** water and sanitation, such as wells in Baidoa.
- **Health and nutrition:** support to outpatient clinics and treatment of acute malnutrition.
- **Education:** free schooling for more than 10,000 children in Banadir and [Lower Shabelle](/en/infrastructure/k50-airstrip/).
- **Livelihoods:** self-help groups and training.
- **Child hunger across borders:** the Hanaano initiative, which also covers Ethiopia and Kenya ([Concern Worldwide](https://www.concern.net/where-we-work/somalia)).

## Where it works

Concern says it worked across seven regions in 2025. Places it names include Mogadishu, Daynile district in Banadir, Baidoa and Lower Shabelle ([Concern Worldwide](https://www.concern.net/where-we-work/somalia)).

## What it reports doing

For 2025 Concern reports reaching about 372,000 people directly and about 947,000 indirectly, more than 1.32 million in all, with €18.8 million of donor funding by the end of the year ([Concern Worldwide](https://www.concern.net/where-we-work/somalia)).

## Partners

It works in the Somalia Cash Consortium and the BRCiS resilience consortium, and supports health facilities through Caafimaad Plus. Funders it names include Irish Aid, the European Union and its humanitarian office ECHO, the UK's FCDO, WFP and UNICEF ([Concern Worldwide](https://www.concern.net/where-we-work/somalia)).

## The money

OCHA's Financial Tracking Service (FTS) records humanitarian funding that donors and agencies report to it. It is not the whole budget of an organisation, and recent years are still being filled in. FTS lists these amounts received by Concern for work in Somalia ([OCHA FTS](https://fts.unocha.org/countries/206/summary/2025)):

| Year | Humanitarian funding recorded (US$) |
|---|---|
| 2024 | US$9.7 million |
| 2025 | US$10.2 million |
| 2026, to November | US$17.0 million |

The same figures for 212 organisations are on [this site's aid funding list](/en/institutions/aid-organisations-funding-2024-2026/).

## How to use it

Concern publishes an annual report with its objectives and results for each year ([Concern Worldwide](https://www.concern.net/where-we-work/somalia)). Funding for other NGOs is on [this site's aid funding list](/en/institutions/aid-organisations-funding-2024-2026/).
