About AECBED

Redefining the Future of Conservation

Our vision goes beyond projects. We design programs that stay useful for families, fishers, farmers, and schools long after the first season.

  • Enduring stewardship
  • Climate-ready coasts
  • Precision in delivery
  • Future-ready youth

Conservation here is about how people live, learn, and earn. Healthy land and a working blue economy belong together.

  • People-centered plans
  • Clean water access
  • Food that lasts
  • Dignified livelihoods

AECBED’s work rests on community craft, coastal knowledge, and a duty to leave Somalia’s landscapes stronger than we found them.

  • Local leadership
  • Shared craft
  • Trusted partnerships
  • Living heritage

Active cities: Mogadishu, Afgooye, Marka, Jowhar, Baidoa, Barawe, Kismayo, and Bardhere.
