At the beginning of November, we held a gender policy sensitization workshop in Negelle Borana with 60 participants from Women Peace Forums and local government offices in East Borana Zone.
Together, we explored gender policies, challenges women face in leadership, and decision making as well as the support systems that help them participate fully in leadership and decision-making.
Empowered women strengthen entire communities.

APCfC, in collaboration with the Woreda Water, Energy and Mining Office, has completed the rehabilitation of the Lagasure Kebele water pipeline, which connects Xille Mado to Lagasure.
After a year damage, the system was restored between 10–18 November 2025, securing reliable access to safe water for the community.
The rehabilitated water point now serves 550 households (300 men and 250 women), improving daily living conditions and strengthening community resilience.
This intervention reflects our continued commitment to expanding equitable and sustainable water access across pastoralist areas.

We’re excited to train 30 amazing women leaders from Liban Woreda east Borana zone Oromia , in Hawassa central hotel, all made possible with support from GIZ Civil Peace Service Ethiopia.
They spent the day building skills in mediation, dialogue, and community conflict early-warning stepping confidently into roles that shape peace at the grassroots level.

We’re proud to share highlights from our recent sensitization workshops on gender policies, where 60 participants including Women Peace Forum members and local government representatives came together to discuss how to break barriers and strengthen women’s leadership in decision-making spaces.

Every conversation brings us closer to a more inclusive and equitable future.

We’re excited to share the establishment of three Women Peace Forums in Ogoba, Funan Agartu, and Rukesa Bim Kebeles of Liban Woreda, East Borana Zone!
Over the course of two days in each community, women came together to learn, share, and lead building spaces where dialogue replaces division. Following the sessions, 90 women and girls registered to continue the work of strengthening peace and resilience in their communities.
Every woman’s voice adds strength to the peace we build together.

APCfC , with technical support from Woreda and Zonal experts, has successfully rehabilitated the Fulo Gofa hybrid (motorized & solar) water scheme in Dire Woreda.
This water point is the only major source of water for Gololicha Kebele — serving both families and their livestock. For years, its non-functionality forced many to migrate in search of water.
Now restored, the scheme will benefit:
✅ 800 households (450 men & 350 women)
✅ 500 cattle, 4,500 sheep & goats, and 500 donkeys
The rehabilitation not only secures safe water access but also reduces the time and distance communities spend fetching water, allowing families to live healthier, more resilient lives.

APCfC successfully brought together 29 participants (15 male, 14 female) including producers, value chain actors, and key stakeholders to strengthen coordination platforms that drive sustainable market linkages and resilience.
Together, we spoke about:
* Building stronger value chain platforms.
* Bringing market opportunities closer to local communities.
* Ensuring government and community voices lead the way.
Every meeting is more than an agenda it’s a promise of change, a step toward dignity, and a path to stronger livelihoods.

Empowering Women, Strengthening Communities
APCfC worked with WSHG (women self-help group) leaders in Dire & Moyale to share their knowledge on savings and credit with more than 1,750 members.
From learning the benefits of saving to building strong by-laws and record keeping, women are now taking steps toward better financial practices and stronger futures.
Together, we rise!

Building Stronger Communities Together

Rebuilding Livelihoods in Borana Zone
From July 15 to August 4, 2025, APCfC Ethiopia helped drought-affected families in Dire and Moyale Woredas rebuild their herds through our ICSP Livelihood Recovery Activity.
What we did:
450 goats distributed to 90 households (45 in Dire – Dalaga & Gololicha kebeles, and 45 in Moyale – Bede & Lagasure kebeles).
Each family received 4 female goats and 1 male goat — for food security, breeding, and income generation.
All goats were screened, vaccinated, and treated in collaboration with Woreda Livestock Resources Development Offices — ensuring healthy and sustainable herds. (4 goats were rejected during screening.)
Together, we’re helping communities recover, rebuild, and thrive!
