Adeso, formerly known as Horn Relief, is a non-governmental organization founded in 1991 by Fatima Jibrell. The organization started at the grassroots level, working in one town in Somalia, Badhan, working with women, youth and pastoralism. It has now grown into an international organization working in three countries - Somalia, Kenya and South Sudan - with its headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya. == History == In 1991, Fatima Jibrell founded the Horn of Africa Relief and Development Organization in Connecticut, USA, in response to the devastation of the Somali civil war and the devastation of her homeland, Somalia, its land and its people. Over time, the organization grew, and in 1998, then simply known as Horn Relief, it began its flagship Pastoral Youth Leadership Program in the Sanaag region of Somalia, known then as the Buran Rural Institute. The first class had 41 boys and 24 girls. In 2001, Adeso (still known as Horn Relief) held its first Camel Caravan in Somalia, where twenty young people walked for three weeks with nomadic pastoralists to learn about the environment, animal and human health, and peacemaking. In 2002, in response to Fatima Jibrell’s advocacy work, the Puntland Government banned the export of charcoal in the region. In recognition of her leadership in creating a social and environmental movement in Somalia, Adeso’s founder won the international Goldman Environmental Prize for Africa.〔http://www.goldmanprize.org/2002/africa〕 That brought greater international attention to development and environmental issues in Somalia. In 2003, the organization implemented the first large-scale cash transfer program in Somalia,〔Acacia Consultants (2004), Evaluation of Cash Relief Programme Implemented by Horn Relief, Oxfam Novib, http://adesoafrica.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/evaluation-of-cash-relief-program-Novib-HR-July-2004.pdf〕 and its Deputy Director at the time, Degan Ali, developed the first cash-transfer training curriculum to educate internal staff and partner agencies. In 2006, Fatima Jibrell retired as Executive Director, and was succeeded by Degan Ali. The following year, Fatima Jibrell won the National Geographic/Buffet Award for Leadership in African Conservation,〔http://www.nationalgeographic.com/explorers/explorers/buffett/〕 and the organization publishes a cash transfer implementation manual.〔http://adesoafrica.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/horn-relief-guidelines-for-cash-interventions-in-somalia-september-2010.pdf〕 In 2010, Adeso started its first country program in Kenya, and in 2011 it opened its first country program outside of the Horn of Africa, in South Sudan. In 2012, the organization changed its name from Horn Relief to Adeso, to reflect its expansion outside of the Horn of Africa, and its emphasis on development rather than simply relief work. In 2014, Somali-American actor Barkhad Abdi joined Adeso as a voluntary Goodwill Ambassador, to help give back to his country of birth through visibility and outreach.〔http://www.parade.com/255411/scottneumyer/barkhad-abdi-talks-captain-phillips-oscar-nominations-giving-back-to-somalia/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Adeso」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
