As the year 2024 begins, we remain committed to our original vision. We believe that in the struggle lie the opportunity. We believe that there’s a huge market where a market doesn’t look visible, and we are setting out to pursue the creation of opportunities among non-consumers. The world looks at Nigeria and sees poverty, unemployment and massive workplace unproductivity, we look at the same place and see a heavy population that can be converted in a continental asset through market creating innovation. We’re ready to defy conventions, find a path and create a way where there seems to be none.

The migration of maladjusted people can generate a series of problems in society, both in the present and in the future. Some of these problems include: 1. Discrimination and xenophobia: The presence of maladjusted people in a country can generate rejection and discrimination by the local population, which can lead to social conflicts and intercultural tensions. 2. Integration problems: Maladjusted people may have difficulties integrating into the host society, which can lead to problems of social exclusion, unemployment and marginalization. 3. Security problems: The presence of maladjusted people in a country can increase the perception of insecurity among the local population, which can lead to an increase in crime and violence. 4. Overload of public services: The massive arrival of maladjusted people can generate an overload in public services, such as health, education or housing, which can negatively affect the quality of life of the local population. In the future, these problems may worsen if adequate measures are not taken to address the situation of maladjusted people. It is important to promote integration and social cohesion policies that allow these people to adapt to their new reality and contribute positively to the host society. It is also essential to promote respect for diversity and peaceful coexistence between different cultures and communities.

Rufmo Consulting Ltd, a distinguished partner of the USAID-funded Cross-Border Community Resilience (CBCR) initiative, has undertaken a groundbreaking endeavor. We conducted an extensive Social Network Analysis (SNA) within the Mandera Triangle, encompassing the cross-border regions of Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia. This comprehensive report sheds light on our efforts to comprehend and map the intricate web of actors operating within CBCR's targeted domains of intervention, including social cohesion, livelihoods, and natural resource management. Through meticulous research and analysis, we unraveled the complex tapestry of relationships, information dissemination, existing gaps, and potential barriers that shape these crucial sectors. Our study identified three distinct categories of actors: Central Nodes: These pivotal organizations or individuals stand as well-connected hubs, pivotal sources and repositories of vital information, and influential drivers of change. Knowledge Brokers: Acting as bridge builders, these entities facilitate connections between different groups, fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration. Peripheral Actors: Representing unconnected entities, these actors are at risk of being marginalized within the network, highlighting the significance of their integration. Our accomplishment is particularly noteworthy as this research marks the first of its kind within the region. Our commitment to innovation is further underscored by our selection as one of only 16 research organizations entrusted with distinct investigations as part of the broader initiative. We proudly paved the way by being the inaugural agency to present our findings and secure approval for our comprehensive report. Should you require the expertise of professionals who have already demonstrated unparalleled proficiency in pioneering methodologies, you need not look any further. At Rufmo Consulting Ltd, we stand poised to deliver a range of services tailored to your unique needs.

Social resilience refers to a society’s ability to effectively cope with and recover from disruptions or disasters. Optimism and hope are some of its cornerstones and can help gauge the likelihood of a successful recovery. According to the most recent Swords of Iron survey conducted by INSS, the majority of the Israeli public (61%) expressed optimism about the ability of Israeli society to recover from the current crisis and thrive. It is worth noting, however, that there is a disparity in optimism between Israeli Jews (65%) and Arabs (only 36%). Furthermore, while at the beginning of the war over 80% of Jewish respondents described themselves as optimistic to some degree, the rate of optimists has decreased as the war progressed. The significant gaps between sectors within Israeli society, as well as the diminishing optimism, raise concerns about Israel’s social resilience and the prospects of successful recovery for Israeli society and its different sectors.

A lot of learning from the Gurage community - The gurage community is a community with wonderful values. 1) Ethiopian loyalty and the cultural values do not violate it * As a community's positive and negatively historical events, as the community's positive and negative historical events, it is not a bottic community and inferiority. The formation of the Employment of Ethiopia, "I am" ▪ Somehow is not a community that is credible because of the integrity of some. And the dozen society of dominant domination is not anxious and murder! 2) He did not need to overtourize from existing national symbol to be a grunge. ▪ It uses his language ÷ The team's bond is strong at the time of the family and glorifies his family and the tradition. There is no idea and group that he says that I'm written. There is no specific political movement that works for his own. Eat me, let me love my cup, and let me curse my cup of money. All of them shakely shakes his traditional values, and the supervised monitoring of the poor values are saved in love. If you do not send you my dress and my dance, it does not say. He does his own. He liked and honors him. It only uses Soft POWER. The Ethiopian lowliance was not descended in a group flight for 30 years. All of the country is a people. 3) does not go into competition for the community economic change ▪ It's a strong worker. It was changed in all Ethiopia and changed. Least Row Works: The Restail Business): Working up to the highest economic actor, etc. ▪ It is also understanding: a society of social contract. Social capital values are supported by the Social capital values, such as a signifricant middle incompetence in academic. It is probably a population of the most productive product of employment transfer. ▪ It is a community that does not affect the rent and economic rental consent of political authority and economic rentualization for creating resources and change. Excuse does not hear that we are not responsible for the poor.

I was recently working with a nonprofit that struggled to make an impact in other countries due to difficulties in finding individuals who share the same passion for addressing poverty issues abroad. This challenge is understandable, considering that many people focus on helping their own hometowns, cities, or countries first. Additionally, language barriers and limited publicly available information make it hard to establish connections in the countries they aim to help. Fortunately, technology offered a solution. A team of international researchers, adept in research, developed a platform that simplifies the process of finding individuals in other countries who share the same desire to reduce poverty in their areas. This platform is a game-changer. Instead of randomly reaching out to wealthy individuals and hoping they will care about the cause, nonprofits can now easily identify and connect with locals in the target country who are willing, and more importantly, eager to support the same vision. Working with this team was an amazing experience. To all my fellow international nonprofits out there: look to technology. It can unlock opportunities previously unknown.

𝟱 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 (𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗘𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲) 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 Success in the humanitarian sector isn’t just about handling big challenges; often, it’s about how well you manage the small details. Avoiding common, minor errors can greatly enhance your effectiveness and accelerate your personal and professional growth. Here are five small but critical mistakes many people make in this field—and how fixing these can make a big difference: 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 #𝟭: 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 Many enthusiastic workers in the humanitarian field take on too many projects or promise more than they can deliver, leading to stress and burnout. It’s crucial to assess your capacity realistically and communicate limitations clearly to maintain trust and effectiveness. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 #𝟮: 𝗡𝗲𝗴𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲 Often, those new to the field might overlook the insights and knowledge of local communities and stakeholders. Building partnerships and respecting local insights not only enhances the impact of projects but also builds local capacity and trust. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 #𝟯: 𝗜𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Documentation is vital in tracking the progress of any project, especially in humanitarian work where accountability to donors and stakeholders is key. Neglecting this can lead to misunderstandings and a lack of evidence for the successes or learning points of a project. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 #𝟰: 𝗣𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 Effective communication is essential, particularly in a field that often deals with sensitive and urgent issues. Failing to communicate clearly and promptly can lead to inefficiencies and errors in program execution. 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 #𝟱: 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 The intensity of humanitarian work can lead to neglect of one’s own physical and mental health. Prioritizing self-care is essential not just for personal health, but to maintain the stamina needed to effectively help others.
