Introduction

Candlelight is a local, non-governmental, non-profit making, non-political developmental organization dedicated to the improvement of the quality of life of the Somaliland community through the provision of appropriate education, promotion of basic health care, elementary training in environmental conservation, and the creation of employment through viable income generating activities. Candlelight works to relieve the suffering of the poorest and most marginalized and underserved people giving them hope and opportunities to improve their lot through disaster response and sustainable community development. We work with communities all over the world to enable them find solutions to their own problems and challenges.

M&E System also helps individuals and teams to be accountable to stakeholders through information sharing and developing a complaints and response mechanism which can help to guide program implementation.
