About Trócaire

Trócaire is an international non-governmental organization (INGO) committed to addressing the root causes of poverty, injustice, and human suffering.

Through this dual approach, we strive to bring about positive and lasting change for a more just and equitable world.

Operating in up to 20 countries across Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East, Trócaire delivers both humanitarian assistance and long-term development support. Our programmes focus on promoting access to justice, advancing climate and environmental justice, ensuring the protection, voice, and influence of women and girls, saving lives and protecting human dignity, and mobilising the public in Ireland to contribute to global justice.

Our mission is rooted in Catholic Social Teaching and guided by the belief in the inherent dignity of every human person. We are committed to living out our core values of solidarity, courage, participation, perseverance, and accountability. These values shape our partnerships with communities, our advocacy efforts, and our humanitarian responses, ensuring that we remain steadfast in our vision of a just world where all people can live with dignity and hope.

Within this framework, Logistics in Trócaire Somalia operates under the Operations Department and plays a vital role in ensuring that programme supplies and services reach communities efficiently and on time. The unit manages transport, warehousing, fleet operations, and cross-border shipments from Kenya into Somalia, while safeguarding compliance with donor requirements, Trócaire policies, and regulatory authorities in both countries.

By coordinating the secure storage and timely delivery of nutrition, medical, and WASH supplies, Logistics enables programme teams and partners to overcome access challenges in fragile environments.
