PACIDA

What PACIDA does

PACIDA is a non-profit organization headquartered in Marsabit, in northern Kenya, founded in 2008. The organization currently employs 53 staff, suggesting a small-to-mid-sized operational footprint typical of community-based NGOs working in remote, pastoralist regions of East Africa.

The available data does not disclose PACIDA's specific program areas, beneficiary populations, funding sources, or operational scope. The organization's primary web presence (pacida.org) returned only a verification/loading screen at the time of data collection, leaving core programmatic and governance information inaccessible. No products, technology assets, partnerships, certifications, leadership roster, or regulatory registrations were captured in the input.

As a Kenya-based non-profit of approximately 17 years' standing, PACIDA operates in a geographic context — Marsabit County — that is associated with pastoralist livelihoods, arid-land development challenges, and limited NGO density. The absence of disclosed financials, donor mix, or program metrics in the input means that revenue mechanics, GTM motion, and customer/beneficiary segmentation cannot be characterized from this evidence base. Any due diligence beyond this profile will require direct engagement with the organization or authoritative third-party NGO databases.

• ACTED: French INGO with operational presence in Kenya implementing humanitarian and development programs, including in arid and pastoralist contexts comparable to Marsabit.
• SNV Netherlands Development Organisation: International development organization working on agriculture, WASH, and renewable energy in Kenya, including pastoralist systems. Comparable target communities and development mandate.

• Concern Worldwide: Ireland-based INGO with active livelihoods, nutrition, and emergency programming in Kenya's arid and semi-arid lands, including Marsabit County.

Direct peers
