ACF is committed to people with disabilities and actively fights against all forms of discrimination.
ACF is managing to navigate within the complex political and security environment. Acceptance with all actors combined with a solid monitoring of the situation is what allows ACF to implement in the broader South. The ACF guesthouse and office is housed in two multi-storeyed buildings located by the sea in Khormaskar neighbourhood, which is 10 minutes’ drive from the Aden International Airport. The buildings are fortified for safety and security purposes and have fully equipped bunkers with hibernation kits for use in the event of external threats. The facility has office space for up to around 30 staff and combined guesthouse space for 5 international staff with some rooms having attached bathrooms and others having shared bathroom. The improved security situation in Aden has since seen the reconstruction of infrastructure across the city, reopening of social facilities such as parks, coffee/fast food restaurants and shopping malls accessible based on local operating procedures and guidelines issued by ACF’s security team.
