Pastoralists Society of ASAL Network (PSAN) was founded on the 4th of September 2024 by a group of energetic activists, who came together with the objective of improving and upgrading communities in the Arid and Semi-Arid Regions. They also realized the necessity of this establishment as a means of contributing to development and meeting communities needs which has been the driving force and motivation.
Another motivating factor to the establishment of PSAN is the interest that agencies and other international humanitarian institutions operating in the Arid and Semi-Arid Regions had to see local organizations spring up for development. Their encouragement of the foundation of local organizations and promises to help local organizations improve capacity
building; in order to create participation in development at community levels led to the establishment of PSAN.

PSAN has also decided to join the team of Visionaries yearning to impact and develop the Arid and Semi-Arid Regions. PSAN like other Non-Governmental Organizations and International Humanitarian institutions, we aim at achieving sustainable results from developmental activities and initiatives to our communities, especially with the youth, children, women, widows and the disabled.
Most of these regions have seen deteriorations in many areas especially at community levels. Also there have been many instances of concern where humanitarian activities havent been implemented as projected. Some NGOs and even the Government authorities who have promised to bring certain developments, improvements or interventions have in many cases failed the people of Arid and Semi-Arid Regions and this goes a long way to affect the sustainable development of the region.
