Disaster Risk Reduction
The main goal of the programme is to work with the communities on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) to ensure negative effects of drought and other disasters are reduced significantly to save lives of the community members and their livelihoods and foundation of community assets.
This helps to build the resilience of the target groups to bridge the existing gap between drought resilient livelihoods, natural resource management, inter-communal conflict management and the long-term development concerns in the region.
