DISASTER MANAGEMENT

The primary objective of the program is to collaborate with communities on disaster management initiatives, focusing on Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) to significantly mitigate the adverse impacts of droughts and other disasters, thus safeguarding the lives, livelihoods, and community assets.

This initiative aims to enhance the resilience of target groups by addressing the nexus between drought-resistant livelihoods, natural resource management, inter-communal conflict resolution, and long-term developmental priorities in the region.
