Strengthening community managed drought risk reduction in Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia (SCMDRR)
This study report aims to map the grazing corridors for the Garre and Degodia clans in Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia, as part of the mechanism of minimizing drought risks. It presents the major problems associated with drought risk reduction strategies in the project area: (i) communities and governments’ that are poorly equipped in drought risk identification, risk monitoring and early warning; (ii) communities and governments that are ill-prepared to respond to drought disaster; and (iii) communities that are not resilient to shocks and have no locally generated plans to respond to disaster. The report calls for a more pro-active approach in addressing disaster risk reduction issues for the arid land inhabitants in the Horn of Africa.
