Wadi partners: Food security and disaster resilience through sustainable drylands management in North Darfur, Sudan

This interactive case study documents the lessons learned from applying Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR) along a 40 km stretch of a seasonal water body, or wadi, in the Kilimondo locality, State of North Darfur, Sudan. The report features human-interest stories, reflections from project partners, as well as a short video, which provide the reader with first-hand experience of the context, project activities and impacts.

The project had three main components:

1. Undertaking Eco-DRR field interventions in a drylands context, such as improved access to water, community forestry and re-seeding of degraded pastureland;
2. Strengthening sustainable and equitable natural resource governance, such as through the establishment of a water resources management committee, demarcation of a pastoralist migratory route and improving agricultural support services; and
3. Developing local community, state- and national-level capacities for Eco-DRR implementation.
