In 2016–2017, Somalia faced one of its harshest droughts in recent history. However, the ongoing drought has not led to famine thanks primarily to large-scale humanitarian assistance. While the last deyr rains (October-December 2017) were slightly better than anticipated, sustained humanitarian assistance and support to livelihood recovery are needed in 2018 to prevent further deterioration of the food security and nutrition situation. Investment to protect and restore livelihoods is needed to save lives and reduce humanitarian need and related expenditure.

The objective of this project was to build the resilience of vulnerable communities in five cross border areas in arid and semi arid lands (ASAL) of Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia by working towards the Priority Intervention Areas (PIAs) of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Drought Disaster Resilience Sustainability Initiative (IDDRSI), which are: (1) Natural Resources and Environment Management; (2) Market Access, Trade and Financial Services; (3) Enhanced Production and Livelihood Diversification; (4) Disaster Risk Management; (5) Research, Knowledge Management and Technology Transfer; (6) Peace Building, Conflict Prevention and Resolution; (7) Institutional Strengthening, Coordination and Partnerships; and (8) Human Capital, Gender and Social Development. The interventions targeted pastoralist and agropastoralist communities and focused on strengthening capacities in drought prediction and monitoring, supporting the development of resilience related policies, and boosting investments in local communities.
