Strengthening Capacity of IGAD to increase drought resilience in the Horn Of Africa (SCIDA III) project.
The project objective is to reduce the impacts of local conflicts in the cross-border areas and enhance resilience in 3 IGAD clusters of the Horn of Africa (HOA).
The project has four priority fields of action:
- Improving the IGAD Secretariat’s regional services for its member states in cross-border disaster risk management caused mainly by climate change.
- Supporting local pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in becoming more resilient to natural disasters.
- Implementing regional, transnational, real-time disease surveillance and monitoring to mitigate pandemics.
- Reducing the impact of local conflicts in cross-border areas and improve resilience through enhanced coordination of cross-border management.
