Ending Drought Emergency~Resilience through Synergy between humanitarian Relief and Development~
Humanitarian Relief for the Droughts in HOA UN OCHA Financial Tracking Service • Humanitarian interventions failed to reduce the number of people who suffer from the occurrence of droughts and the costs associated with the attempts.
Nairobi strategy • The Government of Kenya convened “Summit on the Horn of Africa Crisis” in September 2011 and compiled “Nairobi Strategy” which aims at ending drought emergencies through building sustainable livelihood in the Horn of Africa”. • Importance of the coordination among governments in HOA and donor partners, seamless transition from humanitarian relief to development aid,and enhancement of resilience were recognized important.

Operation and Maintenance of Water Pan by Community A community meeting for pasture management and pan use Desilting works Herders Desilt and Collect Dung from the Watering Point Water Management: Use of twigs to form a barrier to control livestock during watering. This traditional Borana method is known as ‘meer’
Advantage of CMDRR approach • Communities understand/assess the disaster risksby themselves. • Indigenous knowledge can be utilized in planning/implementation. • Ownership can be enhanced to realize sustainable operation and maintenance of facilities

Thank you.Arigatogozaimashita. We can not end “the occurrence of drought”. But, we can end “the drought emergencies”.
