Strengthening the ability of IGAD to promote resilience in the Horn of Africa

The overall objective of the project is to make the IGAD region more resilient, through more effective implementation of IGAD's resilience strategy (IDDRSI).

Main objectives

The specific objectives of the project are: (I) to strengthen IGAD’s capacity for coordinating and facilitating the implementation of IDDRSI to build resilience, as a means of addressing the root causes of vulnerability, forced displacement and irregular migration; and (II) to promote reform in IGAD by upgrading IGAD’s administrative and financial systems in line with international standards, taking into account the conclusions of recent and on-going assessments of IGAD's capacity.
