🌍 Building Resilient Market Systems in the Cross-border Drylands of the IGAD Region
The IGAD Drought Disaster Resilience and Sustainability Initiative (IDDRSI), supported by USAID, was born from the 2011 Nairobi Summit’s bold declaration: to end drought emergencies once and for all. Its purpose — to transform the region’s response from crisis-driven relief to proactive, market-based resilience that strengthens both communities and systems.
