Authors: IGAD

Date: 2019

The Regional Programming Paper (RPP) for the drought resilience and sustainability initiative in the IGAD Region was developed by the IGAD Secretariat in consultation with member states, development partners and other stakeholders, including non-state actors. The RPP is part of the IDDRSI Strategy. It is the programmatic and implementation arm of IDDRSI to be operationalized at both country and regional levels. The purpose of the RPP is (i) to develop a common understanding of the aspects that define the regional character of the drought resilience and sustainability initiative and uphold the logic of a regional approach in implementing the initiative; (ii) to define the modalities of cooperation and the policies, arrangements, methods of work and institutional set up needed to enhance and facilitate effective cooperation in the development and implementation of programmes and projects aimed at ending drought emergencies in the IGAD region; (iii) to propose regional actions and mechanisms through which the implementation of the drought resilience and sustainability initiative in the IGAD region can be promoted, planned, supported and executed.
