1 An over view of the IGAD Regional Disaster Resilience and Sustainability Platform Presenter Solomon Muchina Munyua Coordinator IGAD Centre for Pastoral Areas and Livestock Development (ICPALD)

2 Background Severe drought affecting some 13 million people in GHA - Reinvigorated the push towards a shift from emergency response to more sustained medium to long term investment by both public and private sector actors 2. Sept 2011 IGAD special summit in Nairobi mandated and directed IGAD to spearhead the initiative to create/enhance resilience resilience of vulnerable communities in arid and semi arid areas of IGAD Member states

3 Background The IGAD-AfDB Djibouti meetings - Sept and Nov 2011 proposal for the establishment of a Regional Platform to spearhead the regional initiative aimed at creating / enhancing resilience of vulnerable communities in arid and semi arid areas of IGAD Member states 2. The Proposed Platform was presented to stakeholders in Djibouti in Jan 2012

4 Overall Goal The proposed Platform will bring together the partners and stakeholders including member states, IGAD Secretariat and its satellite units, the AU including AU-IBAR and SAFGRAD, other RECs, Development partners, UN agencies, Civil Society and specialized research and training institutions, to mobilize resources (human, financial and physical) and coordinate the implementation of identified priority regional, and related national, interventions /initiatives that create and/or enhance resilience against drought-related disasters.

And a management and coordinating unit based at the IGAD Secretariat in Djibouti

6 The regional CAADP and Regional CAADP like all regional CAADPs will be based on the five CAADP pillars and all agroecological zones - thus broader than the Platform Investment in Agriculture (crop, livestock, water, fisheries, forestry and research and associated infrastructure) pegged at 10% of national budget 6% growth rate in agriculture Regional Platform Platform focussed on drought disaster resilience in arid and semi-arid areas of the IGAD region - and thus by design has a limited in geographic scope The Somalia and Djibouti CAADPs and the Platform priority areas may be the same as the two are for all pracitical purposed ASALs

7 Convergence of the regional Platform and regional CAADP Both regional Platform and CAADP are drawn from national development programmes and are thus integral parts of MS medium and long term development plans Development partners may differ on how they choose to engage with either or both the regional Platform and CAADP Funding through the regional Platform mainly grants with loans to MS (national platform?). Funding for regional CAADP mainly loans to MS CAADP investment programme areas while at IGAD level? Grants?
