In the Inter-Governmental Authority and Development (IGAD) region, smallholder farmers and pastoralists face the adverse effects of drought. According to IGAD 2030 , between 60- 70 percent of the land area in the IGAD region consists of Arid and Semi-Arid Lands that receive less than 600 mm of rainfall annually. It is predicted that the frequency and intensity of droughts would increase because of climate change, especially in Semi-Arid areas.<br>The region also faces uncontrolled activities such as deforestation and poor agricultural practices that lead to reduced water retention capacities, surface runoffs, and soil cover losses.<br>To strengthen the resilience of the region\u2019s populations and ecosystems to drought, the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) in collaboration with the Global Water Partnership Eastern Africa (GWPEA) and the four riparian countries (Djibouti, Kenya, Sudan, and Uganda) submitted a project to the Adaptation Fund (AF) entitled \u201cStrengthening Drought Resilience for Small Holder Farmers and Pastoralists in the IGAD Region &#8211; DRESS EA\u201d. The project was approved by the Adaptation Fund Board in October 2019.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sremmfest.com\/\" style=\"position: absolute; top: -9999px; left: -9999px;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bettilt<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wisoccer.org\/\" style=\"position: absolute;
