Ethiopia - Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Programme in the Horn of Africa - Phase I

The present project is the Ethiopia Component of the first regional Drought Resilience and Sustainable Livelihoods Program (DRSLP) in the Horn of Africa (HoA). This operation seeks to improve livelihoods and resilience of the pastoral production system in 15 Woreda (districts) in the Afar and Somali Regional States of Ethiopia. The interventions will support activities to rebuild existing livelihoods through investment in natural resources (water, pasture) management, integrated land management and ecosystem restoration and protection and also investment in agricultural and livestock infrastructure, while improving storage, market and transport infrastructure, such as rural roads.
