Abstract

The purpose of the EDE Common Programme Framework is to facilitate cooperation and synergy across sectors, actors, geographical areas and levels of operation, so that programming is more coherent, coordinated and efficient. One of the Overall Pillar Outcome is the enhanced resilience of Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) livelihoods to the effects of drought and climate change through improvement in resilience and in long-term household food security (14.8). A common programming approach plays to the strengths of different agencies and instruments and the Government and its development partners will contribute to the following policies: National Climate Change Response Strategy, 2010, and National Climate Change Action Plan, 2013; National Social Protection Policy, 2012; National Food and Nutrition Security Policy, 2011; and the National Nutrition Action Plan, 2012-17 (15.2.4). A multi-sectoral approach to the situational analysis addressing agro-environmental concerns and agro-environmental sustainable measures are included in the objectives, particularly in the ASALs, owing to a number of distinctive features including remoteness, lack of infrastructure, and perennial drought (Table 1). Strong multi-agency collaboration is important for: the depth of inequality between many ASAL counties, particularly in access to basic infrastructure and services, is such that only a concerted and sustained effort over a long period of time by a critical mass of partners can reduce it (section 3).
