The Peaceful and Resilient Borderlands Program (PRBP) is jointly co-financed by the European Union (EU) and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH as part of the Strengthening the Capacities of IGAD to Increase Resilience in the Horn of Africa Project (GIZ SCIDA III) in close collaboration with The Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD).

The Peaceful and Resilient Borderlands Programme (PRBP) has successfully conducted the first cross-border coordination forums in Moyale and Mandera clusters, which targeted the establishment and hosting of cross border steering committees.

The Peaceful and Resilient Borderlands Programme (PRBP) is a Multi-Donor Action: Support for Enhanced Effective Coordination of Peaceful and Resilient Borderlands for below IGAD border clusters.
♻️ Karamoja Cluster
♻️ Mandera/Somali Triangle Cluster and
♻️ Moyale/Moyale Cluster

The program focuses on the Horn of Africa region, particularly within the IGAD clusters covering Ethiopia, South Sudan, Somalia, and Kenya. Notably, these countries share common socio-economic and cultural ties but also face challenges such as conflict, migration, climate change, and underdevelopment.

The overarching program’s objective is to reduce the impact of local conflicts in the borderlands and enhance resilience in three IGAD clusters of the Horn of Africa.
The program will specifically reinforce coordination on cross-border management, including local authorities and IGAD as well as intensify sharing of information to mitigate conflict and promote socio-economic development.
The Peaceful and Resilient Borderlands program will answer to below thematic outputs:

✅ Cross-border coordination by identifying and supporting IGAD structures.

✅ Raising awareness on cross-border policies with national governments, local authorities, private sector and civil society in the 3 IGAD Clusters.

✅ Strengthening the management of transboundary resources.

✅ Coordination of components and clusters by establishing and hosting steering committees and other coordination mechanisms such as developing and conducting monitoring and evaluation.
