Mandera/Somali Triangle Cluster
Creating resilient and self-reliant communities in the Horn of Africa
Our Target Stakeholders
The BORESHA NABAD programme collaborates with various stakeholders in the borderlands of the Mandera, Gedo, and Liben Regions. Our partners include local and national government authorities, community leaders, young people, women, youth groups, women’s associations, and local communities. We also engage with the private sector, local business leaders, and educational institutions to ensure a comprehensive and inclusive approach to regional stability and resilience.
The Main Project Aims Are:
Disaster Risk Reduction & Conflict Prevention
The programme strives to enhance the resilience of cross-border communities and stakeholders in the borderlands of Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia to adapt to crises, respond to them, and fortify their disaster risk reduction and stabilisation mechanisms.
Facilitate the creation of cross-border disaster contingency plans, including conflict management and peacebuilding strategies, and establish cross-border linkages to tackle disasters and conflict effectively.
Support peace dividends through shared infrastructure essential for upholding local peace agreements and fostering lasting peace.
Engage local cross-border leaders, including women leaders and traders, to enhance their skills in lobbying, advocacy, and conflict sensitivity and to strengthen their role in peace, security, and trade decision-making processes.
Enhance Peacebuilding Linkages Between Cross-Border Stakeholders
We strive to build sustainable peace by bridging gaps between various stakeholders, including the communities and authorities at local, national, and regional levels. Our initiatives focus on strengthening and building effective linkages between these critical actors to ensure that peacebuilding efforts are cohesive, inclusive, and effective. BORESHA-NABAD’s initiatives empower communities and local leaders to create sustainable solutions for lasting peace and security through an all-inclusive space that facilitates dialogue and collaboration.
We aim to
- Facilitate cross-border DRR, EWS and conflict response coordination and communication between the different stakeholders to build long-term conflict mitigation and resilience.
- Increase women and youth involvement in peacebuilding efforts.
- Support effective advocacy towards national and regional level institutions by borderland community representatives.
Improve Access to Income-Generation Opportunities for Women and Youth
We employ a market systems approach to create sustainable economic pathways to expand access to income- generating opportunities for women and youth in marginalised borderland communities, empower them and strengthen their financial resilience.
Specifically We Aim To:
Conflict Prevention
SPREAD aims to bolster conflict prevention in the pastoralist communities – to ensure that conflicts are effectively dealt with and ultimately that the root causes of conflict are addressed so that conflict does not happen.
Conflict Prevention
SPREAD assists local communities – including local leaders and government structures – to prepare for and manage natural disasters to minimise the impact of them on the lives and livelihoods of people in the region.
Conflict Prevention
SPREAD creates resilient communities that are more financially robust, who have several sources of income, and who employ sustainable farming practices.
Conflict Prevention
Support the planning processes of DRR and peacebuilding committees through tailored training and the development of gender-responsive, community-based DRR plans that address conflict,drought, and flooding.
