(USAID East Africa Regional): The purpose of the Cross-Border Community Resilience activity is to improve the resilience of communities that live across the borders of Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, and Somalia in the Karamoja, Mandera, and Moyale clusters and thereby reduce humanitarian needs. This will be achieved through the implementation of co-created, demand-driven interventions at the local level by local institutions. Through this activity, using FY 2022 resources, USAID will support co-created interventions with communities, local development organizations and government agencies in Karamoja, Mandera and Moyale clusters. More specifically, the activity will strengthen the capacity of local organizations to implement cross border resilience programs with an emphasis on building local organizations' capacity for directly implementing USAID funds. The activity will also support drought mitigation interventions to safeguard development gains; grants to promote social cohesion; the expansion of conflict-sensitive and inclusive livelihood and employment opportunities; and finally, the equitable sharing of benefits from natural resources.The activity aligns with
