The Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE) goal is: Communities in drought-prone areas are more resilient to drought and other effects of climate change, and the impacts of drought are contained.
The focus of the Institutional Development and Knowledge Management Pillar, or Pillar 6, is to promote robust ASAL institutions to support EDE investment, policy and programming decisions, based on critical evidence generated by solid knowledge management systems.
The pillar is led by the Ministry of Devolution and Planning through the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) and co-chaired by the Drylands Learning Initiative and Capacity Building Initiative, with membership from state, non-state actors and development partners interested in institutional strengthening and knowledge management for the ASALs.
