Shaqodoon International - Kenya

USAID’s Cross-Border Community Resilience (CBCR) activity is a regional project designed to enhance resilience and reduce the need for humanitarian assistance among communities in the cross-border clusters of Karamoja, Moyale and Mandera (Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan and Somalia). These regions have historically suffered from under investment and their challenges and vulnerabilities cannot be tackled by national governments alone. CBCR empowers local entities, including communities, civil society, private sector, and governments, to implement locally appropriate interventions to address conflict, improve livelihoods and/or reduce the risks of shocks and stresses. The project supports local leadership in work planning, implementation, monitoring, and learning, to foster local ownership of development investments. The project is implemented by Chemonics International and sub-contractor ACDI/VOCA
