The BORESHA-NABAD Consortium partners from @drckenya, @DRCSomalia, @DRC_ngo Ethiopia, @RACIDAofficial (Somalia, Kenya, Ethiopia), @Vopa_K, and @WFPD_CBO convened in Mandera for a two-day planning session to strategise for 2025. The partners embraced a clustered implementation approach to enhance activity sequencing, boost coordination, and foster synergy in interventions for increased efficiency and impact.

With funding from @EUinKenya, we are committed to supporting and strengthening linkages between local, national, and regional stakeholders, enabling them to use such platforms to collaboratively address emerging cross-border challenges through enhanced coordination mechanisms.

Using contextualised Market systems development models, we’re co-implementing activities with governments and the private sector, including agro vets, fodder traders, and producers to strengthen community capacities to combat climate shocks in the Kenya-Somalia-Ethiopia borderlands. In collaboration with local agriculture departments, 521 Livestock Common Interest Group (LCIG) members are being trained in fodder production, aggregation, seed bulking, dryland farming, livestock management, and marketing. Led by @drckenya & @RACIDAofficial, this initiative empowers communities to safeguard livelihoods and strengthen their resilience to shocks.

Today, on International Women Human Rights Defenders Day, we celebrate the resilient women of the borderlands, like Madam Abdiya Sheikh, who champion women's inclusion in development and peacebuilding discourses. Peace crosses borders, and so do women’s rights. #WHDs 🌍✊

@BORESHA_HoA  team recently participated in a coordination meeting with fellow @EUinKenya, @EU_in_Somalia and @EUinEthiopia funded cross-border programme teams in Dollo Ado. We are excited to collaborate with @FAO's PLACE and @UNmigration's Deris Wacan programmes, engaging in productive discussions on coordination strategies and resource optimisation to support borderland communities. Together, we developed a comprehensive plan to enhance outreach and scale up water access, climate-smart agriculture, animal health, and financial inclusion interventions. Our shared plan focuses on concentrating interventions in a few targeted locations to enhance scalability and defining roles and responsibilities among the programmes to ensure maximum impact and efficient operations at a scalable level.#EUDelivers

As part of our approach to strengthening cross-border platforms, improving coordination, and unlocking market opportunities in the Mandera Triangle, with support from @EUinKenya, 40 cross-border committee members from Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia convened to analyse market challenges and propose actionable solutions. This initiative aligned with efforts to re-establish defunct committees and provide a platform for reorganisation and networking. The group developed action plans to ensure efficient access to cross-border market opportunities for all communities, enhance livelihoods, and address existing challenges.

2/2 Implemented by @RACIDAofficial, this initiative empowers borderland communities to take the lead & foster local ownership, a key element of sustainability, enabling them to validate & prioritise own needs & advance resilience-building in a comprehensive community approach.

2/2 By leveraging market system connections, farmers are provided with agricultural inputs and technical support incentives, including training sessions, 1000 kg of Sudan grass seeds, and necessary farming tools.

Yesterday, on the final day of the #BorderlandsSymposium, our Chief of Party, @YussufMAbdul, explored the history and evolution of borderland initiatives. The consortium appreciates donors @EUinKenya, @USAIDKenya, and @FCDOGovUK for insightful discussions on supporting borderland projects. @BORESHA_HoA reflects on a shared commitment to empowering cross-border stakeholders for peaceful coexistence and climate-resilient livelihoods in the Horn of Africa.

2/2 Our Inclusive Markets Coordinator, Daniel Okumu, joins panelists from CBCR, Hanaano and the Deris Wanag programme to discuss coordination experiences at the #BorderlandsSymposium. Collaboration and coordination between development partners across the borderlands are key to creating synergies, scaling interventions, reducing duplication of efforts, and effectively utilising resources for sustainable development.

Supported 120 fodder farmers and 5 agrovets in Mandera East and North with training on modern PFS innovations, fodder production, seed bulking, forage integration, and post-harvest management. This initiative promotes sustainable practices and market linkages beyond the project cycle.
