ABOUT CORDAID
Catholic Organization for Relief and Development Aid
[Cordaid]
Formed in 1999- merger of 3 organization- Caritas
Netherlands, Memisa, and Dutch Bishop Lenten
Campaign
International relief and development NGO
Hq- The Hague- Netherlands
Works in 36 countries with over 1000 partners- in

Cooperation, EU, Dutch public…
PROGRAMME AREAS
Four sectors and 10 programmes
Participation- identity and diversity, slum
dwellers and women and violence (Kenya)
Emergency aid and reconstruction (Kenya)
Health and well-being
entrepreneurship
Emergency aid and reconstruction
sector- in Kenya
Implemented in the pastoralist areas- active in Moyale, Mandera, Isiolo, Samburu, Isiolo and Marsabit
DRR/CCA and emergency activities supported
Focus on drought as a hazard but others-conflict management, floods, livestock disease...shaped by PDRA and analysis
Combine drought cycle management and DRR/CCA approaches and strategies
Definition of key terms
Disaster Risk reduction: The concept and practice of reducing disaster risks through systematic efforts to analyze and manage the causal factors of disasters, including through reduced exposure to hazards, lessened vulnerability of people and property, wise management of land and the environment, and improved preparedness for adverse events.
Adaptation: Adjustment in natural and human systems in response to actual or expected climatic stimuli or their effects, which moderates harm or exploits beneficial opportunities –various types –anticipatory, autonomous and planned
CCA and DRR
With climate change- frequency and intensity of Hazard increases
Record shows increase in disaster events- affect sustainable development and growth of nations and communities.
With CC there are opportunities and risks- Adaptation-addressing risk, turn opportunities into assets
Adaptation and DRR both aim at reducing impacts of hazards-anticipating risks, reducing vulnerabilities and increasing capacities.
CC is science based while DRR is based on past experiences. CCA intervention planning need to take into consideration the various future scenarios based on the science
CMDRR Approach
Hazard ≠ Disaster
Hazard can be natural and man made but
disasters are caused by hazard when it
interact with human condition ( exposure and
lack of capacity to cope).
Disaster Risk = Hazard x Vulnerability
Capacity
CMDRR continued
Core Principles of CMDRR
Communities manage DRR process
Development organizations’ role is facilitation ( not solution providers) and employees are learning agents and not change agents
DRR is multi-stakeholder process and facilitation done through multi-agency approach ( broad based partnership )
DRR best done through multi-hazard approach
Effective community organization is the foundation of CMDRR
MEL & ADVOCACY an integral part of CMDRR.
Tools, facilitators, community members
knowledge & skills, time
Conclusion on risk levelsAccept risk level or relocate elements
At risk if risk level is not acceptableIdentify and prioritize what Needs to
be done
Set DRR goals and objectives

Examples of DRR/CCA projects
Rain water harvesting- underground tanks, pans roof catchments – to reduce evaporation due increased temperature pans lined, tanks are masonry. Some communities in Marsabit (e.g Forolle and Balesa now have water throughout the year).
Herd diversification- introduction of camels- more resilient.
Livelihood diversification- fish farming, commercial insect-partnership with ICIPE.
Peace-building efforts to counter resource based conflict.
Rangeland rehabilitation- revival of good indigenous practices of rangeland mgt eg kalo system, rid off invasive species
Communities have autonomously adapted to some extent
Capacity building of communities, local level stakeholders eg government, CBOs, NGOs, various committees
Pictures-Lined pan
Hand-pump on a shallow well
Ahsanteni
Underground tank
Animal health
Bee-keeping
Camel- resilient asset
Rehabilitated rangeland
Others activities
Policy influencing/Lobby and advocacy –
local, national and International level.
International level advocacy through CIDSE
Linking and learning- through workshops,
publications, working with coalitions,
universities
Capacity building of partner organizations,
government departments and communities
on CMDRR and climate change.
Future plans- (2010 onwards.
Using scientific information, develop climate
scenarios and plan intervention based on
that.
Of course continue to develop interventions
using experiences.
Use traditional knowledge.
Mainstream CC in all our programme-
Thank you.
