Promoting economic development & resilience among vulnerable groups in the Horn of Africa.
Funded by the European Union Trust Fund for Africa, the Building Opportunities for Resilience in the Horn of Africa (BORESHA) project’s overall objective is to promote economic development and greater resilience, particularly among vulnerable groups in the Cross Border area between Kenya, Somalia and Ethiopia. The project is adopting a community-driven approach to address the shared nature of the risks and opportunities on in this border area.
What is it about?
BORESHA is part of the EU’s programme for Collaboration in the Cross-Border areas of the Horn of Africa investing in preventing and mitigating the impact of local conflict and to promote economic development and greater resilience in four different cross-border regions.
Expected Results
Communities in the Cross-Border Area between Kenya, Somalia, and Ethiopia are more resilient and better prepared for shocks, and a response is more effective.
Individuals and communities are more self-reliant through increased skills and opportunities for cross-border employment, diversified enterprise, and livelihoods.
Cross-border rangeland and other shared natural resources are more equitably and sustainably managed.
