Spatial analysis for investment targeting: pilot tool
In order to better measure resilience, and to better understand and target investment that will enhance resilience, the Technical Consortium is developing a pilot spatial tool. The purpose of this resilience modeling tool ...
Ending Drought Emergencies Policy Review
The purpose of this review is to highlight some of the political economy factors
that affect the implementation of Kenya’s Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE)
Common Programme Framework (CPF). First, the six pillars of the ...
The creation of a household resilience index using limited data from the IGAD region
Given that data in the Horn of Africa is limited, one is more likely to obtain relatively complete data when using a model comprised of a more limited set of targeted indicators. In this way, a model of resilience should ...
The development of baseline datasets, indicator selection and analytics to assess the impact of investment for IGAD member states
The activities detailed in this report form part of the work necessary to provide
a foundation upon which to develop these tools. In addition to providing the
IGAD member states with baseline datasets and appropriate ...

Assessing resilience to drought: defi ning drought and reviewing trends in the Horn of Africa
As a focus area of the Technical Consortium is to assess the resilience of populations to drought, one has to have a clear definition of “drought.” Climatologists identify three different types of drought: (1) meteorological ...
Preliminary review of datasets to inform the development of IGAD member state baselines
The activities detailed in this report form part of the work necessary to provide a foundation upon which to develop these tools. The TC aims to provide the IGAD member states with baseline datasets and appropriate ...
Modeling resilience with applied information economics (AIE)
We created a probabilistic decision analysis tool to model the issue of resilience in the Horn of Africa through a cooperative effort between the Technical Consortium for Building Resilience in the Horn of Africa (TC) and ...
Modeling livestock feed and fodder availablity in the ASALs of the IGAD region
In the arid parts of Africa there is a strong relationship between rainfall and plant production. This is especially prevalent in areas that receive less than 300mm rain per annum, where water is the principal limiting ...
