Resilience enhancement against drought (READ) in three districts of Borena Zone, Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia This project proposes to support the resilience of vulnerable older women and men, and their households in Borena, Ethiopia.  The population in Borena are mainly pastoralists who depend on livestock for survival. Increasing frequency of droughts is resulting in loss of livestock, failing crops and disrupted livelihoods.  Climate change is making rains increasingly unpredictable resulting in droughts and disrupting many older people's livelihoods and crops risk failing, leaving older people hungry and without a reliable income. With Save the Children, we are supporting communities to prepare and mitigate for this and reach the most vulnerable with the support of intergenerational DRR committees.

HelpAge seeks to address this issue through a two-step approach linking customary early warning practices with technology-based information tracking and reporting. By combining these two techniques, we can increase resiliency in drought-affected areas, while limiting the impact of droughts on affected communities when they occur. This will not only lower the vulnerability of these communities in the six targeted Kebeles, but also it will stabilize their livelihoods and limit displacement. Depending on the vulnerability and capacity of the communities, the proposed actions will contribute to improve the strategies for survival of pastoralists community, including modifying livestock diversity - composition and numbers; diversifying livelihoods activities - producing, collecting and preserving hay; modifying rangeland management practices - bush clearing activities; maintaining, rehabilitating and constructing water infrastructure; education and training; savings and credit. To improve the Early Warning System and Preparedness of Borena community using an integrated model. An integrated model of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Indigenous resilience tracking early warning system piloted
