Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction (Eco-DRR)
Our Eco-DRR project is implemented in Otuke, Alebtong, Abim, Agogo, and Kotido Districts in Northern Uganda. The key risk being addressed within this context is frequent and prolonged droughts in upstream areas and flooding in midstream areas. To address this, the project aims to strengthen the resilience to drought and flooding of 160,000 vulnerable women and men in 5 districts of Eastern Aswa Catchment in northern Uganda. Specifically, the project seeks to scale up Integrated Risk Management (IRM) and inclusive risk governance through improved catchment-based water resources management that is risk-informed, gender- and ecosystem-sensitive.
