The document summarizes a community managed disaster risk reduction project implemented in Dire District, Ethiopia. The project used a community managed approach to build resilience among pastoralist communities vulnerable to drought and conflict hazards. Key aspects included conducting participatory risk assessments, establishing community disaster risk reduction committees, implementing risk reduction measures such as rangeland reclamation, and facilitating cross-border dialogues to reduce conflicts over natural resources. As a result of these efforts, communities demonstrated increased resilience and adaptive capacity to hazards, including establishing reserves of pasture and hay.
