A Simplified Brief of Ending Drought Emergencies August 2016. The Ending Drought Emergencies Initiative (EDE) recognises that droughts cause emergencies because the foundations needed to support sustainable livelihoods in drought-prone areas - principally security, infrastructure and human capital (education, health and nutrition) - are often weak. This weakness is due to historical imbalances in investment, which are recognised by the Constitution and one of the drivers of devolution. The EDE Initiative will accelerate investment in these development foundations as well as strengthen the institutions responsible for managing drought risks. The EDE is part of the second Kenya Vision 2030 Medium TermPlan, 2013-17 (chapter 3.8). It is being implemented through a Common Programme Framework that will encourage county and national government and development partners to co-ordinate their programs and improve the resilience impact of their funds.
