About UNV
 
The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is the UN organization that promotes volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide. 

Volunteerism can transform the pace and nature of development and it benefits both society at large and the individual volunteer. 

UNV contributes to peace and development by advocating for volunteerism globally, encouraging partners to integrate volunteerism into development programming, and mobilizing volunteers.
 
Brief Project Description
 
Communities Hosting Refugees in Northern and North-Eastern Kenya are faced with a complex humanitarian emergency (CHE) due to several years of under development, frequent exposure to natural and man made disasters, influx of refugees and proliferation of small arms. 

Current interventions, similar to previous interventions have taken a reactive and short term approach that is likely to save lives, but leave communities vulnerable to subsequent disasters.

The Kenya Drought Recovery Project will involve the scaling up of a Host Community project in Turkana and Garissa districts, which are some of the worst hit areas in the recent drought and also some of the most under developed. 

So far in the response, there is limited focus on programmes targeting protection of the remaining livelihoods and assets and mitigation of the impact of continued dry conditions. 

The Project is a two year intervention as a medium term measure to support urgent recovery of communities affected by the drought and to strengthen institutions responsible for recovery and disaster risk reduction work.

The Project will contribute to the achievement of a specific outcome in the UNDAF on disaster prevention and recovery. It will also contribute to achieving UNDPs CPAP outcome: effectiveness of emergency preparedness, response and early recovery for affected communities and displaced populations enhanced. 

The overall project purpose is Recovery from drought impact and resilience capacities enhanced at national, county and community levels especially targeting women and youth groups.
