Managing natural resources comprehensively and sustainably to combat poverty in pastoral communities

Djibouti suffers from food insecurity aggravated by persistent drought and elevated food prices. The situation is particularly critical in the pastoral areas where most people live.

To address this situation, IFAD, in collaboration with partners, launched the Programme for Mobilization of Surface Water and Sustainaible Land Management (PROMES-GDT) in December 2008.
