1. Horn of Africa Joint Planning Cell Annual Meeting 2016
Addis Ababa, June 14-16, 2016

2. Why were we here?
Resilience Framework 2.0
Learning & Collaboration
Strong Regional Network

3. Horn/Sahel Resilience Framework
Use for consistency and as a general guide
Regional Resilience Framework
Revise with workshop output (July) country frames
Context Analysis
Update regional analysis (July) consider country analysis
Theory of Change
Regional narrative (Aug)
Wanted to generate input for the revision of the framework. Not only was this achieved, we gained some very important insights!
FIRST:
Recognized there are a few Resilience Frameworks (I think we are up to version 1.3) in circulation: keep global, revise regional, consider developing national
The framework is not sufficient – cannot explain everything such as the context. A context analysis needs to be placed side by side with the Framework: revise regional and country-specific
That two slides may require a further elaboration so that Missions, implementing partners and other actors appreciate the thinking behind the boxes and can use this to develop future proposals/guide collaboration at the country level and so there is need for a narrative (theory of change).
The M&E framework is something that we require to track our progress. Although not discussed in this workshop, we will develop and propose a framework which tracks our efforts and can tell our story so that we are better able to articulate our progress
Learning Plan for the region – develop a plan and an approach which can harness the learning from country efforts and share regionally. Identify priority areas (layering? Collaboration?) and create consistent learning which we can track as a network
Thank you all for your contributions!
M&E framework
Keep top-line indicators/revise outcome indicators (Oct)
Learning Plan
Develop a regional learning approach and plan (Oct)

herd consolidation
Marginalization & underinvestment
Change
Transitioning out of pastoralism (TOPs)
MOVING UP
STEPPING OUT
MOVING OUT
Outcomes by sub-group (current status of population)
Commercial and thriving
Vulnerable but viable
Vulnerable and exiting
Exited
For reference

Volume and Value of Livestock Sales
Livelihood
Independence
Dietary
Diversity
Improved drinking water source
Exclusive Breast-feeding
Outputs
Vulnerable households benefitting directly from USG interventions
Increased Economic Opportunities Strengthened Institutions, Governance
Improved Health and Nutrition
Intervention Areas
Toplines will not change
Outcome/Output Indicators to be discussed and consider shock-proof indicators
Intermediate Outcome Indicators: Description and Data Sources
Volume and value of livestock sales (annual) based on sentinel markets. Data Source: Kenya – REGAL-AG reporting, Ethiopia – PRIME reporting and secondary data.
Livelihood independence (B/MT/F) % of households whose livelihood sources include at least one rainfall-independent source. Data Source: resilience module in FTF baseline, mid-term and final evaluations
Dietary Diversity (B/MT/F) % of children 6-23 months meeting minimum dietary diversity threshold (4 of 7 food groups). HH and women’s dietary diversity used for Ethiopia. Data Source: FTF baseline, mid-term and final evaluations
Exclusive Breastfeeding (B/MT/F) % of children under 6 months who are exclusively breastfed. Data Source: Child-level module in FTF baseline, mid-term and final evaluations
Improved Drinking Water Source (B/MT/F) % of HH using and improved drinking water source. Data Sources: FTF baseline, mid-term and final evaluations (both countries) + Kenya - Kenya Arid Lands DRR + Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Program, Ethiopia – RAIN program

6. Learning & Collaboration
Planning for shocks and shock responses during the life of the projects
Appreciating strategic collaboration has enormous opportunity costs and great benefits but we need more learning on efficiency and effectiveness
Making tough choices - resilience for whom?
USAID internal understanding of resilience and collaboration important so that interactions with partners is consistent
Appropriate role of government and regional institutions
We set out to promote learning and collaboration and achieved this! Here are some of the important lessons gleaned from the past two days.

7. Horn of Africa Resilience Network (HoRN)
Gathered representatives from across this region. Have developed a network for the past 4 years.
Network: a group or system of interconnected people or things
Propose that we build on these meetings and the work we are doing by:
Giving ourselves a name – I recommend HoRN
A core membership of USAID Missions and its implementing partners working in the zones of influence. By extension this group will expand to include key government and donor working groups
Kenya

8. HoRN
Promotes a common agenda around resilience in the drylands of the Horn of Africa
Tracks progress through the Regional Resilience Framework Monitoring Protocol
Supports the use of mutually enforcing activities to build resilience capacities to shocks
Supports learning and collaboration across the network
Common agenda: to clarify in subsequent meetings/use revised framework to refine
John Kania and Mark Kramer Stanford Social Innovation Review in Winter 2011 entitled “Collective Impact.”

9. Conclusion
