5. The Right Programming
• Pro-active partnerships, coordination, and planning between
NGOs, with government (local, regional, national) and private
sector market players
• Landscape/surface water/watershed restoration and
management
• Drought-resistant agricultural practice
• Improved land access, land rights, and security of tenure
• Access to financial services (credit, savings, insurance,
weather-index insurance)
• Education and access to information – markets, early warning
• Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) issues

6. The Right Programming, continued
• Producer groups and associations – power leveling market-led
agriculture
• Government supportive enabling conditions for markets and
investments
• Environmental governance and enabling environment
• Proactive inter-ethnic, inter-community, inter-religious
engagement
• Proactive food security and social safety nets
• Disaster risk reduction basics - early warning and emergency
preparedness
• A consortium approach tailored to each context
• Resilience framework fully supported by multilaterals/
bilaterals/governments, iNGOs, CBOs and private participants
