National Drought Management Authority Strategic Plan (2018-2022).

This Strategic Plan reflects the National Drought Management Authority’s (NDMA) vision, mission, values, objectives for coordination of drought risk management and the significant contribution to both the coordination and implementation of adaptation measures in Kenya. The Strategic Plan is based on a comprehensive analysis of the policy, legal and institutional framework at the national, regional and global levels, in order to mainstream drought risk management and climate change adaptation in county development plans and strategies. The Strategic Plan is divided into five chapters. The first chapter introduces the NDMA and provides an analysis of Kenya’s development challenges and how they impact on drought risk management and climate change adaptation. Chapter 2 presents the situational analysis of the NDMA, a review of its first Strategic Plan, emerging priorities, strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Chapter 3 provides for the strategic model, its vision, mission and core values and its goals, strategic objectives, strategies and planned outcomes. Chapter 4 concerns the implementation and coordination framework. Chapter 5 presents the framework and plan for monitoring, evaluation, and reporting. There are four annexes, concerning respectively the Ending Drought Emergency Framework, the results matrix, the implementation matrix and the organisational structure of the NDMA.
The goal of this Strategic Plan is enhanced drought resilience and climate change adaptation. To achieve this goal, the Strategic Plan shall pursue the following strategic objectives: 1) strengthening institutional and community resilience to drought risk and climate change; 2) providing drought and climate information to facilitate concerted actions by relevant stakeholders; 3) protecting livelihoods of vulnerable households and community systems to cope and recover from drought shocks; 4) ensuring coordinated action on drought risk management; 5) enhancing resource mobilisation and partnerships for drought risk management and climate change adaptation at county, national, regional and global levels.
