The Common Programme Framework to End Drought Emergencies is the product of a series of discussions between the Government of Kenya and its development partners which took place between October 2013 and August 2014.3 (Annex 3 contains a summary of the process.) It represents the first phase of a ten-year programme to end drought emergencies by 2022. The Framework has three areas of emphasis: eliminating the conditions that perpetuate vulnerability, enhancing the productive potential of the region, and strengthening institutional capacity for effective risk management.
