CEWARN

The Steering Committee of the CEWARN Rapid Response Fund (RRF) held its fifth regular meeting on 20 February in Addis Ababa to review the progress of ongoing peace building projects in the predominantly pastoral cross-border areas of the IGAD region.

The RRF was set up as a multi-donor basket fund in 2009 to enable CEWARN to support locally-driven and timely response projects to contain the spread and escalation of violent conflicts along the borders of Ethiopia-Djibouti; Ethiopia-Kenya- South Sudan- Uganda as well as Ethiopia- Kenya –Somalia.

CEWARN through the Rapid Response Fund (RRF) provided laptops and motor bicycles to local peace committees in its areas of reporting in both the Karamoja and Somali Cluster sides of Ethiopia.

The materials were provided to local peace committees in Nyangatom and Dassenech Woredas in the Karamoja Cluster as well as Dire, Miyo, Dire, Regions four and five as well as Yabello woredas in the Somali Cluster.
