A review of approaches to the integration of humanitarian and development aid: the case of drought management in the Horn of Africa by Tahira Shariff Mohamed, Todd Andrew Crane, Samuel Derbyshire, Guyo Roba

“…In pastoral areas of the Horn of Africa, which experience recurrent drought emergencies, integrating the two forms of assistance has been attempted in several instances, which have often been disjointed and have sought to grapple with an unpredictable terrain of shifting policies and program designs. Such challenges have been further compounded by a substantial disconnect between programming (across humanitarian aid and resilience building) and existing pastoralist practices and strategies comprising local social safety nets. …”
