Knowledge for peaceful and resilient borderlands
One shared home for the lessons, evidence and practices emerging from PRBC's three IGAD cross-border clusters, so that what works in one borderland informs action in the next.
A flagship action of SCIDA III (2022–2027), jointly funded by the EU and BMZ and implemented by GIZ with IGAD.
Turning borderland experience into shared, usable knowledge
The borderlands of the Horn of Africa face recurrent droughts and floods, competition over land, water and pasture, and weak access to basic services. Communities have deep resilience practices, but these are rarely documented, and coordination across actors is often disconnected.
The Peaceful and Resilient Borderlands Coordination (PRBC) Action strengthens resilience and reduces the impact of conflict and climate shocks. Under IGAD's IDDRSI cluster approach, it treats borderlands as integrated development zones. This hub is where PRBC partners capture, organise and share what they learn.
Four interconnected outputs
Cross-border coordination through strengthened IGAD structures, early warning systems and an effective coordination architecture.
Policy awareness on cross-border policies among governments, local authorities, private sector and civil society.
Transboundary resources: stronger shared management of water, pasture and land.
Programme coordination through steering committees, joint M&E, a common KM framework and shared communications.
Three IGAD cross-border clusters
Browse knowledge by the cluster it comes from, or view products that span all three.
From field experience to evidence-informed action
Every product follows the PRBC Knowledge Management cycle and carries common metadata, so partners can find, trust and reuse it.
Have a lesson, practice or story from the field?
PRBC partners, NGO consortia and cluster focal points can submit knowledge products for validation and publication on the hub.
