Enhancing Resilience to Climate Change Impacts through Community-Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CM-DRR).: USAID/Ethiopia would like to make a special call for applicants to submit concept papers related to the Mission's efforts to build community resilience to climate-related shocks and disasters while improving long-term climate change adaptive capacity in drought-prone areas of East Hararghe, West Hararghe, and Bale Zones in Oromia Region. The main goal of these efforts is to support USAID's Development Objective 1: "Increased Economic Growth with Resiliency in Rural Ethiopia", by strengthening community-led strategies for mitigating the harmful effects of climate change on food and water security, nutrition status, and household resilience.
