IGAD Drought Disaster Resilience Initiative

@igadsecretariat Kudos to IGAD and the IDDRSI team! The story of IDDRSI is indeed a tale of hope. Acting nationally, guided by regional thinking is a refreshingly new way of doing things - probably the best development paradigm that has ever been designed. The world has a lot to learn from IGAD.
