Abstract: This policy brief provides a strategic overview of resilience financing in the IGAD region, highlighting systemic gaps and proposing an integrated financing agenda to address recurring climate-related crises. Drawing on evidence from Kenya, Ethiopia, and Somalia, the document critiques fragmented funding patterns, underinvestment in adaptation, and donor fatigue. It champions country-led frameworks like Kenya?s FLLoCA, pooled financing, and private sector engagement. The brief underscores vulnerability despite minimal emissions and advocates reforms for improved climate finance access for fragile states and stronger regional learning platforms.
