What is PREG?

The Partnership for Resilience and Economic Growth in Kenya (PREG) brings together humanitarian and development partners to build resilience among vulnerable pastoralist communities in northern Kenya. USAID PREG works with the Kenya National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) and county governments to coordinate resilience and economic growth activities. PREG targets nine (9) Arid and Semi-arid counties. It builds on community-identified strengths and priorities, tapping into the remarkable survival abilities of local populations. Priorities include increasing adaptability, reducing risk, and improving social and economic conditions to target the causes of vulnerability. USAID is integrating humanitarian and development assistance to improve livelihoods. It strengthens the livestock value chain, enables access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene services, increases conservation, improves governance, promotes conflict mitigation, and promotes inclusiveness and gender responsiveness.

PREG Vision

“A multisectoral partnership that will enhance food and nutrition security, increase agriculture-led economic growth and build resilience among people and systems in Northern Kenya.”

PREG Operational Structure

The PREG operational structure consists of USAID committee members, AORs, CORs, Technical Officers among others, the national level secretariat consists of Chiefs of Party/Country Directors, Deputy Chiefs of Party of Implementing Partners and the National Drought Management Authority. At the county level there is county program activity.

 

Five fundamental principles that guide the PREG collaboration framework.

  1. Common Agenda: both county governments and implementing partners developing joint work plans and coordination structures, signing of MoUs between County governments and the USAID Mission.
  2. Common Progress Measures: Collecting data and measuring results based on agreed indicators at the county level and across all PREG participating organizations.
  3. Mutually Reinforcing Activities: formation of technical working groups (TWGs) and aligning existing work plans and other county government documents with those of development partners to avoid duplication of interventions.
  4. Communication: frequent joint meetings and sharing of reports, ideas, and information among partners.
  5. Backbone Support: sustaining collaboration through ongoing facilitation, knowledge           management and communications support, data collection, analytics, reporting, and learning for adaptive management processes needed for these partnerships to succeed.
