ALRMP II supports three complementary channels of intervention, which together address the complex problem of vulnerability, and enable communities in the project area to move beyond survival and subsistence to sustainable development.

These are:

(a) Strengthening and Institutionalizing Natural Resources and Drought Management, which will improve the management of natural capital, reduce the impact of natural shocks and diminish acute vulnerability by reinforcing preparedness and mitigation activities, and by improving the effectiveness of response interventions.

(b) Empowering communities so that they can successfully identify, implement and sustain their development priorities through Community-Driven Development.

(c) Fostering a conducive enabling environment for development in the arid lands through policy support, advocacy and improvement in the delivery of essential services, complementing existing sector.
