According to recent figures, 6 million individuals need food assistance, and 1.4 million children may be severely undernourished. Shocks such as drought, floods, disease, locusts, and forced evictions are exacerbated by climate change, environmental degradation, and the constrained ability of local authorities to respond.

JARDO deals with humanitarian, relief, recovery, resilience, and emergency response through coordinated support with national and international partnerships. The organization provides sustainable, locally driven solutions to help pastoral and Agro-pastoral communities increase their capacity to adapt to the effects of climate change and natural calamities.
