Climate-smart Disaster Risk Management Isiolo County Over the years MID-P has been using participatory approach which integrates Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) and Ecosystem Management and Restoration (EMR) in addressing the salient disaster risk issues that affect the lives and livelihood of communities living along the Ewaso Nyiro North River Basin. The Climate Smart Project (CSP) was born out of a Participatory Disaster Risk Assessment (PDRA) process which was undertaken by National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) and Lay Volunteers International Association (LVIA) in 2016.
