Together We Rise, Together We Thrive.

Climate Change, Disaster Risk Reduction, and Humanitarian Intervention

UNKO is committed to addressing climate change and its impacts. Our programs focus on sustainable environmental practices, such as eco-friendly agriculture and water conservation. We prepare communities for future crises through disaster risk reduction strategies, early warning systems, and proactive humanitarian assistance during emergencies, ensuring that communities are resilient and equipped to handle challenges.

What We Do

Capacity Building

We engage in Training local authorities, organizations, and communities in disaster management practices, including response and recovery. Developing and implement national and local DRR policies that integrate risk reduction into development planning.

Climate Adaptation Projects

We implement projects that help communities adapt to changing climatic conditions. This includes introducing drought-resistant crops, water conservation techniques, and climate-smart agricultural practices.

Environmental Conservation

We engage in activities that protect and restore natural ecosystems. This involves tree planting, soil conservation, and the sustainable management of water resources to combat desertification and land degradation.

Our Approach

Community Engagement

We actively involve local communities in the planning and implementation of climate-related projects. This participatory approach ensures that interventions are relevant and effective.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Alignment

We Align DRR strategies with the SDGs to address the root causes of vulnerability. Promote sustainable practices that reduce environmental degradation.

Community-Based Disaster Risk Management

We Empower local communities to assess their risks and implement their own solutions. Facilitate local ownership of DRR initiatives.

Our Future Goals

We are committed to ensuring food security and enhancing livelihoods for vulnerable communities in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) regions.
