Mandera, Kenya – RACIDA has been recognised for its outstanding contribution to the implementation of the BORESHA-NABAD Programme, receiving two awards during the BORESHA-NABAD Strategic Review Meeting held in Mandera County.
The organisation was honoured with the following awards:
- Best in Finance Management and Compliance
- Best in Coordination – Kenya Cluster
The awards acknowledge RACIDA’s commitment to strong financial stewardship, effective programme compliance, and exceptional coordination in delivering cross-border resilience interventions across the Mandera Triangle.
The awards were presented during the closing ceremony, presided over by Mandera County Deputy Governor Dr. Ali Maalim, alongside BORESHA-NABAD Chief of Party Mr. Yussuf Mohamed Abdullahi. The recognition reflects the collective efforts of RACIDA staff, partners, local communities, and government institutions in advancing sustainable resilience across the Kenya-Somalia-Ethiopia borderlands.
Other consortium partners recognised during the ceremony included DRC Kenya, DRC Ethiopia, DRC Somalia, VOPA, and Mandera Women for Peace and Development, highlighting the collaborative spirit that underpins the programme.
The three-day Strategic Review Meeting brought together consortium partners to reflect on programme achievements, assess the evolving context across the Mandera Triangle, and align priorities for the programme’s final year of implementation. Discussions focused on reviewing progress across the programme’s outcome areas, strengthening cross-border coordination, assessing the evolution of inclusive market systems, peacebuilding structures, and climate adaptation interventions, and identifying opportunities to scale impact and sustain long-term change.
Implemented through a consortium comprising RACIDA, DRC Kenya, DRC Somalia, DRC Ethiopia, VOPA, and Mandera Women for Peace and Development, BORESHA-NABAD adopts a systems-based approach that strengthens the relationships, institutions, and market systems needed for communities to anticipate, absorb, and adapt to recurring shocks. As the programme enters its final year, the consortium is focusing on scaling successful interventions, capturing evidence and lessons learned, and strengthening local systems and partnerships that will continue to drive resilience and peace beyond the project’s lifespan.
RACIDA expresses its gratitude to the European Union and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (Danida) for their continued support of locally led resilience programming, and to the BORESHA-NABAD consortium partners and county governments for their shared commitment to building peaceful, resilient, and prosperous communities across the Mandera Triangle.
