Common Programme Framework for Ending Drought Emergencies
The 2010-11 crisis in the Horn of Africa proved to be a turning point in drought management. It generated a commitment from governments
and their partners not just to improve their future response once drought arises but to address the challenge of growing vulnerability. This emphasis on the structural causes of drought emergencies is the principal point of departure from previous drought management efforts in Kenya.

FY 2020 USAID Journey to Self-Reliance Country Roadmap Methodology Guide
The central tenet of the self-reliance theory of change is that country commitment and capacity to plan, finance and manage the development journey are key, mutually reinforcing aspects that largely determine a country’s self-reliance. As a country increases its capacity to manage its own development while maintaining, if not deepening, its commitment to do so, its level of self-reliance will likely also increase.
