Climate-related hazards have been recorded as the main triggers for major disasters worldwide. However, extensive research in Opportunities and Constraints for Disaster Risk Reduction Interventions is greatly lacking. This study sought to research on this gap among pastoral communities of Mandera County. Three sampling techniques; stratified sampling, simple random and purposive sampling were used to collect data and information from key informants with a sample size of 157. The findings were analysed with Statistical Package of Social Sciences and Excel. Data were presented in tables, pie-chart and graphs. The hypothesis was tested by Chi-Square (X2). The null hypothesis of drought shocks had no association with effective and affordable practices of drought mitigation and preparedness in Mandera County, χ2 =4.468, DF=6, P=0.624, failed to be rejected.
