LEAD IMPLEMENTER: OPAD East Africa

Project Description

Food and nutrition insecurity remain a major concern in Kenya, with an estimated 10.8 million people (25% of the population) undernourished, and more than 2 million under-five children stunted. Pastoralism and agro-pastoralism are the dominant livelihood systems in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) of Kenya. These livelihood systems are increasingly at risk due to effects of climate change leading to recurrent droughts, degradation of the natural resource base, including water resources, increasing population pressure, restricted access to land and conflict over natural resources . As a response to this situation, the National Drought Management Authority's (NDMA) Common Programme Framework (CPF) was formed to operationalise Kenya's ''Ending Drought Emergencies'' (EDE) strategy that focuses on the 23 most drought prone counties in Kenya. The action responds to the EU's 11th European Development Fund (EDF) National Indicative Programme (NIP) Focal Sector ''Food Security and Resilience to climate shocks'' in ASALs, which is one of the Government's "Big Four" agenda.

Project Goal
Contribute towards increased resilience of communities in ASAL areas of Kenya to drought and other effects of climate change
1. Enhance food and nutrition security of vulnerable households, especially for women and children. 2. Generate sustainable livelihoods and protect productive assets.
