Barriers and enablers to effective climate adaptation through the eyes of pastoral communities in Kenya

Climate change continue to present a big challenge to food systems world over however, pastoralism production system seems to have been hit hard. We investigated investigated barriers and enablers for effective adaptation to climate change among agro-pastoralist and pastoralist communities in the semi-arid region of Isiolo, Meru, and Samburu counties of central Kenya. There, communities participated in Participatory Scenario Analysis (PSA) to gauge their level of preparedness, and assess possible options for adapting future increases in temperature.

Socially Inclusive Adaptation Knowledge Integration for Resilience Livelihood in Northern Kenya(SOAK)

This project aims at supporting pastoralists and agro- pastoralists to use transformative and socially inclusive adaptation knowledge to build the resilience of their livelihoods and landscapes in northern Kenya particularly in Isiolo County.
