This camel husbandry practices in Kenya manual was developed as part of the Socially Inclusive Adaptation Knowledge for Resilience Livelihood in Northern Kenya (SOAK) Project. Its purpose is to help pastoral communities adopting camels as part of resilience building in response to climate change.

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. Communities in the region continue to remain vulnerable to impacts of climate change despite efforts by development agencies both in government and non-governmental organizations to build their resilience. Particular concern is the exclusion of social groups in the design of climate adaptation interventions.
