Water for Livestock in Garissa and Isiolo Counties, Northern Kenya
The context of arid zones in Kenya calls for a greater emphasis on preventive approaches and drought risk management both on local and regional scales. Surface water facilities, provided by low cost systems with simple maintenance alongside rangeland management are a key element of water supply for livestock and drought resilience in North Kenya where more than 80% of the population are pastoralists.

The context of arid zones in Kenya calls for a greater emphasis on preventive approaches and drought risk management both on local and regional scales. Surface water facilities, provided by low cost systems with simple maintenance alongside rangeland management are a key element of water supply for livestock and drought resilience in North Kenya where more than 80% of the population are pastoralists. |
| Ziele |
The main objective of this project is to improve livelihood and resilience against drought for targeted communities in North Eastern Kenya and support the recharge of the Merti aquifer which (main underground source of water of Lagdera district including Dadaab refugee camp) |
