This document summarizes the preliminary results of a social survey conducted in 6 clusters across Isiolo and Wajir counties in Kenya regarding the proposed Merti Wajir Water Pipeline project. Data was collected through household surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and expert interviews. The results show varying levels of awareness, support and opposition across communities. While most of Wajir supports the project, some communities in Isiolo oppose it due to concerns about sustainability and potential impacts on local water sources. Many others are unaware or unsure about the project due to lack of information. Overcoming communication barriers and building consensus with local leaders is key to addressing doubts and gaining support.
