Description

Based on its funding agreement with the GCF (Green Climate Fund), IUCN has selected the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Cooperatives State Department for Livestock (MoALF&C-SDL) to implement component 2 of the TWENDE (Towards Ending Drought Emergencies: Ecosystem Based Adaptation in Kenya's Arid and Semi-Arid Rangelands) Project. ICRAF will contribute to the implementation of Component 2 through MoALF&C-SDL.

The project aims to reduce the cost of climate change induced drought on Kenya’s national economy by increasing resilience of the livestock and other land use sectors in restored and effectively governed rangeland ecosystems. The project will contribute to improved adaptation to climate change of Kenya’s national policy of Ending Drought Emergencies”, as outlined in Kenya Vision 2030.
The project will strengthen climate change adaptation in Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). It will be implemented in 2 landscapes encompassing 11 counties and will benefit 620,000 people in 104,000 households and protect or restore 500,000 hectares of rangelands in a landscape of 2,5 million hectares.
