Interconnectedness of Climate Change
The nature of hazards in Kenya has been evolving and presently though still hinged on climate especially drought and flooding, those associated with these have exacerbated outcomes with regard to impact on livelihoods. Thus frequency and occurrence of these events has increased. Most affected are the small holder farmer communities as well as those in arid and semi-arid regions now experiencing increased rainfall and/or longer periods of drought previously not experienced.
To overcome these challenges actors, players and communities are coming together to make resilience to these hazards a joint effort by
-having early warning plans
-empowering state actors and NGOs
-developing alternative livelihood activities
-testing new methodologies and best practices
A multi-pronged approach has been developed by government as a multi-agency approach of state and non-state actors (NGOs) which is working to have synergy in engagements. These include different government ministries, red-cross, local NGOs and community groups supporting each other in resource mobilization
