Enhancing Land-based Adaptation and Resilient Green Economies in Makueni, Kajiado, Machakos and Kitui Counties in Kenya

Kenya’s dryland populations experience environmental degradation and poverty. Climate variability and change exacerbate these problems, as increasing droughts, floods and water stress impact rainfed agriculture and livestock. This project aims to build climate, economic and environmental resilience through large-scale agroecosystems-based adaptation. Through restoration of 50,648ha of degraded lands and supporting land-based enterprises we aim to impact adaptation and resilience for 57,250 people directly and 500,000 indirectly. With 7 Million TC02eq in emissions reductions, USD 156 Million in public and private revenue benefits. County governments and communities will lead implementation with technical support from the World Agroforestry Centre (ICRAF) and others.
