Supporting policy and practice in pastoralist areas
- Last Updated: 26/04/2017
Under the DFID funded Building Resilience and Adaptation to Climate Extremes and Disasters (BRACED) program Mercy Corps has been working closely with the County Government of Wajir to improve policy and practice around drought resilience.
This has included supporting the development of a number of policy documents including the first County Gender strategy in Kenya, the second County Climate Information Services (CIS) Plan, and a County Livestock Feed Policy document.
The first two of these policy documents were officially launched by the Governor of Wajir at a ceremony to mark this milestone on 22nd March, 2017. During the ceremony the draft livestock feed policy was also presented to the Governor. These documents are aimed at informing decision-making, planning and implementation around key areas relevant to climate resilience.
