ARID LANDS RESOURCE MANAGEMENT PROJECT II

The Arid Lands Resource Management Project (ALRMP) is a community-based droClick to view larger mapught management project of the Kenya Government (GoK) that utilises a credit facility from the World Bank. The first phase of the Project was initiated in 1996 after the World Bank-funded Emergency Drought Recovery Project (EDRP), which operated from 1992 to 1995, came to an end.
While the EDRP was a quick fix project to mitigate the effects of severe drought, ALRMP is a longer-term development-oriented project focusing on institutionalisation and mainstreaming of drought management activities in the Kenya Government system. The first phase ended on June 30, 2003. More

While a marked resurgence of key environmental indicators has occurred after resumption of rains in December, key food security indicators have yet to recover and the number of the food insecure remains at 3.8 million persons. The slow recovery is attributed to a combination of an under-resourced food pipeline; cumulative effects of four to five consecutive failed rainy seasons; lowered national crop output; continued high staple food and non-food prices; remaining impacts of conflict in pastoral areas; and disruption to livelihoods and markets caused by the post-election violence in 2008, in parts of the Rift Valley highlands.Full report
