Project Objectives
The goal of the overall World Bank-United Nations Development Program (UNDP) project is to enhance the resilience of communities and the sustainability of rural livelihoods threatened by climate change, in the arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya. As a contribution to the achievement of this goal, KACCAL's development objective is to improve the ability of selected districts and communities of the ASALs to plan and manage climate change adaptation measures. This will be done through: (i) strengthening climate risk management and natural resource base related knowledge; (ii) building institutional and technical capacity for improved planning and coordination to manage current and future climate risks at the district and national levels; and (iii) investing in communities' priorities in sustainable land and water management and alternative livelihoods that helps them adapt to climate risk.
