GB-CHC-285776-HEA001CAFODWith the predictions of an El Nino phenomenon in Kenya and the South and East African Region, there is need for a preparedness plan for CAFOD and the Caritas Network in Kenya and Uganda. As of November 2015, Most of the CAFOD partners in Northern Kenya had developed contingency plans for a possible El Nino response. Caritas Kenya has already initiated discussions within Kenya to discuss the planning as well as on deliberations for a possible El Nino Appeal . No concrete decisions have been made so far although discussions with Rome have been going on. CAFOD has actively been represented and participated in these meetings.This being a quick onset emergency and understanding that our reaction times to response needs to be ramped up, our preparedness and response planning requires even higher level of preparedness and planning. At the current time, no appeals have been issued although for CAFOD, the importance of informing our supporters about the impending crisis is can not be over emphasized. Carrying out assessments at this time and stage in the crisis will place us at a better position to provide value added data and field level data to any calls for RRFs applications as well as START funding that requires participating organizations to have some prior understanding of the situation and up-to-date actual field level assessment information. Thus assessment information is paramount and indispensable to a successful application as well as to enhance our capacity and ability to provide timely and targeted response in our strategic geographic areas. To realise this , there is need to constitute assessment teams to carry out flood risks assessments as well as identify any large affected populations that have not yet been reported by the press in our main areas of work in both Kenya and Uganda.

The three parishes are Ranga’la, St. Paul’s Parish and Nyang’oma in the Arch-Diocese of Kisumu. The integration of HCT in HBC response has provided an opportunity for project expansion with the provision of holistic and meaningful benefits to PLWHA, OVCs and the wider community. FRACODEP’s integrated HBC and HCT project evaluation (April 2013) revealed that there was value addition to the project delivery in terms of knowledge of HIV status, behaviour change attributed to reducing new infections, improved physical status of clients who continue to participate in awareness creation and as community HBC volunteers, increased acceptance of HIV status, reduced stigma at individual, family and community level, disclosure, and positive living. Additionally, infected people are seeking early treatment, and awareness of what to do such as adopting good practices including: drug adherence, use of nutritious foods and sharing of personal experiences. More people have appreciated and adopted best dietary practices for their improved health following sensitisation that nutrition plays a key role in boosting the health of PLWHA especially those on treatment to ensure drug adherence. The programmes approach in re-integrating PLHIV into economic activities represents a progress towards renewal and revival of socio-economic vibrancy. The project currently serves over 10,000 people including men, women, youth and children infected with and affected by HIV and AIDS. During this implementation cycle of one year ending April 2014, this project will continue to provide integrated HBC and HCT services. It will focus on greater involvement of PLWHA to ensure their visibility. New clients still in denial will be reached through mobilization and sensitization exercises. FRACODEP will continue to reach the wider population with HIV and AIDS education in order to influence their attitude and practice towards HIV and AIDS. Huge investment will be put in training and Income Generating Activities (IGA) for active community volunteers who will be retained for improved and quality service delivery, easy manageability, reporting, supervision and monitoring as well as motivation. FRACODEP will continue to contribute to CAFODs programme overall goal of preventing the spread of HIV, care and support for people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. The primary project beneficiaries are PLWHA. Others include the youth and larger local community in the catchment area.

The purpose is to improve delivery of quality, affordable and accessible health care services, through community capacity building initiatives. The programme will contribute through offering complementary services in the remote areas where the Catholic Church has set up health facilities and outreaches covered by the parishes. The programme will continue to provide basic health care services. The health units provide minimum/basic health care packages for most common ailments in the catchment area. During this implementation period, will undertake a baseline survey to provide benchmark data that will be useful in establishing the factual changes resulting from programme activities; mobilise and create awareness on the importance of home and personal hygiene, environmental management, local water treatment methods, nutrition, poor sanitation and its negative effect, gender issues, and rights of different community groups etc. The programme will address preventive aspect which will address cultural practices that promote liberal sexual relationship. Preventive measures will also include establishment of VCT centres, training of staff and community. Care and mitigation aspects will target the PLWHAs and the affected. Additionally, it will link and collaborate with the Diocesan Justice and Peace program and will be involved in lobbying and advocacy with and/on behalf of the PLWHAs, OVCs and the affected pastoralists. Key to the programme is internal integration, linkages and networking in order to create more synergy and efficiency in implementing diocesan programmes. Linkages with other development organisations will provide opportunity for sharing experiences and efficiently allocate resources among the organisations in the most needy localities and sectors. Networking and attending joint forums will provide opportunity to the programme to share the challenges experienced by the pastoralist groups, for national and international support. The programme will also provide an opportunity for documentation and dissemination of achievements with tangible impact to potential donors and other members of the public. The programme puts more emphasis on the needs of vulnerable groups such as women (including the girl child) and children, taking into account special needs of youth, orphans and vulnerable children, people living with HIV and AIDS, malnourished adults and children. The immunisation program will target a total of 2,000 children under five, 1,000 antenatal mothers, the curative services target 7,000 sick men and women. The trainings will target 160 adults, 300 youth, 80 couples and general health education targets 7,000 people.

The last of such project was implemented by APT in response to the peace challenges towards, during and after the general elections in Kenya in March 2013. With the support of CAFOD, APT implemented a project titled “Building Sustainable Structures for Conflict Transformation and Peace building amongst communities” which incorporated community dialogue and use of theatre as a tool for preaching peace which recorded commendable results in reducing incidences of violent conflicts among communities in Kibera (Nairobi county), Kondole (Kisumu county) and Kinondoni and Marereni (Kwale county). In the CAFOD EA’s transition to the new strategy and also in view of reducing resources, APT is one of the partners earmarked for phase out. This project has be designed as an exit plan to enable communities that have depended on CAFOD funding through APT to be able to carry on with the gains made in a sustainable manner and also enable APT undertake institutional capacity strengthening so as to be in a position to fundraise and support the interventions beyond CAFOD’s exit. This project is a 7 months project that has been designed with wide consultation between APT and the beneficiaries and has the following components: 1. Institutional strengthening: This will be done through strategic review process which will bring together key stakeholders to develop a new strategic plan to succeed the current strategic plan which is expiring at the end of 2014. APT will depend on its own internal resources and a team of professional volunteers and community members to shape up the new strategic plan. It is hoped that this will give APT a focused approach to its interventions and a cutting edge in seeking funds from potential donors. APT will further undertake internal staff capacity enhancement and documentation of project results to highlight its successes not only for CAFOD but also for other donors. 2. Community level exit strategy: APT aims at promoting sustainability of the outcomes of the previous intervention enhancement of the capacity of the community, re-energizing and refreshing the their change agents in peace building by follow-up training of 60 Community Based Animators and 50 Peace Marshals so that they have increased capacity to facilitate conflict transformation, peace building and governance interventions. The focus will be on Community Animators and Peace Marshals who have already been trained by APT. Training of Trainers workshops will be conducted. Further three Dialogue Forums where members of the community come together to discuss – through a carefully crafted artistic process using forum theatre, image theatre and playback theatre – will be organized in Communities. These activities will be carried out Kibera (Nairobi county), Kondole (Kisumu county) and Kinondoni and Marereni (Kwale county) 3. Peace Marshal Outreach sessions for 50 youth in and 50 out of school will also be conducted. In particular, schools will be challenged to come up with creative but sustainable forums where issues pertinent to conflict transformation, peace building and governance will be discussed. 10 Teachers in the selected schools will be invited to join the Training of Animators so that they may acquire skills to enable them mentor and lead the school initiatives that they will be encouraged to form and sustain. The target schools are (2 secondary schools– Kisumu Boys and Eutychus High School) The amount allocated for this phase out is 20,000GBP for the 7 months of the project.

These were achieved through media campaigns, dialogue forums, awareness campaigns, lobbying and advocacy activities training, distribution of IEC materials and home based care. Activities targeted men and boys on their vulnerability to HIV infection, and PLWHA receiving ARVs to adopt safe practices in order to prevent re- infection while adhering to treatment. The activities ensured quality and timely service provision. The services not only improved the quality of life of PLWHA but also reduced care burden on women in infected and affected families. Male community volunteers were trained on HBC, Counselling, advocacy and support group management. More men are motivated to work as volunteers, change agents and role models. Majority are HIV positive themselves. Service provision has witnessed involvement of men leading to increased number of men accessing HIV related services. Women have been brought on board to ensure complimentarily in service. Continuous skills building with regular monitoring and evaluation to ensure effective application and better service delivery is necessary. During this period, the project continued to scale up initiatives to reach out to a larger male population. Linkages with churches and other institutions such as the constituency AIDS committees and schools have improved. Men have been mobilized and motivated as agents of change. Men have taken on active roles in HIV mitigation. Successes during this period include the change of attitude by the community towards PLWHA, leading to increased number of people seeking support services from the project. Stigma is reducing as demonstrated by greater involvement of PLWHA in care and support activities, open to discuss HIV and AIDS issues and their HIV status; and joining of support groups or group therapies.

The HIV radio campaign programme developed project implementation strategies which have continued to promote and support behaviour change. Several achievements have been realized including the nomination of Radio Waumini station for the BBC radio awards in 2007 as well as the Red Ribbon awards for HIV and AIDS reporting. During the proposed three year implementation period 2010 – March 2013, the project will continue to adopt a HIV campaign strategy that include programmes drops or clips, features, campaigns among others on HIV and AIDS. Defined groups of people from selected parish with established Small Christian Community will be interviewed for accurate and information sharing. The process will be all-inclusive and embracing in diversity to increase general awareness on prevention, treatment, management and supporting the efforts towards care of people affected by and infected with HIV and AIDS. The radio programme targets the general population considering age, social status, religion, socio-culture and youth especially with a focus on reaching PLWHA. The primary beneficiaries of the project are PLWHA. It is anticipated that 108 male and female (36 per year) PLWHA will be reached at the end of the 3 year cycle. Other beneficiaries are Small Christian Communities (SCC) in selected parishes through which PLWHA will be reached and supported. A total of 36 Small Christian Communities (SCC) will be reached by end of the three years i.e. twelve each year. The radio programme will benefit the general audience and stakeholders with accurate and correct information on HIV and AIDS through weekly HIV programme features during this implementation period. Cumulatively, 156 weekly HIV programme features will be made – thus 52 features per year. Programme line up targets all ages and gender - children, youth and adults. The project will engage with stakeholders and established networks to produce features through press release statement by government officials, NASCOP and National AIDS Control Council, international organisations and local organisations addressing HIV and AIDS current developments. Other linkages will be with the local community CBO’s and FBO’s supporting PLWHA at grassroots’ level. The HIV campaign will incorporate some advocacy events especially for free counselling and testing. The project will also establish support among actors within the community structure such as churches, schools, representatives of local leaders so that PLWHA will be able to participate in activities of communities and on-going government interventions and development programmes. In light of this, proposed project will organise and collaborate with other HIV and AIDS service organizations especially CAFOD partners providing integrated programmes, thus, access to various services and categories of infected, affected persons and experts. This will enhance the quality of information shared widely. The implementing team including the presenters and the researchers will work with the programme officer to monitor the progress and compile the narrative and financial reports.

MIC has over the years gained confidence and recognition of the communities and agencies (both governmental and non-governmental) in Marsabit with respect to their peacebuilding and conflict transformation activities. The interfaith peacebuilding and conflict transformation initiative has employed short, medium and long-term measures in addressing the conflicts in Marsabit. The medium term measures have included the development of strategies and interventions to promote and sustain the transition from violent conflict to sustainable development and to build "fire walls" that inhibit regular societal conflict from spiralling back into violence. These measures seek to encourage tolerance and understanding between different ethnic groups. They seek to address the emotive and attitudinal effects of conflicts by dissolving the hatred, suspicions, fears, anger, and hostility that can block individuals' capacities to heal, forgive, and reconcile, as well as to find new solutions - non-violent ones - to old problems. Long-term measures take into account the structural causes of the inter-ethnic animosity. This project seeks to build on the medium and long-term processes to transform the conflict and create opportunities for peacebuilding. It seeks to continue creating confidence among the communities by promoting forgiveness, dissolving hatred, anger and bringing about reconciliation. In doing this, the project bases its success on an ownership structure that the community itself can recognize and approve of which essentially led to the creation of the Marsabit Interfaith Council. The project’s main goal is enhanced promotion of peace among the different communities in Marsabit region by encouraging tolerance, understanding and reconciliation. This is projected to be achieved through strengthening the capacity in terms of knowledge and skills of community and inter-faith leaders in conflict management and peacebuilding; promoting dialogue among the different communities residing in the District by engaging the local community and traditional leaders, women groups, youth groups, inter-faith leaders and cross-border community representatives; and increasing the level of networking with organizations and other agencies involved in peacebuilding and general development of the region. Over the last three years that interfaith peacebuilding and conflict transformation initiative has been implemented in Marsabit, there has been improved opportunity for active inter-religious dialogues and tolerance, as well as acceptance of the initiative by communities, governmental and other non-governmental agencies in the region.

The services offered include HIV prevention, psychological needs, social and economic strengthening, lobbying and advocacy initiatives and capacity building in an effort to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS. The project continues to successfully assess and register young mothers for various services and empower them in the following areas: HIV prevention, sexually transmitted diseases, nutrition and importance of child immunizations. They have been facilitated to form support groups for experience sharing and support of each other. Some of them are undertaking short courses to ensure self reliance, and reduced dependency on the project. CAM has trained religious leaders, and uses them for pastoral work and counselling of beneficiaries. The referral system between community and health facilities has been improved through the support of community volunteers. These have helped in supporting PLWHA to adhere to treatment and early treatment of opportunistic infection. A total of 3,823 new PLWHA and 5,062 OVC have been identified and are receiving support. Formation of support groups of PLWHA is encouraged and supported. The project continues to register good progress in Projects coordination; monitoring and evaluation, technical backstopping, and sustainability approaches are now more effective. Strengthened linkages and networking with other diocesan programmes is another notable success. This include OVC supported by USAID PEPFAR, HBC/OVC programme with support from USAID - APHIA II, Community Based Home Care (CBHC) programme; Shelter of Hope (CBHC) in Taita District; Solidarity with Girl child in distress (SOLGIDI) focusing on prevention of HIV for girl children whose parents are sex workers; and youth adventure unlimited, behaviour change communication and life skills; Solidarity of women in distress (SOLWODI) programme for women in sex business and Coast Interfaith Council of Clerics. These relationships continue to contribute hugely to the success of this project. CAFOD plans to partner with Archdiocese of Mombasa in the next three years (April 2013 to March 2016) to implement an integrated food security programme (IFS). A needs assessment to inform the IFS design and implementation methodology is scheduled to be conducted by June 2013. It is anticipated that following the needs assessment peace building activities, livelihoods security and disaster risk reduction will be integrated in the ongoing HIV and AIDS work to facilitate a comprehensive response to the community’s needs.

Samburu county is a remote and marginalized from mainstream development and lacks basic infrastructure, for example, roads, communication infrastructure and water facilities. Water facilities are inadequately developed and spatially far apart. Livestock markets are generally few in remote areas, hence over-supplied with livestock for sale, resulting in very low prices for livestock. Extension services for livestock production are lacking, Livestock diseases are prevalent with frequent outbreaks, of foot and mouth disease, contagious caprine preneumonia (CCPP), east coast fever (ECF) and infestation of parasites. The County is classified as arid and semi-arid and is affected by frequent droughts which have become more severe in recent years due to climate change. These droughts have devastating effects on Pastoralist's livelihoods (livestock) and food security as they cause livestock losses, and subsequent food insecurity. Cattle are particularly badly affected by drought compared to small livestock as natural resources like pasture and water deteriorate during droughts. As a result, the communities are periodically dependant on food aid. The problem is made worse by communities’ reliance on a single source of livelihood (livestock), as they lack alternative sources of income mainly due to high rates of illiteracy and unemployment. Lack of alternative sources of livelihoods forces communities to turn to charcoal burning as a coping mechanism, which in itself leads to environmental degradation. Further, local breeds of livestock produce low yields of milk and have small body size and they are often unattractive in the competitive markets. Samburu County is also affected by inter-community conflict mainly resulting from cattle raids and struggle over access to natural resources like pasture and water for livestock during drought. However, there are other factors to conflict, political instigation on ethnic grounds, inadequate participation and representation of social, economic and political minorities in development initiatives, events and forums. Influx of small arms and light weapons due to civil strife in the neighbouring countries of Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan and Northern Uganda, porous borders and Inadequate legal and institutional framework to deal with conflicts internally. It is important to note that the above factors interact in such a way that behind any conflict, there are other underlying, unresolved or related issues, which would need to be understood before amicable solutions can be reached. The conflicts in the region have, therefore, handicapped the livelihoods of the communities subjecting them to endemic poverty. This is cycle 3 Integrated livelihoods and peace project for three years 2012 -2014. The project seeks to enhance house hold food security through increased incomes, seeks to enhance communities capacities for peace and conflict transformation. The project has livelihoods and peace building activities that are complementary. The target areas are Wamba, Maralal and Baragoi zones. The 14 Parishes of the Diocese provide structures at the grassroots level through which spiritual as well as development activities of communities are implemented. The project will utilise a combination of activities including a baseline survey, capacity building of farmers on modern farming technology, introduction of drought resistant crops, and income generation activities. To support harmonious co-existence the project will support local justice and peace structures on early warning signs, empower the community to participate and engage in development activities that include resident associations, governance and training forums, and media advocacy amongst others. The project will seek to have coordinated interventions by peace actors for sustainability and bigger impact. The total budget for project this will be 80,000 per year for three years. Whereas peace building activities will target the larger population, the project will reach a total of 805 households: 225 (organized into 10 groups) with IGAs, 430 with crop farming, 100 households with Dairy Goats and 50 with bucks for cross breeding.

The project is situated in Ikanga location of Mutomo district – in the sub-locations of Nduundune, Kiangwa, and Makele. A total of 450 households were selected to form 29 farmer field schools (FFS). The FFS groups were facilitated to identify Natural Resource Management needs in their localities and to work on their private lands and also public land to improve soil and water management, water conservation structures and stabilizing structures. CED also aims to support the farmers in crop production and livestock production including provision of drought tolerant seeds such as cow peas, pigeon peas and beans and fruit tree seedlings of mango and avocado. The project also provides Galla goats. In 2008, the project also supported community water projects including scooping of identified shallow wells. Connecting water to a homestead of an HIV/AIDS support group enabled the group to water their tree nurseries and Aloe Vera plants used for medicinal purpose.

Prolonged dry seasons and droughts result in acute water shortages for both humans and livestock, shortage or lack of pasture and low livestock prices due to poor livestock body conditions and to livestock losses and subsequently to food insecurity. As a result of prolonged droughts and water shortages, livestock have to trek for more than 20 kilometres one way to water sources, forcing herders to water their livestock every third or fourth day instead of daily. Women also spend a lot of hours fetching water. The communities rely on relief food during drought periods. The project's long term /strategic goal is to achieve sustainable livelihoods and improved food security among poor pastoralists of Torosei and Ewuaso Kedong locations in Kajiado District. The project components are geared towards disaster risk reduction, improved food security and increased household incomes. The project components include: + Improved water resources management + Range land and pasture management through hay conservation and beekeeping + Improved livestock husbandry: restocking, animal health, breed improvement. + Income generating activities: small businesses, beekeeping for honey production and buying, fattening and selling of steers.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Dupoto-e-MaaCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk50000.0000141210.998857403.058779866.490758206.217857898.691550000.0000CAFOD General Funds50000.0000CAFOD General Funds53000.0000CAFOD General Funds38210.9988CAFOD General Funds57403.0587CAFOD General Funds79866.4907CAFOD General Funds58206.2178CAFOD General Funds57898.6915CAFOD General Funds50000.0000Dupoto-e-Maa50000.0000Dupoto-e-Maa91211.0000Dupoto-e-Maa57403.0600Dupoto-e-Maa79866.4900Dupoto-e-Maa58206.2200Dupoto-e-Maa57898.6900Dupoto-e-MaaGB-CHC-285776-KEN560CAFODPoverty in Kibera is one of the major impediments to peace building & conflict transformation as more than ¾ of the residents live on less than $1 a day. Women , especially female headed households, unemployed youth, children mainly OVCs and HIV infected persons are the most affected. Since the after math of 2007 post election violence marred by distraction of property and many forms of livelihoods , the youth most of whom are unemployed, have resulted to engage themselves in violence and related ills. Women’s role as peace keepers was also a gap identified in the fast phase. Youth Building Bridges for Peace in Kibera (YOBBPEK) programme is an initiative of Kenya Youth Foundation and Kibera Community Youth Programme launched in 2007 with the financial support of CAFOD. The goal of the project was to entrench inclusive community based approach in healing, reconciliation, peace building and conflict transformation in Kibera slums using grass root strategies such as music extravaganza, participatory theatre, peace clubs, village forums for peace and conflict transformation; and action research which plays an important role in community development as it helps in identifying gaps/hindrances to meeting community needs. CAFOD’s in-depth organizational review whose recommendations were to the effect that KYF internally rebuild institutional systems. This project is purely formulated as an exit strategy which will cover Jan 2014- Dec 2014 £ 15,000. The Project is premised on the following specific objectives: 1. Sustaining Village Peace & Governance Dialogue Structures in Kibera towards enhancing & amplifying the role & voices of women & youth in Kibera. This will consolidate the gains made in the previous period in establishment of village structures that have been instrumental in peace building. More groups are to be formed on voluntary basis so to take over the work of KYF at the end of the project. 2. Enhance community based innovative action research, training, documentation and dissemination of stories of change/case studies on peace building & conflict transformation, governance & poverty reduction in Kibera : As this an exit, KYF purpose to involve communities in research and documentation of best practices, significant positive changes and conflict dynamics that will inform subsequent engagement beyond the project period. 3. Strengthen fundraising & institutional capacity of implementing organization: The project will enhance organizational development of KYF on areas of strategic planning, development of HR and Finance manual, ICT systems and staff capacity building. 4. Strengthen and Expand Effective Networks on Peace Building, Conflict Transformation, Governance & Community development. As a strategy for pooling synergies, KYF will still reach out to like-minded organizations as it has previous done.

St. John Sports Society is an initiative of St. John's Christian Community which has served communities in Korogocho beyond the spiritual needs over the last 20 years. Korogocho is a low-income, informal settlement with around 100,000 people located in the Kasarani Constituency of East Nairobi and is divided into nine villages inhabited by people from across all Kenyan communities, with most of them living below the poverty line. Kutoka Network is a voluntary gathering of Catholic Parishes and organisations working and ministering to people living in various Nairobi informal settlements. Founded in 2002, the Network looks at the problems affecting the people in the slums, with the eyes of the Gospel. The aim of the network is to analyse the reality of the slums, to share experiences, to reflect together on the pastoral approach, to plan common initiatives and actions and to highlight positive aspects of the slum realities. Most of the ctions lobby the government and other stakeholders to find together with the slums dwellers the solutions to the problems affecting our communities. The St. John Sports Society, Korogocho (SSS)'s goal is to promote an integral human development with a focus to developing the sporting potential among the youth and women thereby helping them access opportunities beyond Korogocho. Its main focus is on human formation and community work. Through SSS's formation programmes the members develop certain acceptable ethical and societal norms, and qualities which help them integrate with the whole society without difficulties. Values such as teamwork, tolerance, forgiveness and reconciliation, self-esteem and self-discipline, morality, commitment and hard work, zero tolerance to corruption and discrimination of any form are encouraged and developed during the formation programmes. The SSS operates on certain lessons learnt in working in the slums of Korogocho. These include, that sports has a potential to rehabilitate youths in a slum setting making them reformed and more productive members of the society; and that the slums have tremendously talented sports men and women who only lack exposure and support. This phase of the radio programme has been shaped by the findings of the programme impact survey that recommended the need to network with other media houses on issues of the slums, have a more coordinated approach to programme production and presentation at Radio Waumini, develop a workable Kutoka Network media strategy, continuously monitor the listenership and feedback from listeners, as well as training the slum reporters and the programme presenter to improve the quality of slum reporting.

The programme has three pronged interventions of Home Based Care (HBC), Education for Life (EFL) and Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). Specific programme activities include medical care, VCT services, on going counselling, psychosocial support, pastoral care, outreach clinics, AIDS and health education, material support and home visits. This project (KEN563) focuses provision of static and mobile VCT services, community mobilisation, HIV and AIDS and health education and home care including support to OVCs. These interventions are targeted to rural communities to ensure that these communities easily access HIV and AIDS and health services. This project complements the all programme components. It plays a critical role as the entry point to the care programme. HBC teams intensify home visits and provide back up support to Community Health Workers (CHWs) and family level caregivers. Comprehensive Care Centre (CCC) provides specialised care and treatment to clients. Referrals to Gatundu and/or Thika hospitals for further examinations and treatment are made as appropriate. EFL has refocused Behaviour Change Process (BCP) sessions within schools to link with VCT services to ensure that the youth have adequate information enable them make informed choices. OVC teams continue to build capacity at village level where guardians’ self help groups have started to provide basic care and support to OVCs. New initiatives on improving domestic incomes for both OVCs and guardians are providing useful lessons for future economic empowerment and programme sustainability. VCT services through this project have intensified to provide close to home services to the local communities making the entire programme a reality. VCT sites are fully operational. A combination of mobile VCTs with the door to door VCT approach is desirable for wider reach and has enabled couples to access HIV and AIDS services than before.

Services were delivered through medical and nursing care, psychosocial and spiritual care, home visits, school health initiatives, and community mobilisatiion and sensitization. Among achievements realised during this period were improved health of clients using ARVs and those on treatment of opportunistic infections. A large number of beneficiaries were reached through peer education and community sensitisation by support groups of PLWHA. This has increased knowledge on HIV and AIDS among young people and the general population. An immediate concern is the growing number of children and young people living with HIV. They are faced with adolescence crisis compounded by their HIV status. They have limited skills to respond to their situation, and a well thought intervention to address their needs is necessary. Collaboration with the Ministry of Health (MoH) in provision of health services to beneficiaries is commendable. MoH continues to support the diocesan interventions including secondment of staff, provision of drugs and supplies and staff capacity building. Partnerships with AIDS Population and Health Integrated Assistance (APHIA 2) Program funded by USAID have been strengthened. Increased networking with local civil society organisations and community participation and involvement are remarkable. Collaboration and networking has significantly strengthened the programme in terms of reach and improved service delivery.

The district is mostly hilly and lies on a highland equatorial climate and as such receives rain almost throughout the year. Kisii district is one of the most densely populated in Kenya with around 50 % of the population below the age of 20. Due to its high population density, land is put to maximum agricultural use with plots becoming ever smaller as it is subdivided within families. A result of this is that a large population of Kisii community members migrated to neighbouring districts in order to be able to support their families. The Kisii community was greatly affected by ethnic tensions and violence during the last post election violence which resulted in a country wide displacement of 250,000 people and an estimated 1,200 killed many of whom were from the Kisii community. The post election humanitarian situation within Kisii came about when Kisii community members were forcefully evicted from the Rift Valley by the Kalenjin community from business/ work or land they had possessed in Rift Valley making them resort to return to their ancestral home district. Many people from the Kisii community currently feel unable to return to the areas they have fled from due to fear of fresh attacks and are opting to remain in their ancestral home district in Kisii. This has posed a problem because host families often have limited resources on their own and are already overcrowded and their financial resources overstretched. This project proposes to provide livelihood support to vulnerable returnee families who show the capacity to potentially re-establish their livelihoods which were lost during the post election violence. This project does not use funds from CAFOD, as it is funded by the Irish government through Trocaire and part of a Post Election Violence consortia between CAFOD and Trocaire.

In particular the period just after the chaotic announcement of the winner of the election was one of intense violence in numerous parts of the country. Civilians have been beaten, homes burnt down, businesses destroyed and men, women and children killed. The Kenya Red Cross has reported that more than 500 people have been killed, and according to recent official figures released by the Government of Kenya (Jan 6th), there is officially an estimated 255,000 internally displaced people (IDPs) as a result of this violence. A number of towns have been temporarily cut off and many major roads barricaded by various communities denying access to road users. This has affected the delivery of essential supplies to key markets and local communities. Among the most affected towns and cities are Kisumu, Eldoret, Nairobi, Nakuru, Kakamega, Busia, Kisumu, Mombasa, Kitale and Lugari. Most of the displaced groups have been camping at police stations, district administration camps, prison compounds, church compounds, local showgrounds and other public places where they feel some security and protection is available. People in these areas are homeless as they seek security in neighbouring districts and are in desperate need of shelter, food, water, medicine, personal hygiene items and clothing items particularly for children. Alongside national government efforts to provide relief assistance, CAFOD is responding to this situation in the slums of Nairobi with food distributions, in Eldoret and Bungoma with food and non food items and in Kericho with non food items. CAFOD is also making efforts to reach some of the displaced groups in Mombasa at the Kenyan coast where it is estimated that over 3000 people have been displaced and 10 have so far died. This request to Jersey is for support to CAFOD’s response in Mombasa, in continued partnership with the Archdiocese of Mombasa, to reach 760 people (120 men, 217 females and 423 children) who have been camping in five Catholic Parishes compounds (Likoni, Cathedral, Bomu, Mikindani and Changamwe). The Archdiocese of Mombasa has been providing direct assistance to these displaced people since they arrived in the parishes but are now running out of their existing resources. Shelter has been provided using existing parish facilities including meeting halls. They have also provided food such as maizemeal, rice, porridge and beans, as well as water from their existing supplies. Some additional food was provided by the Kenya Red Cross though supplies have run low. Each parish has sought to provide some basic medicines for minor ailments and refer individuals to local clinics where those services have been available. The parishes have, however, been unable to meet the growing needs of these groups and are in need of additional supplies of both food and non-food items. The Archdiocese has therefore requested support from CAFOD help reach out to these people.

The post election stalemate and violence has so far left over 250,000 people displaced and averagely 1,000 killed. Archdiocese of Nairobi is working with other agencies to alleviate hygienic, nutritional, shelter and other basic needs the displaced persons have been deprived of. Kariobangi parish serves many slums in Nairobi including Korogocho, Huruma, Gitathuru, Ghetto and Kariobangi centre. There are two churches in the parish, one in Kariobangi and one in Korogocho each having received a high number of IDPs. The area has a high population density, especially within Korogocho itself.

The programme focuses on justice and peace and sustainable livelihoods issues within the diocese. This is a second cycle grant for ICDP that is based on the recognition of the increasing intensity and frequency of drought and conflict in Northern Kenya. Reduced recovery periods between droughts and increased conflict that are breaking down existing coping strategies and increasing vulnerable households’ need to depend on external interventions. Assessments conducted in affected areas in the last few months of 2010, revealed that pastoral communities have been particularly badly affected by repeated cycles of conflict and drought. The regular loss of livestock, inadequate recovery periods, poor governance, shortage of pasture and water have undermined traditional coping mechanisms and increased conflict over natural resources. Repeated humanitarian interventions have done little to strengthen affected communities’ capacity to cope with drought. An external evaluation was done for the ICDP in October 2010 with recommendations that indentified gaps during the evaluation also formed the basis of this project.

The area contains the Kakamega forest and is mainly flat; receiving a very high amount of annual rain and. The local inhabitant’s main economic activity is subsistence farming and fishing on their own land or hired land. The population of the district is approximately 2.5 million people from different ethnic groups with the majority coming from the Luhya community. Tension started just before the post election results were announced whereby there was widespread suspicion and false allegations that the settlers had illegally occupied the land given to them when the white settlers left after independence in 1963. What followed was much violence, destruction and displacement of people from ethnic communities other than the Luhya community and the formation of internally displaced camps in several sites in the district. Most of the affected families were from Likuyani and Mautuma, which are settlement schemes where people from different communities bought land years ago from the white settlers and practice farming. To date, families at Likuyani and Mautuma have returned to their land/ places of displacement, but because they spent most of last year (2008) in displaced camps, approximately 65% of the displaced people have not cultivated their lands and currently lying fallow. Business persons who were operating in Kakamega town and other smaller towns have lost their business capital and now living on relief support from families and relatives. Some business persons are engaged in petty trade as hawkers in Kakamega town.

The society has intergrated both sports society project KEN575 and KEN561 activities in this one project. St. John Sports Society is an initiative of St. John's Christian Community which has served communities in Korogocho beyond the spiritual needs over the last 20 years. Korogocho is a low-income, informal settlement with around 100,000 people located in the Kasarani Constituency of East Nairobi and is divided into nine villages inhabited by people from across all Kenyan communities, with most of them living below the poverty line. Founded in 2002, the Network looks at the problems affecting the people in the slums, with the eyes of the Gospel. Kutoka Network aim is to analyse the reality of the slums, to share experiences, to reflect together on the pastoral approach, to plan common initiatives and actions and to highlight positive aspects of the slum realities. Most of the ctions lobby the government and other stakeholders to find together with the slums dwellers the solutions to the problems affecting our communities. The St. John Sports Society, Korogocho (SSS)'s goal is to promote an integral human development with a focus to developing the sporting potential among the youth and women thereby helping them access opportunities beyond Korogocho. Its main focus is on human formation and community work. Through SSS's formation programmes the members develop certain acceptable ethical and societal norms, and qualities which help them integrate with the whole society without difficulties. Values such as teamwork, tolerance, forgiveness and reconciliation, self-esteem and self-discipline, morality, commitment and hard work, zero tolerance to corruption and discrimination of any form are encouraged and developed during the formation programmes. The SSS operates on lessons learnt in working in the slums of Korogocho include, that sports has a potential to rehabilitate youths in a slum setting making them reformed and more productive members of the society; and that the slums have tremendously talented sports men and women who only lack exposure and support.

JHC's vision is service of faith through advocacy for peace and just societal structures for all with preference for the poor and marginalised. JHC delivers its mission through formative training on peace themes, conducting thematic researches and publications while formulating policies for sustained change. Given the history of attempts to decentralize power and resources, devolution has remained an emotive issue, especially when understood by sections of the country as an opportunity to claim back their ancestral (tribal) land. The new constitutional dispensation, which has established the County as the unit of devolution, has the potentials for conflicts, especially in representation of minority groups and access to resources. For instance, recent incidences in Isiolo inter-group violence where some ethnic groups are considered as having no right over resources in that county, the rise of the Mombasa Republican Council calling for some ethnic communities to leave the coastal region and their threats to secede from mainland Kenya, has potentials of dividing the country along ethnic and regional lines.Over time, thousands of people in Africa and Kenya in particular continue to suffer because of ethnic related violent conflicts. More so, tribalism is highly considered as a possible factor that could trigger violence as the country gears up for the coming general elections, which will usher in the beginning of the county governance. JHC intends to develop through research reliable early warning systems on potential sources of conflicts as the country transition to new administrative structures. This will help in building of peaceful coexistence and reconciliation of the communities in the different counties. The project will contribute to the production and synthesis of research information on social conflicts such as tribalism (and by extension regionalism) that will sensitize policy makers and implementer; the research will enhance peace-building strategies by providing credible information for civil society organizations, community based organization, government and religious institutions. Solidarity building component of the project in the first year of implementation the project targets to form at least one solidarity group of 10 young ambassadors for peace in each selected project area – Isiolo and Mombasa . The project aims; • To build solidarity groups of young ambassadors for peace in marginalised and grassroots communities and sensitize on accountable leadership and inter-community dialogue, build safe and supportive environments for communities to freely participate in public debate and create vital dialogue networks for communities’ expression of themselves in diverse inter-ethnic society as enshrined in the new Constitution. • To provide a sustainable link between research and advocacy in a bid to enhance national cohesion. JHK has undergone structural changes in the last one year which has come in with new management and staff on board. This changes have provided new ideas and a shift from just undertaking one off disjointed trainings in ambassadors of peace concept to activities that are linked internally and externally to other stakeholders . The kind of intervention proposed seeks to address the root causes of conflict and sustainable actions to mitigate an prevent conflicts.

The project focuses on the poor and vulnerable communities in the ASAL regions. CEMIRIDE’s role in this partnership involved designing appropriate strategies to intervene in the post election crisis with respect to pastoralist communities and also formulating short and medium term strategies on peacebuilding and conflict transformation. CEMIRIDE in this project is also expected to build on the ongoing long-term work of some of CAFOD’s partners in the marginalised pastoralist areas of the country. The project would be implemented in three phases which included: 1-Rapid Assessment on the effects/impacts of the post election violence on the marginalised pastoralist communities. The assessment was conducted and the findings disseminated to a wider audience. This report’s findings have been useful in planning peacebuilding activities and other programmatic initiatives in the organization. For instance, the findings of the survey enabled CEMIRIDE and partners to appreciate the historical and immediate causes of insecurity in various parts of minority and indigenous people’s areas. 2-Short term intervention focusing on advocacy and peacebuilding and conflict transformation targeting Marsabit, Moyale, Samburu, Isiolo, Turkana South, West Pokot, Trans-Nzoia and the greater Kericho districts. These areas provided were targeted in the rapid assessment exercise whose findings have shaped CEMIRIDE’s engagement with the dioceses of Isiolo, Maralal and Marsabit on issues of advocacy and peacebuilding. This is set to be further consolidated in during the second year of the project. 3-Medium term intervention building on and consolidating the issues addressed in Phase 2 by building on the lessons and strengthening lobbying and advocacy as well as focused PBCT among the target pastoralist communities. Activities towards this purpose are projected to be implemented during this second year of the project especially concerted engagement with pastoralist parliamentary group, local community leaders, and media houses among others.

Implementation will focus in areas covered by Marsabit diocese and will involve dealing with issues that form the basis for bad governance and transform them into opportunities with the aim of building a strong foundation for better governance. The project intends to facilitate various Church structures and other stakeholders to actively participate in building a good governance environment within their respective locality. The project will create opportunities for civic engagements and support citizens to articulate of their rights and collaborate for accountable and responsive governance. In order to make citizens to more confidently and effectively network, communicate, negotiate and collaborate with the state, the project plans among other things to engage grass root communities to come up with development plan and utilize the plan to lobby for development initiatives. In addition, it will also establish interfaith alliance and make use of coalitions of faith leaders in lobby and advocacy for better governance. The Diocese of Marsabit is well placed due to its structural capacities (grassroots networks) and long term experience working with the pastoralist to play a major role alongside other partners in addressing the challenges. Some of these issues include negative ethnicity, insecurity, weak government institutions, and outstanding boundary issues, among others. The Diocese also has well established infrastructure for intervention but requires support in terms of resources to implement the proposed activities and consolidate the gains made. In order the deal with these issues the project will engage the national and local level governance structures including the ministries, provincial administration and security machineries. In addition the program will engage the management of all the devolved funds among them the Constituency Development Fund (CDF), Roads Fund, Bursary Fund and Local Authority Transfer Fund (LATF). The project plans to work with Catholic Church leaders and Church structures.

It is an instrument of evangelisation and promotion of all initiatives and activities of the Catholic Church in Kenya. The radio programme under the ‘realising the faith potential’ project will provide forum for access to information especially to the most vulnerable of the society. The first strategy will focus on providing forum for access to information especially to the most vulnerable of the society. This accessibility is aimed at improving and fostering citizens’ engagement in leadership issues and creating a forum for expression. It is therefore planned that the common person will gain access to the studio and share in discussing leadership issues, invitations too will be extended to leaders to discuss issues from the theological, pastoral, political and civil point of views. All these will be done under the background of the Catholic Church leadership and pastoral guidance, with the key message of attempting to realise the potential of the Catholic Church in assisting to deliver accountability message to the leadership of this country. This programme will invite Church organisations, civil societies and collaborate with parliamentary representatives to discuss those issues that affect the common man (used in generic form). The forum will create a chance to communicate a strong message of responsive governance to Kenyan leadership. The programme is expected to start running from October 2008 to March 2011.

CEMIRIDE will work with the Catholic Justice Peace Commissions in the cited areas including the Kenya Episcopal Conference. In close collaroration with the church,CEMIRIDE will strengthen the capacity of the church to appreciate and assist in improving the situation of minority and indigenous peoples in the cited areas. These includes learning and experience sharing through participation in various pan african processes where governanace and justice issues are being interrogated in relation to minority and indigenous peoples. These pan african sessions will be especially earmarked for the Bishops of Isiolo, Marsabit and the chair of the Kenya Episcopal Conference (KEC). The main goal of the project is to ensure that Kenya government and its agencies becomes more responsive to the needs and make better use of the capacities of marginalized groups in delivering poverty reduction, in respecting human rights and in upholding the rule of law. Its main purpose is to ensure that the Catholic Church in Kenya is more effectively able to foster the notion of citizenship and accountability and to support marginalized groups in asserting the responsibility of the state to deliver poverty reduction in collaboration with other sectors, to respect human rights and to uphold the rule of law. To attain this goal,the project shall a) Ensuring that the church leadership more effectively influences states to recognise and fulfil their responsibility to reduce poverty, respect human rights and uphold the rule of law for all citizens; b) the Catholic Justice and Peace Commissions effectively utilise and enlarge opportunities for civic engagement, support citizens to articulate their rights and collaborate for accountable and responsive governance; c) More citizens confidently and effectively network, communicate, negotiate and collaborate with the state; d) and the Church collaborates in building faith and secular alliances in order to promote and utilise opportunities to assert the responsibility of the state to deliver poverty reduction, to respect human rights and to uphold the rule of law. The project will offer necessary technical support to the Church at the Diocesan level to conduct civic education amongst the minority and indigenous communities in the three Dioceses. These will empower citizens from these ASAL areas to claim their political, economic and social rights. More than just being aware of their civic rights, an empowered citizen will also be expected to actively exercise those rights, and to ask for redress in cases of rights violations. Through facilitation, coordination and technical support from CEMIRIDE, pastoralists will collect and analyze historical injustices inflicted upon them and effectively make presentation to the Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission. CEMIRIDE will facilitate Church leaders and civil society organisations from the three Dioceses to effectively participate in the mainstream national civil society advocacy initiatives. CEMIRIDE will also enable the Church and civil society organisation from the three dioceses share learning of best practice with other Church and CSOs leaders in other regions including outside the country. The project will assist organisations involved in the current national reform agenda in their work by providing necessary data and facilitation involving minority and indigenous communities.

The legal holder will be Kenya Episcopal Conference Catholic Secretariat. The project will be under Governance and Democracy Programme within Catholic Justice and Peace Commission. The project will seek to improve governance in Kenya in four dioceses by carrying out intensive civil campaigns, development of a simplified version for Constitutional Education during diocesan Workshops and disseminating this information throughout the established church structures. The project also sees a strong connection between governance and justice and will therefore carry out advocacy before the TJRC Bill becomes an Act as the current draft is seriously flawed, ensuring the participation and inputs of all Kenyans to the bill. The project will be involved in the lobbying and support of activities that shall improve governance. This shall include, lobbying for a responsive legal structures, supporting the victims, survivors and perpetrators of conflicts, providing the legal advice and psycho-social support. As an advocacy unit the project recognises the importance of research and shall carry out research, including conflict mapping and document the process to produce a comprehensive report that can inform others in future.

The other activities will be done in communities around Nairobi where KENDREN is already engaged and at the regional and international level especially those that relate to the strengthening North - South alliances. The project will work with its national networks in the following ways:- KENDREN and Jesuit Hakimani will join hands in Research and Analysis. Specifically focusing on the Debt Status, The Debt Management process, Economic Governance and specifically the Macro – Economic outlook: Budgetary process, Inflation Tracking, Fiscal and Monetary policies and specifically their impact both at the national and local levels and especially as pertains to the ability of the poor and marginalized to secure livelihoods. -KENDREN will seek to support Jesuit Hakimani in making inroads in the creation of a Parliamentary Debt Group but also in other committees relevant to issues of justice and equity. The project will also support Radio Wahumini to roll out the radio programmes involving the radio talk shows through provision of panellists and generating debates and background materials development, briefing papers and issue primers that will be used to develop the programmes. -Through broad consultation, KENDREN will be involved as a resource partner in the development and shaping of programme content and methodology. The project will work with CJPC in facilitating workshops and seminars for a varied tier of church leadership on issues of economic governance and such related issues and picking up campaigns issues and developing them to the national processes of not only campaigns, but the technical input for the production of relevant materials for various target groups within the church framework on relevant issues of the day. -KENDREN will work closely with CJPC especially on the Parliamentary Debt Group, through both the breakfast meetings, but also in the technical arm of supporting CJPC to dialogue parliament and other related agencies on central issues of economy, governance and transparency. -On the weight of a past relationship with AMECEA, KENDREN will support AMECEA in the technical work of generating position papers that have a regional focus and outlook especially on issues of Economic and Social Justice. -The two organizations will seek to revamp the fledgling Debt Campaign process in the country and build a concerted regional outlook and linkage. -KENDREN will seek to draw in representation of credible civil society organizations that can rally around AMECEA in its presentation especially as relates to dialogue with government and other agencies. -KENDREN will make input into joint researches, publications and the attendant documentation and dissemination of the information as maybe deemed necessary. Diocese Of Marsabit. -In partnership with DOM, KENDREN will seek to ground the national processes to the local levels and communities. -By conducting seminars and workshops for the clergy, church leaders and other organizations and formations linked to the church, KENDREN sees the viability of the public Economic Literacy in terms of broadening the understanding and linkages of economic governance and livelihoods. -Specifically with the DOM, KENDREN would like to partner on the issue of not only monitoring the CDF and local funds, but essentially drawing out the linkages between the economy, national resource mobilization, debt servicing and how this influences resource allocation at the national level with a major influence on peoples lives at the local level. -Through seminars, but also research, analysis and documentation, the two should be able to produce on ground perspectives of what exactly are people’s views on resource utilization at the local level and how this affects them. This can be a model that can be developed and used elsewhere and will certainly inform the backward-forward linkages with the other organizations like Radio Waumini or CJPC. In addition to the economic literacy campigns,the project shall also conduct research on topical issues and disseminate the findings in Quarterly Reports presented under the auspices of the National Development Round Table Series (NDRS);Organize monthly meetings with Parliamentarians serving in strategic parliamentary committees to share research findings and propose policy changes that can be brought through legislation; Energise the Ecumenical Platform by facilitating consultative meetings leading the convention of the National Ecumenical Forum on Economic Governance,respondIing to social economic justice issues through media, processions and other advocacy events. On fostering the North-South Linkages, the project will remodel an interactive website and share links with other existing networks from the North for purposes of strengthening linkages, sharing information and broadening the dialogue sites on the North-South dynamic.

This component is an attempt to contribute to the alleviation of the suffering as a result of the escalation of the drought situation in Northern Kenya and particularly in Isiolo District. The additional activities is in response to the continuing deterioration of the drought situation and food security situation in Northern Kenya and also an attempt to respond to the appeal by the Government of Kenya (GoK) following the declaration of the drought and food crisis a national disaster on 16th January 2009. This project component will reach an additional 400 direct beneficiaries benefiting from the “take home ration” from the previous number of 800 children and thus totalling 1200children benefiting from the “take home ration”. Additionally, the Diocese of Isiolo will target an additional 10,000 more people in its health facilities for treatment of common drought diseases. Already, an appeal has been made to contain an outbreak of black fever in Merti and Sericho Divisions. CAFOD is increasing it s support in health care provision to correspond to the improved staff capacity of the Diocese to arrest this additional threats to the lives of the communities in Isiolo who will now benefit either directly or indirectly from improved access to essential medical assistance from clinics run by the Diocese with mobile outreach clinics, By working more closely with the Arid Land resource Ministry, The Diocese will help to increase and improved access to safe water through water trucking through the provision of diesel fuel to support the Government of Kenya (GoK) carry out water tankering operations in locations hardest hit by drought.

The project will prevent people from having to sell essential assets to buy extra food and drugs. The project will primarily be implemented in 4 villages of Ngilai, Bendera, Logetei and Nachola in Baragoi division. The project will be linked with a two year DRR programme whose purpose will be to build the resilience of the local communities to future droughts and related hazards. These areas are inhabited by the Turkana, Samburu and Pokot pastoralists groups who have raided each other for years creating tensions and displacements that have never healed with time. Recurrent cattle raiding between these communities has left the communities living in fear and destituted and chronically reliant on food. The Project is based on preliminary proposals submitted to CAFOD by The Diocese of Maralal Development office to protect the most vulnerable people. The project aims to support complement and strengthen the ongoing livelihoods and Disaster Risk Reduction work already underway in the affected pastoral and agro-pastoral zones. This proposal entails providing support in the following areas; • Provision of emergency water systems to communities affected by drought and without any form of water supplies to survive on. • Provision of take home food rations for children leaving the supplementary feeding programmes. The project aims to provide direct support to an estimated 1,500 people who will receive a food ration plus 3000 people will benefits from emergency water supplies over a 3 month period. Indirectly, the population to benefit is estimated at 8,432 people.

The two districts are located in the Arid and Semi-arid (ASAL) areas in Northern Kenya. These areas are prone to drought on a cyclical basis. Analysis over the past two to three decades highlights the greater prevalence of drought in these areas, reduced recovery periods and increasing intensity. The main livelihoods of people living in the ASAL areas are largely dependent on consistent climatic conditions, particularly a reliable and predictable pattern of rainfall, with adequate recovery periods between droughts and floods. According to the Kenya Food Security Steering Group’s (KFSSG) Assessment Report, 2008, “reduced recovery periods between droughts are breaking down their existing coping strategies and increasing dependency on external humanitarian interventions”. Further, conflicts over scarce resources resulting from the harsh climatic conditions continue to dog these ASAL areas. Rains are supposed to fall twice a year; the long rains fall between March to May and the short rains in October - December. These rains have been unreliable and inadequate over the years. According to the KFSSG’s Long Rains Assessment Report, 2008, a significant and growing proportion of the population in Northern Kenya suffers chronic and acute food insecurity. The population is not able to meet their minimum food requirements during the drought periods. The poor performance of the long rains season was compounded by a complex combination of other food security factors within the livelihoods including the spread of the highly virulent Peste de Petits Ruminants (PPR) livestock disease which has a mortality rate of 50-80 percent, heightened food and non-food prices, rising conflict; below normal short rains seasons and reduced resilience caused by cumulative effects of consecutive years of eroded coping strategies caused by drought, floods and conflict. The report indicated that food security has been declining in the Northern areas and in the significant areas of the agro pastoral and marginal agricultural clusters. The long rains was characterised by early cessation and most areas reported less than 50 percent of normal rainfall. The poor rains resulted in livestock and pastoralists having to trek distances of up to 10 Kilometres in search of water and pasture as the drought conditions set in earlier than usual. Furthermore, livestock disease outbreak resulted in movement quarantines and closure of markets, thus limiting trade. Moreover, food prices rose up to 50-80 percent higher than normal, while crop yields declined by up to 80 percent in agro pastoral areas in Isiolo District. Conflicts over limited resources including water points and pasture is causing displacement and negating livestock production prospects. According to the Arid Lands Resource Management Project (ALRMP) Early Warning System bulletins and an assessment carried out by the District Steering Group (DSG) in July 2008 the poor rainfall has resulted to pasture depletion, poor harvest and deterioration of the livestock body conditions. This has further led to reduced earnings from livestock sales and increased food insecurity. According to the Kenya Food Security Update, January 2009, the situation is worsening as a result of the failure of December short rains. The report shows food security has deteriorated to critical levels and the livestock body conditions are rapidly deteriorating due to inadequate pasture, browse and water. Currently, the food commodity prices are more than 120 percent above long-term averages across the region and on an upward trend. The report predicts that the resulting migration of livestock towards limited water resources is likely to exacerbate conflicts and predispose livestock disease, leading to livestock productivity loss and, in some instances, increased mortality. In a nutshell, a succession of failed seasons in substantial areas in Northern Kenya, the PPR and other livestock diseases, conflicts in the pastoral areas, the unprecedented rise in food and non-food prices, crop failure, and substantial gaps in non-food interventions have combined to predict acute food insecurity while heightening chronic food insecurity across the arid and semi-arid areas in Northern Kenya. The communities’ in ability to predict, prepare for and mitigate the effects of disasters, acute water shortage for human and livestock use during prolonged droughts and unsustainable natural resource management practices are major problems that the proposed project is going to tackle. Due to the cyclical occurrence of disasters, it has been difficult to realize long term sustainable development in the target area. To build resilience of the local communities to the adverse impact of recurrent droughts and other disasters, CAFOD plans to support the Development Office of the Diocese of Isiolo to implement a two year DRR project whose overarching goal is "reduced impact of disasters on the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable communities in the Diocese of Isiolo". The main focus for the two-year DRR Project is to empower the vulnerable pastoralists and agro-pastoralists communities to effectively prepare, mitigate and manage the adverse effects of disasters. This will be achieved by implementing a number of carefully selected activities including undertaking a baseline survey, contingency planning and disaster preparedness trainings, development and implementation of community-managed disaster preparedness plans, development and rehabilitation of water points, developing community early warning systems and advocacy on DRR and climate change. The project is intended to strengthen the establishment of sustainable livelihoods that are geared towards reduction of vulnerabilities of communities to hazardous effects. The proposed DRR Pilot phase will be an intermediate recovery, mitigation and preparedness phase in the Diocese of Isiolo after a three months’ humanitarian project being supported by CAFOD. The project is also indented to strengthen the existing integrated Sustainable Livelihoods and Peacebuilding projects already being supported by CAFOD in the diocese. The peacebuilding component will be a crucial component in addressing resource conflicts. The proposed project will therefore not be a stand alone project but will be systematically integrated with the existing CAFOD supported projects in the Diocese. In this way, the project offers a good opportunity for addressing disaster issues in an holistic manner. This holistic approach is believed will result in increased impact in reducing community vulnerability to recurrent disasters. The project plans to target 8,380 beneficiaries from the most vulnerable drought-prone communities of Korbessa, Kina, Badana and Oldonyiro with plans of scaling up the project activities in other vulnerable communities living in Merti Center, Kisile, and Modogashe in the subsequent project cycles based on availability of funds. These areas were selected based on need and vulnerability to droughts and other climatic shocks.

The report indicated that food security has been declining in the Northern areas and in the significant areas of the agro pastoral and marginal agricultural clusters. The long rains was characterised by early cessation and most areas reported less than 50 percent of normal rainfall. The poor rains resulted in livestock and pastoralists having to trek distances of up to 15-20 Kilometres in search of water and pasture instead of the seasonal norm of 7-10 as the drought conditions set in earlier than usual. This extensive trekking caused a marked deterioration in livestock body conditions. Furthermore, livestock disease outbreak resulted in movement quarantines and closure of markets, thus limiting trade. Moreover, food prices rose up to 50-80 percent higher than normal, while crop yields declined by up to 80 percent in agro pastoral areas. Unrelenting conflicts over limited resources including water points and pasture also compromised livestock production; rendered extensive areas inaccessible, thus resulting in poor utilization of pastures; caused closure of markets and resulted in the loss of human life and livestock. The Diocese of Marsabit also faces a severe problem of malnutrition due to reduced food access and availability emanating from the increased commodity prices, crop failure, poor dietary diversification, poor child care practices, inadequate clean water and poor hygiene and sanitation. Serious water shortages are reported to have pushed the price of water from Kshs. 20 to 60 per litre can in the affected areas of Marsabit and further eroding purchasing capacities. Further, a growing share of the devastation triggered by natural disasters stems from ecologically destructive practices. Many ecosystems have been frayed to the extent that they are not able to withstand natural disturbances, setting the stage for human induced disasters. For instance, forest degradation due to overgrazing has been a major contributing factor to climate destabilization. Environmental degradation in the area has been triggered by poverty and lack of a variety of livelihood strategies. The poor pursue unsustainable resource management practices such as overgrazing which weighs heavily on the fragile environment.

Having just emerged from a drought period resulting from failure of six rain seasons, the food security and livelihood situation of majority of the people in the region has become fragile. This is compounded by outbreak of diseases such as cholera which claimed many lives in 2009. Malnutrition cases have also been on the increase. According to the Famine Early Warning System information, the larger Isiolo District will continue facing food insecurity. There is need to develop and implement interventions that target not only the re-establishment of livelihoods but also measures that can reduce the impact of natural disasters such as drought on communities that have fragile livelihoods. CAFOD is funding livelihoods and disaster risk reduction projects in the Diocese. These projects complement each other. The Sustainable Livelihoods project will be implemented in three divisions; namely Oldonyiro, Central and Sericho. A decision to implement livelihood activities in these divisions was arrived at through a process of needs assessment involving community opinion leaders. Needier locations and sub-locations such as Kipsing and Modogashe have been identified. Communities in these locations and sub-locations identified their needs as capacity building for community groups, improvement in animal and agricultural production, water and sanitation and access to financial services. The project will work with women and youth groups. The rationale behind this is that women are the ones who are affected most due to lack of water and the need to put food on the table. This will include women headed households. Youth groups will be targeted for support in economic activities as they are most affected by unemployment. Keen interest will be given to ensure persons living with HIV/AIDS as well as other special groups like the physically handicapped are involved in the project. The project will target 4000 direct beneficiaries with 60% being women and 40% men and youth constituting 50%of the total number of beneficiaries. With this coverage the multiplier effect is expected to reach a total population of 10,000.

IAP implements activities in Gatundu District curved from the larger Thika District in Central Province of Kenyan. The larger programme serves People living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) and their families including Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCs). The main project activities include VCT centres, HIV and AIDS and health education, OVC support activities and home based care (HBC). The geographical coverage of the proposed project will be limited to three sub-locations namely; Kamwangi, Kanyoni and Mbici of Gathaite Location. Basic health services are lacking in the remote areas/sub-locations (commonly known to IAP as the Upper Zone) targeted. This project aspires to alleviate the suffering of PLWHA and OVCs by supporting communities in managing HIV and AIDS community facilities and investments for themselves. A majority of OVCs live within dehumanizing conditions with very poor shelters, poor clothing, beddings, inadequate food, isolated and stigmatized by neighbours or close relatives and eventually dropping out of school due to lack of school fees and educational materials. The girl-child especially takes parental responsibilities when too young since she has practically to feed for her siblings. Such demands commonly militate the girl dropping from school, being sexually exploited, subsequent early pregnancy and at times early marriage. The boy-child easily falls prey of peers who recruit him in drug and substance abuse, is exploited as cheap labour while others resort to juvenile crime for survival. Most guardians are elderly women and men left with the burden of starting to raise families of OVCs in old age. Majority of these guardians have no income of their own. The experience is overwhelming and traumatising following on loss and grief. The psychosocial trauma exhibited by both the guardians and the OVCs are of a complex nature leading to first level of depression. Directly beneficiaries are OVCs as a result of AIDS. The proposed project will endeavour to provide the necessary care and support to the most vulnerable children in terms of economic empowerment, educational improvement, psychosocial support, community mobilisation and sensitisation for support of OVCs and awareness creation for the local leadership on the plight of OVCs. Secondary target beneficiaries are the guardians who are aged, sickly and lack resources to support OVCs under their care.

It covers an estimated area of 29,000 square kilometers. The diocese covers four administrative districts namely Kitui, Kyuso, Mutomo and Mwingi districts. In terms of livelihoods, Mwingi, Kyuso and Mutomo districts fall under agro-pastoral zone while Kitui is a marginal agricultural zone. The diocese receives a bimodal rainfall pattern with short rains from November to December. The rains are generally reliable while long rains from March to May are erratic and unreliable. This trend is ever changing. Kitui has witnessed the failure of both long and short rains in successive years. The growing food crisis caused by the drought and low rains is evident nationally. It is estimated that about 10 million Kenyan’s are in danger of dying of hunger this year. An estimated 2.5 million people need emergency relief assistance, 1.8 million people require general food distribution and 0.7 million school children urgently require food. In January 2009, President Kibaki of Kenya declared the food crisis situation a national disaster. The President called for international emergency assistance to be provided to help people struggling with food shortages in the affected areas. The present drought and crop failure has led to a serious shortage of food in the area covered by the Diocese of Kitui. The situation has resulted in high prices on essential commodities such as maize, beans and cowpeas among others. Local people cannot afford stable food and have resorted to feeding on wild fruits such as baobab and tamarind. People living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA); the elderly; pregnant and lactating mothers; Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVCs) and children under 5 years are the most vulnerable. The nutritional status of the people has deteriorated greatly. The most affected are women, children and the elderly. Majority of the people have been reduced to net food buyers. These poor households lack coping capacities due to extended drought and limited alternative sources of income. Purchasing capacities of rural households have declined due to a 60% increase in food prices and non-food commodities and low livestock prices. Families have resorted to sale of small stock (instead of restocking) so as to meet the food shortfall. The overall goal of this project is to alleviate immediate suffering, and avoid morbidity and mortality among the most vulnerable populations hardest hit by the current food crisis and drought in the four districts of Kitui, Mutomo Mwingi and Kyuso. This project will provide emergency support to avail food to the most vulnerable people within the next 6 months from April to September 2009. The project will be implemented and monitored by Catholic Diocese of Kitui through its existing network of HIV and AIDS Home Based Care (HBC) Programme. Specifically, implementation will be carried out through the 81 HBC outreach points. HBC project staff and livelihoods security team in collaboration with the community will implement the project. HBC teams will make follow ups on the beneficiaries up to the home level and weight monitoring. The Diocesan Relief Team (DRT) will carry out monitoring of food deliveries and also ensure that eligible people receive food and in right quantities. The Development office and Diocesan management team will provide overall administrative and financial management assistance to the project. To achieve this aim, Kitui Diocese will carry out a activities that will help affected communities to meet their most immediate food needs. Project interventions proposed include provision of nutritional support to 5,000 people; 3,000 people living with HIV and AIDS, pregnant and lactating mothers and the elderly and 2,000 orphans and vulnerable children and children less than 5 years. It is important to note that this number only constitutes 20 % of the 25,000 vulnerable people within the diocese. Households will have access to additional food rations in order to improve their health and enhance drug adherence among PLWHA on treatment. Beneficiaries of this project will include PLWHA, pregnant and lactating mothers, the elderly; and OVCs and children under five years. They will be will be identified by the community in collaboration with the Diocese. Targeting procedures will be based on a set selection criteria • All PLWHA registered on the Diocesan HIV and AIDS home-based care projects that require food support • Identification of the elderly, pregnant and lactating mothers in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the provincial administration requirement i.e. food by description • Orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) will include any child, double or single orphaned, in child headed households or living in vulnerable conditions faced by food crisis • Children under 5 will be identified through the child welfare clinics where scrutiny of the growth monitoring cards will be undertaken This project will supply communities with foods that can supply the basic energy requirements consisting cereals (maize), pulses (beans) and cooking oil.

It has operated in Kamwangi division for the last six years. The project was started in 1991 by the Franciscan Sisters as AIDS Education Mang’u; conducting HIV and AIDS awareness in schools and health education in the villages. The project was handed over to the Assumption Sisters in 1994 and continued to operate within the same design up to 1998. Since 1999, the programme has adopted its main focus providing VCT, Home Based Care (HBC), Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) and Education for Life (EFL) services. Thika District Strategic Plan 2005 - 2010 identifies major HIV and AIDS concerns as high incidence of STIs and HIV and AIDS, slow behavioral change and inadequate care and support for the infected and the affected. The increased number of HIV and AIDS cases within Kamwangi Division makes it necessary for IAP to focus efforts on prevention of HIV transmission and care of the infected through provision of VCT, Home Based Care OVC and EFL services. Over the last ten years, IAP has gained wide experience while providing services to its target groups and also in managing emerging situations in the course of its operation. IAP HBC activities entail provision of life support services at family level to people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. This programme proposes continuity of a holistic approach to care and support for PLWHA. VCT and counselling services for PLWHA, treatment of opportunistic infections, care and support through home visits, provision of nutritional supplementary food to the malnourished infected people and orphans and agricultural inputs to clients and guardians of orphans to boost food production will be provided. Income generating activities (IGAs) aimed at tackling poverty and social and economic impacts of HIV and AIDS in the community will be initiated and supported through the provision of credit for poultry keeping, livestock keeping, and cereal trade. A revolving fund for economic empowerment and linking groups to potential sources will be continued. Spiritual growth and pastoral care of PLWHA promotion of referrals at the community level will be encouraged. Beneficiaries will ultimately be supported to live positively leading to stigma reduction, improved standards of living and self-reliance. OVC support services are currently provided through HBC and EFL activities. Education for Life (EFL) activities constitute of AIDS awareness seminars, behavior change workshops for youth in and out of school, educational support to OVCs and conducting advocacy and sensitization seminars for school Parents and Teachers Associations and opinion leaders. EFL aims to create a empowered and knowledgeable community about HIV and AIDS with ability to make informed choices about their lives. The implementing team including nurses, counsellors and trained CHWs will deliver the service. CHWs include trainers, caregivers, guardians, teachers and peer animators who will continue to serve PLWHA and OVCs at the household level. Both teams will work towards influencing attitudes and practices of personnel in public health facilities, religious and community leaders for complementary services in order to reduce stigma. Through community outreaches, the mobile team will reach and deliver sensitization, mobilization and mobile VCT services to poor people and the general population. The project will build the capacity of staff, volunteers, and care givers to ensure efficiency and responsive actions towards the scourge. IAP has already created a web of local partnerships with health institutions in area of coverage and other NGOs so as to build bridges between the different teams providing service. IAP proposes to enhance these relationships and also strengthen and explore linkages with community-based institutions such as churches, schools, self-help groups, neighborhood associations’ etc. for synergies and learning in service delivery.

This project focus on HIV prevention and home based care. It provides friendly Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) services, capacity building for staff, PLWHA and community vounteers. Community mobilisation and sensitisation, production and dissemination of IEC materials and networking and collaboration are other key activities. Voluntary Counselling and Testing has a crucial role to play as the entry point to HIV prevention and home care. Availability and accessibility to VCTs enables early diagnosis and timely treatment while those who test positive will receive care and support and live positively, those who test negative are encouraged to retain their HIV negative status. Overly, the project reaches over 10,000 people including men, women and children infected with and affected by HIV and AIDS Integrating VCT in HBC provides an opportunity for provision of holistic and meaningful benefits to PLWHA and OVCs. Nutrition plays key role in health of PLWHA especially those on treatment to ensure drug adherence. More people have appreciated and have adopted good practice in nutrition through the linkage between HBC and VCT for their improved health. Clients on the programme are getting better and living positively. There is value addition to the project delivery in terms for knowledge of HIV status, behaviour change, improved physical status of clients, increased acceptance of HIV status, reduced stigma at individual, family and community level, disclosure, and positive living. Additionally, infected people seek early treatment, and awareness of what to do such as adopting good practices such as drug adherence, use of nutritious foods and sharing of personal experiences. To ensure change occurs, qualified and committed staff including project officers VCT counsellors, Clinical Officer, nutritionist and field officer are on board. National and international standards’ required in service delivery are complied with. The local community is a collaborator to the project.

This community based project is implemented in the 2 parishes of Rang’ala and Nyang’oma in the Archdiocese of Kisumu, which serve approximately 337,060 people. These parishes were selected due to their remote geographical locations and because the parishes comprise vast areas with very limited existing health care services. The project provides new Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) services and promotes family and community involvement in home based care for people infected with and affected by HIV and AIDS. It offers people living with HIV and AIDS in the rural areas an opportunity to access quality care and support through a network of community volunteers recruited through existing and newly formed women’s groups. The project has 11 qualified staff who are supported by over 500 active volunteers, drawn mostly from women’s groups in the communities. New infections and re-infection of HIV continue to occur despite various interventions. VCT has a crucial role to play as the entry point to HIV prevention and care. Availability and accessibility to VCTs has facilitated early diagnosis and timely treatment. Clients who have tested positive continue to receive care and support and live positively, while those who test negative are encouraged to maintain their positive status. The VCTs services have ensured effective uptake and follow up services including counselling, drug adherence and home based care; hence the delivery of a complete home based care package; and sustainability of the clients and the project. It is anticipated that HIV testing through VCTs will enhance people’s knowledge of their HIV status, behaviour change, improved physical status of clients, increased acceptance of HIV status, reduced stigma at individual, family and community level, disclosure, and positive living. The project targeted to reach approximately 3,200 people through provision of VCT related services and has been successful ensuring mobile VCT service penetrates clients who did not have courage to test in public health institutions for fear of stigma. This has subsequently increased the uptake of VCT services. Post-test clubs and support group formation enhanced behaviour change among the community members as well as positive living among the PLHIV. Interaction between the positive and negative people in the groups has led to reduced stigma levels within the community. During this period the project will continue to ensure provision of quality services to the community through trainings, counselling, testing, treatment, psychosocial support and networking with other stakeholders.

This is the second consecutive year of severe drought in the area. The situation has recently worsened even further due to the total failure of the long rains (March-May). A recent nutritional survey conducted at national level shows alarming figures. Samburu is amongst the hardest hit districts where rates of global acute malnutrition are currently above 20% which translates in 1 child out of 5 affected by acute malnutrition and highly exposed to high risk of morbidities and motalities. The proposed project aims at giving direct support to an estimated 1,500 beneficiaries by providing food aid to vulnerable households and supplementary feeding to 500 children under five who are at risk of acute malnutrition. The project also intends to provide hey and dairy meals to 100 dairy goats thus strengthening the undergoing activities within the Integrated Livelihood and Peace project. This project is also linked to the Disaster Risk Reduction intervention which is being implemented in the areas covered by the Diocese of Maralal.

Marsabit is one of the regions in Kenya which has not experienced expected rains during the short rainy season between October and December 2009. The activities in this proposal include the following: a) Supplementary feeding program targeting 1,500 under five and 950 pregnant and lactating women. The beneficiaries will be accessed through five health centres in North Horr, Maikona, Kargi, Liyangallani and Diriba Gombo. UNIMX and Oil supplementary food will be distributed once a month at 100% food ratio since the expected rains did not fall and the situation remains an emergency situation. Monthly MUAC data will be collected from children under five to determine the nutrition/health condition. b) Purchase and distribution of essential medicine will be done through the same health clinics to ensure that targeted beneficiaries nutrition condition is not affected by health conditions. In particular medicine will concentrate on addressing diarrhoea diseases and cholera which are common in the area. c) Water sanitation and hygiene promotion for 20,000 individuals will also be done aimed at helping the population change negative hygiene practices. This will be done through disseminating key hygiene messages and hygiene promotions campaigns in the same health centres targeted above plus 10 schools. In the schools, child to child hygiene promotion will be done.

Over the years Isiolo has experienced many forms of conflict the year. From the years 1996 – 2002 Isiolo experienced serious forms of conflicts that prompted many actors to intervene with varying degree of success. Since the year 2002 up to 2009 Isiolo experienced a period of peace probably due to the change in the political climate. Given the Catholic Church position of non partisan, non political and being voice of the voiceless it is better placed to intervene and foster peace in the affected area. The church realizes that issues of peace can not be handled single – handedly. It is in this spirit that the diocese envisages to work with other likeminded people and institutions in this endeavor. The diocese of Isiolo and partners are ideally suited to support this initiative because of their interest in development, human rights and promotion of human dignity and peaceful society. The project's two main aims include, to promote peaceful and harmonious co-existence among the Isiolo communities and the neighbors; and to enhance communities capacities on peace and conflict transformation.

The project targets 2,000 most poor and vulnerable drought-prone individuals in the location. The overarching goal of the proposed project is ‘to improve resilience of most poor vulnerable drought-prone communities of Kyatune through creation of economic community based assets to mitigate the effects of drought and climate change’ The project aims at achieving four major closely interrelated outcomes. Firstly; improved capacity for the local communities residing in Kyatune to prepare and mitigate against the effects of droughts and other natural calamities by 2012 through training local leaders on DRR, drought contingency planning, awareness creation on DRR and climate change, formation of Early Warning Groups and preparation and dissemination of early warning information, establishment of tree nurseries and planting of ecologically friendly trees. Secondly, Increased availability, access and management of water for domestic, agricultural and livestock production through out the dry season by 2012 through construction and protection of water structures through voucher for work system, formation and training of Water User Associations on water management and DRR, awareness creation on hygiene and sanitation and construction of ar-baloo toilet slabs for the most poor and vulnerable households. Thirdly; increased food production through better farming technologies such as community demonstration farms, green houses at household level, drip/watering irrigation instead of relying on rain-fed agriculture, support for horticultural crops, vegetable and fruit tree growing, preparation and application of compost manure, training on conservation agriculture, establishment of producer marketing groups, awareness creation on drought tolerant crops and establishment of seed banks. Finally; the project also aims at achieving increased household incomes through improved market access for sale of farm produce. This outcome will be achieved through supporting most affected households with ghalla goats and bucks, training Community Animal Health Assistants (paravets) on animal husbandry, increasing farmers’ access to market information through establishment of market information centres and boards and supporting farmers to establish market linkages. Further, energy saving technologies will be incorporated in the training sessions. The project will utilize the existing Diocesan Church structures especially the Parishes to reach out to the intended beneficiaries. The project will also collect and analyze gender-specific information on the participation of women and other vulnerable groups. The project will take into consideration the interests of women, children, youth and poor men as well as the voices of the community leaders and other individuals and community based groups in ensuring that human rights upheld.

The added value of SCCRR initiative is that it brings a range of actors together in a new and meaningful way, building on the strengths of each with a view to creating local and sustainable solutions to the intractable nature of conflict in the region. Furthermore, SCCRR has been mandated to work for peace and conflict resolution in northern Kenya by 64 missionary groups working in the country, and enjoys the support of the Kenyan government authorities (nationally and local) and academic institutions in Nairobi The overall problem this project seeks to address is the prevailing violence and conflict between the Turkana people and neighbouring ethnic groups, notably the Karimojong, Toposa, Dassenach, Samburu, Pokot, and Borana peoples. There is a long history of conflict between the Turkana and their neighbours that significantly impacts on the well being of the people and the possibility for socio-development across the region. Through a range of methodologies, the intervention will attempt to reduce the level of violent conflict (behavioural and structural) in the project site. While the conflict has been ongoing for hundreds of years, tensions between various groups are compounded by the increasing availability of weapons across the region, and indeed the fragile political situation in the whole of Kenya following the violent aftermath of the 2008 elections. The overall aim is to transform the current culture of conflict into one of peace. The project further aims at influencing national development and security policy towards the region that would lead to enhancing human security among poor and vulnerable communities in the Northern regions of Kenya.

CAFOD has already carried out preliminary appraisal of the situation through its Regional Humanitarian Coordinator and the Emergency Response Officer for the Horn and East Africa region who visited Maralal between the 18-24th of June 2010. The preliminary appraisal shows an urgent need to provide immediate assistance targeting. At this stage, CAFOD and the Diocese of Maralal are looking at realizing the Goal of halting the spread of Cholera and safeguarding the population or Amaiya and Surrounding areas. This will entail the twin objectives of; a) Case management and treatment of cholera affected people. b) Protecting vulnerable and at risk populations from public health risks associated with poor water and sanitation The key outcomes from this project are defined as; c) Cholera outbreak in Amaiya contained. d) e) Knowledge and awareness on cholera prevention amongst at risk and vulnerable population increased to over 75% of the target population. f) Over 75% of the at risk an vulnerable population in Amaiya using safe water and sanitation facilities These two objectives would be realised through both immediate short term as well as intermediate interventions lasting between 2- 12 weeks. Immediate interventions (2-4 weeks duration) will include; i) Procurement and provision of essential drugs and supplies to Diocesan clinics to treat and manage the spread of Cholera. ii) Conduct weekly mobile clinics for disease surveillance case management in outlying areas. iii) Emergency Household water supplies chlorination through provision of chlorine tablets. iv) Conduct hygiene education and awareness campaigns to raise public awareness on prevention and control of Cholera; Intermediate interventions 4-12 weeks will include; i) Rehabilitation, construction and development of safe water supplies. ii) Conduct hygiene education and awareness campaigns to raise public awareness on prevention and control of Cholera. The project will be implemented through the Development office of the Diocese of Maralal and CAFOD will provide monitoring and technical support. The Diocese of Maralal Development Office will liaise with the Ministry of Health, WHO, UNICEF and other INGOs present in the area when carrying out this project to ensure coordination and coherence in approach. CAFOD will be monitoring and providing situation updates on the project on fortnightly for the first 4 weeks and then every month the remainder of the project.

The overall objective of CBHA is “To reduce suffering, mortality and morbidity in conflicts and natural disasters by strengthening the capacity and ability of the “third pillar” – the NGO sector - to deliver appropriate high quality, effective and timely humanitarian responses.” Amongst other things this will be achieved through capacity building which seeks to develop capacity within the CBH Agencies and the wider sector to increase the numbers and competencies of potential leaders, and increase the overall humanitarian skills and knowledge base of existing staff working in emergencies. One of the vehicles to achieve this is through the Humanitarian Leadership Trainee programme. Save the Children is the lead agency for the consortium on humanitarian leadership development. The Humanitarian Leadership Trainee Programme is focused on bringing new leadership talent into the humanitarian sector. It is aimed at bringing new people into the humanitarian sector as well as enabling CBH Agencies to provide an exciting development opportunity for their most talented staff. CAFOD will participate in the Humanitarian Leadership Training Programme by hosting two trainees in its Kenya Nairobi Office. One trainee will be recruited in September 2010 and another one in the February 2011 intake. Each trainee will spend six months in Nairobi office and another six months on field placement with one of CAFOD's partners in the Horn and East Africa region. Save the Children will lead, develop the curricula and training programme for the trainees in consultation with member agencies. The expected results of this programme will be to drive up minimum standards of staff leadership development across the sector and allow the CBHA to tailor courses to its member agencies’ specific needs. Furthermore, it is expected to address the lack of leadership in the sector and thereby improve the response to emergencies. CAFOD is not obliged to employ the trainees at the end of their training.

This pilot project will focus on how conflict sensitivity is applied during project implementation phase. In implementing the pilot, consortium will not fund new projects but will instead examine projects from current project portfolio of member organizations. The Kenya consortium will apply and implement the pilot in two levels: a)Identifying a project that is on-going but implemented through partner organizations b)Identifying project that a member agency is directly implementing and on-going CAFOD as a consortium member of the Conflict Sensitivity Consortium will undertake a pilot project through partnership This CS pilot project is not generated or implemented to correct errors in the Integrated Peace and Livelihood project but rather to develop and demonstrate effectiveness of conflict sensitivity or present the added value of conflict sensitivity to the target project.The pilot is expected to provide relevant information of conflict sensitivity and will guide members to develop conclusions that focus on changes that are only linked to conflict sensitivity but not improving programme quality. The pilot will provide the consortium members with advocacy messages that will be used in influencing donors and other stakeholders in adopting CSA practice in their work. The Key purpose of the pilot is: a)To make sure that our pilots draws out evidence based business cases and lessons learnt to inform conflict sensitive programming across our consortium and beyond Objective of the pilot: a)To generate evidence based conflict sensitive lessons from various phases of pilot implementation b)To identify key interaction indicators from the project through comparative analysis of conflict and project profile/Intervention analysis c)To identify at what stages of the project that conflict blind decision occurs and how this is checked and adapted d)To devise strategies and options of project re-design and adaptation strategy e)To use the pilot lesson as advocacy messages f)To develop CSA tools/checklist Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk9487.159317485.29219487.1593CAFOD General Funds12023.4811CAFOD General Funds5461.8110CAFOD General Funds9487.160012023.48005461.8100GB-CHC-285776-KEN632CAFODThis project falls within the DFID funded Food Security Project which aims to mitigate the impact of economic downturn for poor and marginalised people in Kenya and Zimabwe through supporting interventions that increase agricultural production and access to food. Kenya has been selected because the economic downturn and recurrent droughts has resulted in increasing cost of agricultural inputs and food stuffs which has in turn exacerbated an already fragile food security situation. In Kenya, the project will be implemented by two of CAFOD’s partners, the Diocese of Isiolo and Diocese of Kitui. In Kitui, this additional funding will expand on and complement ongoing work under the East Africa Sustainable Livelihoods and DRR programme. This project will therefore support farmers in Kitui Diocese through voucher for work interventions to construct soil and water conservation structures on their farms and also through construction of metal silos for use by communities for grain storage. It is hoped that this will increase agricultural productivity, improve post harvest management and availability of food during the drought period. The voucher for work intervention will also enable farmers to earn money which they can use on their priority needs including agricultural inputs. Local communities will be mobilized to engage in these activities.

The programme will be implemented in the Eastern and Rift Valley Provinces in Kenya specifically in the districts of Kyuso, Mwingi, Mutomo, Kitui, Garbatulla, Isiolo, Kajiado North and Kajiado Central. The programme will be implemented in partnership with Dupoto-E-Maa, Catholic Dioceses of Isiolo and Kitui and Solar Works East Africa Limited which is a private Sector Company focusing on Solar Energy Technology and operating in East Africa region. The programme plans to address the problem of poor and inadequate access to energy in target areas by offering solar energy solutions for over 407,792 households, 138 school and health institutions, and 69 rural community based groups within 4 years. The programme has 4 key specific and closely interrelated objectives that include: 1. To improve provision of energy services for schools and health centres in rural and peri-urban areas in target districts. Energy services for rural and peri-urban poor by focusing on renewable energy solutions as well as on energy efficiency measures through directly providing energy services in rural and per-urban areas in target districts. This will be achieved through installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, solar water heating systems, solar water purification plants and energy saving jikos (stoves) for rural and peri-urban institutions. 2. To increase local incomes for rural and peri-urban youth and women groups through installation of off-grid information and communication technology (ICT) centres in rural townships that will be incorporate cyber cafes, computer training and related services. The project will install solar computers, printers and photocopiers and establish solar commercial kiosks for mobile charging and barber services at strategic centres. The ICT centres and commercial kiosks will be owned and managed by selected and trained youth groups. 3. To improve management of natural resources by target rural and peri-urban communities through providing alternatives to crude sources of energy such as wood fuel, kerosene and charcoal through installation of solar water pumping systems at existing water structures, support for solar lighting systems for schools and health centres, use of energy saving jikos and community awareness raising on environmental protection. 4. To build local capacities of partners and target communities for implementing and managing modern energy systems. Solar Works E.A Limited will work in partnership with CAFOD and CAFOD Implementing partners including the dioceses of Kitui, Isiolo and Dupoto-e-Maa to train local partner staff, students and staff at target schools and health centres as well as community groups members on maintenance of energy systems and creation of awareness of the target beneficiaries on how to maintain and ensure safety of the energy systems as well as understand the benefits of sustainable environmental management. This will lead to technology transfer in rural and peri-urban areas and hence create a conducive environment for replication of the proposed actions as well as reinforced capacities at target areas. The programme is specifically designed to offer renewable energy and sustainable decentralised solutions, giving priority to energy efficiency through use of solar for household and institutional use. The programme further offers an innovative approach to ongoing development initiatives through the inclusion of private sector in providing technical support and capacity strengthening for greater sustainability and replication. The expected programme results include: 1. Improved school performance for marginalized children in 90 rural schools 2. Improved drug storage for 48 health institutions in rural and peri-urban areas through installation of solar refrigeration systems. 3. Increased rural incomes for 69 women and youth groups through energy systems investments. 4. Improved communication for target rural communities. 5. Reduced environmental degradation and enhanced environmental protection. 6. Reinforced capacities of key stakeholders and the development of an enabling environment for private sector investment. 7. Improved partner and community capacity in handling and maintaining energy projects through technology transfer in target areas. Further, the action plans to replicate relevant renewable energy projects to the neighbouring regions through technology transfer and finally, the action will provide off grid power generation through renewable sources. The proposed sources of energy will supplement other major sources of energy and have high potential to contribute to social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development in target areas.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Solar Works East Africa Limited CAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk640136.8620361052.450424823.1434710952.8747CAFOD General Funds-237202.0127CAFOD General Funds166386.0000CAFOD General Funds60000.0000CAFOD General Funds251718.7840CAFOD General Funds100000.0000CAFOD General Funds-50666.3336CAFOD General Funds24823.1434CAFOD General Funds51796.4800Solar Works East Africa Limited 149240.3000Solar Works East Africa Limited 83461.1500Solar Works East Africa Limited 33223.3900Solar Works East Africa Limited 6015.9300Solar Works East Africa Limited 126631.5400Solar Works East Africa Limited 23382.0600Solar Works East Africa Limited 67470.5500Solar Works East Africa Limited 29402.9900Solar Works East Africa Limited 26307.0200Solar Works East Africa Limited 27450.0000Solar Works East Africa Limited 15755.4400Solar Works East Africa Limited 29517.6200Solar Works East Africa Limited 8165.2500Solar Works East Africa Limited 1715.5500Solar Works East Africa Limited 4000.9800Solar Works East Africa Limited 107274.4000Solar Works East Africa Limited 80884.0300Solar Works East Africa Limited 54579.6900Solar Works East Africa Limited 18297.2200Solar Works East Africa Limited 11444.4900Solar Works East Africa Limited 45173.2100Solar Works East Africa Limited 24823.1400Solar Works East Africa Limited GB-CHC-285776-KEN640CAFODAs part of a 4 year programme, this project aims to increase access to modern, affordable and sustainable energy services for rural and peri-urban communities in Kenya.

The area is generally food insecure and suffers from chronic food shortage for most of the year. Currently, the Diocese is not currently implementing any nutrition projects even though the malnutrition rates remain high. The most recent nutrition survey conducted in Marsabit showed global acute malnutrition rates of 20.4 %. The main causes of malnutrition include lack of access to food especially during dry spells, poverty and decreased food affordability due to increased food prices. According to the 2010 Long Rains assessment report, while fairly good rains have translated into substantial improvement in household food security in other parts of Kenya, less than average performance of the long rains in Marsabit has resulted in communities remaining in the acute food and livelihood crisis phase in 2011. The failure of the short rains in late 2010 has worsened the plight of communities with reported livestock deaths, critical shortage of water and threat of famine. The need for this project has therefore been prompted by a need to improve the existing disaster preparedness of nutrition services provided by the Catholic Diocese of Marsabit. CAFOD’s partner has been the first port of call for local people during crises (even though the quality of services provided to the community was not up to international standards). The partner therefore has the potential to reach some of these affected beneficiaries which other actors do not have easy access to. The purpose of the project will be to provide an opportunity for partners to become conscious of and take measures to improve the quality of nutrition management at health facility and community levels. Whilst CAFOD is looking at possibilities of providing emergency response support to communities it would at the same time like to support the partners to upscale and upgrade their nutrition management services as part of disaster preparedness and improve quality of service to internationally acceptable standards. From this the partners can be able to support their surrounding communities effectively and reduce vulnerability to malnutrition. Further, by hiring a nutrition assistant, this proposal will enable the Catholic Diocese of Marsabit to benefit from the partnership between Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, WFP and UNICEF who will provide training, food and non food supplies through the delivery of essential nutrition services, through an initiative known as High Impact Nutrition Interventions (HINI) in Kenya. HINI has proven to be cost effective and feasible in prevention and treatment of under nutrition globally. Through the HINI initiative, the community is supported in various ways including: 1. Promotion of optimal infant and young child nutrition and improved hygiene practices. 2. Prevention of micronutrients deficiencies through supplementation, de-worming and therapeutic zinc supplements for treatment of diarrhoea. 3. Food fortification using multiple micronutrient powders. 4. Integrated management of acute malnutrition. 5. Increased dietary diversity through consideration of nutrition in food and agriculture programmes, incorporation of nutrition in school curricula and pre-service education. In addition, within this partnership, the Catholic Diocese of Marsabit will be supported with blended food for supplementary feeding, and general food distribution during times of need from WFP during times of drought. Money from this project will not be used to purchase food aid, but rather to provide support to the partner for on the job training, purchase of small equipments (Salter scales, height boards, MUAC tapes), acquire fuel to access project sites in the delivery of food aid and costs for supporting the hiring of a nutrition assistant for two years. The hired nutrition assistant will be key in strengthening the partnership with stakeholders at County level, and will be the focal point in delivering essential nutrition services, high impact nutrition interventions (HINI), ensuring coordination at County level, maintaining efficient nutrition surveillance; set up of monitoring and reporting systems, monitor actions which slow down progress in critical nutrition issues, advocate for sound and sustainable nutrition policies at County level.

The area is generally food insecure and suffers from chronic food shortage for most of the year. Currently, the Diocese is not currently implementing any nutrition projects even though the malnutrition rates remain high. The most recent nutrition survey conducted in Maralal showed global acute malnutrition rates of 15.7 %. The main causes of malnutrition include lack of access to food especially during dry spells, poverty and decreased food affordability due to increased food prices. The failure of the short rains in late 2010 has worsened the plight of communities with reported livestock deaths, critical shortage of water and threat of famine. The need for this project has therefore been prompted by a need to improve the existing disaster preparedness of nutrition services provided by the Catholic Diocese of Maralal. CAFOD’s partner has been the first port of call for local people during crises (even though the quality of services provided to the community was not up to international standards). The partner therefore has the potential to reach some of these affected beneficiaries which other actors do not have easy access to in a professional way following international standards. The purpose of the project will be to provide an opportunity for partners to become conscious of and take measures to improve the quality of nutrition management at health facility and community levels. Whilst CAFOD is looking at possibilities of providing emergency response support to communities it would at the same time like to support the partners to upscale and upgrade their nutrition management services as part of disaster preparedness and improve quality of service to internationally acceptable standards.

The main causes of malnutrition include lack of access to food especially during dry spells, poverty and decreased food affordability due to increased food prices. According to the 2010 Long Rains assessment report, while fairly good rains have translated into substantial improvement in household food security in other parts of Kenya, less than average performance of the long rains in Isiolo has resulted in communities remaining in the acute food and livelihood crisis phase in 2011. The failure of the short rains in late 2010 has worsened the plight of communities with reported livestock deaths, critical shortage of water and threat of famine.

Some of the contributing factors to the high infection rate include: cultural and social practices that manifested through early marriage of the girl child, tourism especially with parents encouraging their children (boys and girls) to go for sex at the beaches and high level of ignorance, where education for girls is not significantly encouraged in comparison to marriage. CAFOD partners with Catholic Archdiocese of Mombasa (CAM) in these districts implementing a HIV and AIDs project with four areas of focus namely: Co-ordination of Archdiocesan HIV and AIDS projects; empowering and capacity building for young single mothers; engaging the Catholic Church; other faiths and the local community on HIV and AIDS; involvement of PLWHA and religious leaders in care and support services. Women, men and children living with and affected by HIV, experience stigma though the specific manifestations, of this may vary according to age, gender, geographic location and cultural context. Within CAM’s area of operation stigma experiences are no different. Like in most communities women are often blamed for bringing the virus into the family (regardless of the actual route of infection), judged promiscuous “sinners” and can lose their homes, inheritance and property security, access to their children and even their lives on occasions. Stigmatisation of men more often results in loss of income, self-exclusion from health and related support services, isolation by their peers in social life and community events. Stigma and judgementalism also attach to clergy and religious living with HIV. For children, stigma results in their exclusion from school, playtime with peers, social and sports events. For all, the mental health repercussions are enormous but most significantly a major obstacle to implementation and accessing of effective HIV care and prevention programmes. As part of CAFOD’s 3-year plan (April 2010-March 2013) CAFOD HIV and AIDS team, proposes to undertake a Stigma Reduction Initiative, through existing partnerships in Kenya, Zambia and Ethiopia. In Kenya SRI targets to work with up to 80 Faith leaders through Mombasa archdiocese in relation to their role in reducing HIV-related stigma within their area of influence. Up to 50 PLWHA have been targeted for training as Stigma Index interviewers in the project. Each interviewer is expected to interview around 20 people either living with or affected by HIV, over a two week period if possible, at three time intervals over three years. It is anticipated that strategies will be adjusted to accommodate additional considerations from interim surveys. Periodic learning and exchange meetings within and between participating countries will inform development of the project. An existing initiative held jointly by UNAIDS and the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+) - The Stigma Index (SI)- offers a tool (a questionnaire) that will be used to measure and detect changing trends in relation to stigma and discrimination experienced by people living with HIV. GNP+ have agreed to collaborate with the CAFOD initiative, as it provides them with a valuable case study of the niche perspective of faith and also of a more programmatic approach over three years. In Kenya GNP+ will be represented by NEPHAK, who have previous experience in using the original version of the SI at national level. NEPHAK’s role is to give baseline information on the Mombasa context. They will also provide training, technical advice and ongoing mentoring to this initiative, in the use of the modified SI questionnaire. This project has been extended for one more year to end in March 2014 due to delays it experienced during the initiation stage Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Archdiocese of Mombasa CAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk20000.000020000.000020000.000020000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000Archdiocese of Mombasa 20000.0000Archdiocese of Mombasa 20000.0000Archdiocese of Mombasa GB-CHC-285776-KEN645CAFODThe quality of CAFOD’s work is reflected by the quality of work done by its local partners. This project is about improving the quality and accountability of work of CAFOD strategic partners.Emphasis will be on key aspects of humanitarian work, project cycle management, effective emergency response, international humanitarian standards and administrative support systems. The level of improvement is up to where partners are confident and consistent in the use and application of international humanitarian standards and principles in their programming. Whilst some capacity exists in the partners this project seeks to strengthen the capacity of the partners to respond to emergency situations and to mitigate the impact of humanitarian disasters in their areas of operation . Besides projects implementation, the capacity building project seeks to help partners to improve their administrative systems and procedures in areas such as human resources, finance, supply chain and logistics, parish and diocesan project implementation and administration guidelines. By aiming at improving the quality of work of partners the envisaged outcomes will be improved effectiveness in delivery of humanitarian and development work, improved accountability of partners and administrative systems. Key areas of focus shall be on improving project cycle management, better implementation of emergency responses and improving community managed disaster risk reduction and preparedness. For example, one area of training will be on conducting needs assessments during an emergency which shall involve simulation exercises within a community on data gathering, analysis, production of a needs assessment report, production of a project proposal and planning an emergency response. Other key areas of training shall be on international humanitarian principles and humanitarian law, humanitarian standards such as Good Enough Guide, HAP-I, Sphere, LEGS (for partners that deal with pastoral communities) Red Cross Code of Conduct and so on.

It is one of Kenya's Arid counties located in Eastern Province. The County has a population of 291,166. The main livelihood activities in Marsabit are Pastoral and agro-pastoral which account for 70% and 20% respectively. Livestock and livestock products are a predominant source of food and income to households. Most parts of the County other than Marsabit town chronically experience water scarcity and food insecurity due to frequent drought, recurrent livestock disease outbreaks, poor market and road infrastructure, insecurity from cross boarder raiding and resource based conflicts. Failure of the short rains in October 2010 and continuing La Nina induced drought has resulted in further exacerbating the situation in Marsabit. Low and erratic short rains in October last year have lead to less than 20% recharge of temporal water sources, decline in forage, breakdown of water facilities due to overuse by people and livestock. Mass death of livestock, mostly small stocks began in February, but the average daily loss of animals has risen in the last four months as crucial water sources dried up. More than 17,000 animals since January, according to officials from the Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) and the governments Arid Lands and Resource Management project (ALRMP). Many of the remaining water sources are contaminated, leading to increased incidents of water-borne diseases such as typhoid, amoeba and diarrhoea. In Marsabit, due to drought both water and grazing for animals vanished and cattle prices reduced drastically. As a result, there was deterioration of nutrition status particularly children requiring supplementation of protein rich food sources. The problem has been exacerbated by a worldwide rise in food prices. The price of grain in affected areas in Kenya generally is 30-80% above average. In many parts of Marsabit, up to 75 percent of their herds have already died while the remainder is either sick or dangerously underweight. The price of animals has plummeted by half while the cost of cereals has soared.Malnutrition rates stands at mean of 27 %. There is reported significant number of deaths, mainly of children, pregnant women and elderly people attributed to hunger, dehydration and water waterborne diseases. An increase in staple food prices, particularly in far-flung areas, has worsened, according to ALRMP: 2kg of maize in Hurri hills, Marsabit town has increased from 50 shillings to 150 Kshs (1.9 USD) and milk has risen from 40 shillings (50 cents) per liter to 80 shillings (1 USD) per liter ( January and end may respectively). School attendance has greatly been affected with some schools down due to lack of water , others experiencing low attendance while others having 2 to 3 times the number of students as pastoralists move with their families in search of pasture. According to the IPC classification, many large areas of Northern Kenya such as Marsabit has now been classified as “emergency” as of June 2011. Estimates issued by the Kenya Government and the United Nations (UN) shows over 3.5 million people are affected and in dire need of humanitarian assistance in Kenya. The situation is changing rapidly and is now estimated that over 4 million people will be classified as “humanitarian crisis” as early as August 2011 in Kenya alone. The next rainy season is not expected before October and December 2011 and there are already indications that poor pastoral communities in large areas of Northern Kenya are already experiencing severe food stress characterised by massive crop failure, high mortality of cattle and a steep deterioration of the livelihoods assets. In the words of many commentators, this drought is being described as the worst drought to hit East Africa in 60 years. The encroaching drought has resulted in reduced production of livestock products for household consumption, increased pressure on pasture, death of livestock and insecurity as pastoralists continue to move in search of pasture and others immigrate from the neighbouring Wajir, Isiolo, Samburu counties and others move to the neighbouring Ethiopia. Resource based conflict is increasing due to competition for limited water and pasture resources. On June 1st the Government of Kenya (GoK) declared the drought a national disaster and appealed international assistance to provide support to over 3 million Kenyans affected by the drought and acute food shortages Northern, East, Coast and parts Rift valley provinces. CAFOD through its traditional Catholic Church partners is planning to respond to the needs of the worst affected communities in 4 most affected districts of Maralal, Marsabit, Isiolo and Kitui. The assistance is meant to ensure that the livelihoods of these communities are protected and that these communities do not suffer. Based on the findings the Diocese together with the Arid Lands and local governments have prioritized the following projects to be supported by CAFOD: 1. Improvement of acces to safe water . This is aimed at providing Immediate relief to thirsty and hungry residents .The interventions comprise - Rehabilitation and equiping of 2 boreholes in hurii hills and Bubisa . This will involve de-silting water pans using cash transfer to households in preparation for the next rains. In addition some funds will go towards equiping and repairing boreholes in specific areas and training water management committees for sustainability. 2. Drought stricken but potentially productive households gain access to modest cash incomes through cash for work activities/project and whose long term purpose will be to improve their resilience to future drought shocks e.g. de-silting and construction of earth dams / water pans . 3. Non conditonal cash grants for the most vulnerable families (elderly, disabled , HIV and AIDS affected, orphans, child head-homes) . Each vulnerable household will recieve 150 Kshs per day for a month for six months . The methods of cash transfer will be decided . Option include the use of Mobile money transfer , mobile banking or direct transfer . 4.Additionaly the Health and hygiene promotion sessions will be provided for 600 households in the Diocese of Marsabit.This is aimed at improving the hygine quality whic suffers immensly as a result of lack of water clean water,massive livestock deaths and low priority as search of food take priority. 5.Construction of 4 water pans in the diocese for the remaining livestocks.This will reduce the tension on the existing and/or constructed waterholes and also reduce the incidence of large movements of livestock and people in search of water.Alongside this,the diocese wil construct 8 pit latrines in the water pan zones as a means of promoting hygine. CAFOD will also provide a grant to the Diocese of Marsabit to enable them to hire additonal staff to provide quality and effective support to the partner to enable the project to be implemnted and monitired effectively.

The epicentre of the drought has hit the poorest people in the region in an area straddling the borders of Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia where families rely heavily on livestock for survival. In this part of Kenya, over two-thirds of the population makes their living by raising goats, sheep, cattle and camels. When drought comes, both water and grazing for animals vanish and they sell for downward-spiralling prices resulting in deterioration of nutrition status particularly children requiring supplementation of protein rich food sources. The problem has been exacerbated by a worldwide rise in food prices. The price of grain in affected areas in Kenya is 30-80% above average.

Isiolo is located in Eastern Province of Kenya and covers 25,605 km squared. The three districts covered by the diocese are hot and dry most times of the year. Rainfall is scarce and unreliable. The wet months of the year are November and April. Rain-fed crop growing is limited to parts of Kinna and Central divisions. This project is to respond to the current drought which has hit communities living in Isiolo. The project aims at saving lives through improvement of access to safe water, improving food security and reducing malnutrition and morbidity among targeted communities. Through this project, the partner aims to support in the following ways: 1). Support 1750 drought stricken H/Hs gain immediate access to safe and clean water & sanitation facilities through the construction of new water facilities such as boreholes. 3) Support 234 droughts stricken and poor and unproductive households with under 5 children who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition or with elderly (0ver 70s) or H/Hs with PLWH receive non conditional cash grants that aim to help them access sufficient dietary intake for a period of 6 months. 4) Support 5 clinics run by the Church partners are supported with the provision of essential drugs and supplies and provide free provide basic outpatient services for a period of six months to poor drought stricken families/ individuals. 5) Support to the Diocese of Isiolo with HR, Logistics and admin support to mount operations.

Samburu North and East Districts are Arid areas in Rift Valley province of Kenya with 110,801 inhabitants, over 80% of the population depend on livestock as a means of livelihood and primary source of food. Following the failure of short ( October 2010) and Long rains (March to May 2011) most of the pastrolists have lost their livestock, Distance to water points has increased from an average of 8km to about 40kms, the few agropastrolists in the area experienced massive crop failure. Diocese of Maralal which has been monitoring the effects of drought in the area conducted a rapid assessment between 23 and 30th of June 2010 to prioritize intervention areas. the assessment finding show that most households do not have food 90% of 300 interviewed households had only 1 meal in the last three days , distance to water points have dramatically increased and resource based conflict have increased. In Conjuction with CAFOD the Diocese has designed an emergency drought response project targeting 5506 households in Wamba, Nkaroni, Naimirimo Ngilai, Waso, baragoi, Nachola, Elbarata, Nyiro Parkati and Kawop divisions in Samburu North and East district. The project aims at mitigating the effects of the current drought in Samburu East and North by promoting access to food and water in the first 6 months followed by 18 months recovery phase that will focusing on rebuilding community resilince and reducing the impact of future drought. The 1st phase will ensure access to safe water to 5506 HH through construction of a borehole, desilting of 7 water pans, provision of food aid to 669 HH to ensure poor and unproductive households have access to food assistance .Recovery activities will be identified within 4 months of the start of the six months of implementation of the 1st phase relief activities.

The region is classified as Arid and Semi Arid Land (ASAL) with rainfall being recorded below 600mm per annum. The larger Kitui and Mwingi districts did not receive the long rains in 2011 and the two districts are at alert stage of drought early warning cycle and the food situation is deteriorating drastically. If immediate measures are not taken, many people are at risk of suffering and dying of hunger. The CAFOD Appeal East Africa Drought Response Project of the Catholic Diocese of Kitui will be implemented in Mutomo and Mumoni districts. The target areas have a combined population of 25,508 people (Population Census 2011). The goal of the drought response project is to protect the lives and livelihoods of drought affected households in Mutomo and Mumoni districts in Kitui County. In Mutomo district, the project will be implemented in Kyatune locations targeting 262 households, Ngwani Location targeting 241 households, Ndatani Location targeting 140 households, Kathungu Location targeting 371 households and Makele Location targeting 157 households. In Mumoni district, the project will be implemented in Konyu Location targeting 214 households, Kanthungu Location targeting 201 households, Gatoroni Location targeting 145 households and Mbarani Location targeting 320 households, a total target population of 2,051 households. The project has 4 interrelated specific objectives that include: increased food accessibility for 2,051 most poor and vulnerable households through cash transfer, increased access to water for drought vulnerable households in Mumoni, Kyatune and Ikanga areas; increased land productivity through construction of soil and water conservation structures and organic manure application in target areas and finally improved accessibility to target communities through construction of 3 rural access roads. The planned activities will include construction and rehabilitation of earth pans, construction of rural access roads, construction of soil and water conservation structures and training on the same. The project plans to target 2,051 households through cash transfers. The project plans to mainstream HIV and AIDS by addressing the needs of the most vulnerable groups by setting aside 20% of the cash transfer to go directly towards supporting 410 households of the people living or affected by HIV and AIDS, the sick, the elderly and the weak bodied who are unable to work. The remaining 80% of the cash transfer will support the cash for work initiative targeting 1,641 households. The project plans to target 1,171 household from Kyatune, Ngwani, Ndatani, Kathungu and Makele Locations in Mutomo district and 880 households from Konyu, Kanthungu, Gatoroni and Mbarani Locations in Momoni district. The total indirect beneficiaries amount to 12,306. These include the household members who will not participate in the project activities or benefit from the direct cash transfer but will use the food bought using the money paid to project beneficiaries or benefit from the work of the beneficiaries. The project will develop a beneficiary selection criteria that will ensure that the most poor and vulnerable households are selected to benefit from the project. This project is going to be the first phase of project and will be implemented over a period of 6 months.

The whole of Marsabit District is food insecure, suffering from chronic food shortage for most of the year. Relief food is a major source of food as crop products are not sufficient to supply the entire district. Coupled with poverty, and the increase of food prices, households do not have sufficient funds to purchase the little food on the Market. CAFOD in partnership with the Catholic Diocese of Marsabit expressed an interest to implement Blanket Supplementary Feeding Project (BSFP) in Laisamis and Loiyangallani Districts of Marsabit County. The proposed action is to provide immediate emergency support in nutrition to reach vulnerable households through strategies that prevent acute malnutrition through provision of supplementary Corn Soya Blend (CSB) and fortified vegetable oil. Target beneficiaries are all children less than 3 years, pregnant and lactating mothers. Beneficiaries will receive 200gm of CSB and 20 gm of vegetable oil per person per day for 5 months. This proposed project is complemented by other actions, including improving access to routine medication and boosting immunization and vitamin A coverage through providing routine medication to all beneficiaries of BSFP. The project will ensure that individual beneficiaries and communities can have a better and improved quality of life through this integrated approach. The project is directly targeting 9,277 individual beneficiaries of whom 5,455 are female and 3,822 are male.

Kenya’s disaster profile is dominated by cyclical phenomenon including drought, famine and floods. These occurrences disrupt people’s livelihoods, destroy the infrastructure, divert planned use of resources, interrupt economic activities and retard development. Others which are recurrent include fire, terrorism, technological accidents, diseases and epidemics. Through Programmes, Caritas Kenya coordinates emergency activities while at the same time integrates long term development in a bid to build mitigation capacities for disaster prevention. The overall goal is to establish and maintain an efficient, effective and coordinated system for managing disasters in order to minimize losses and resulting disruptions and destructions of people’s life and livelihoods, infrastructure, economy and degradation of the environment. This emergency appeal is proposing to mitigate the negative impact of drought on vulnerable households in Kenya by improving food security of drought affected vulnerable pastoral, agro-pastoral and marginal agricultural households through food and nutrition, WASH and early recovery activities in 14 Dioceses of Kenya. The project will reach a total of 182,520 beneficiaries, or 30,420 households. The targeted households will benefit from both immediate life saving assistance as well as activities that will enable their livelihoods to recover from the current drought. The total budget of the project is €3,959,919 Euros, the full amount of which is sought from CI members, and the duration of the project is 8 months. Project Rationale: Two consecutive below-average rainy seasons have caused Eastern Africa’s most severe drought in sixty years, with an estimated 3.6 million and predicted to increase to 5 million Kenyans affected by the drought and in need of emergency assistance. The drought crisis in the Horn of Africa represents the most serious food insecurity situation in the world today, in terms of both scale and severity. Extremely low levels of precipitation have resulted in widespread food insecurity, pushing malnutrition and mortality rates to emergency levels across the country in recent months. Critical water and pasture shortages have caused livestock deaths and rising food prices have further limited households’ access to food. North-Eastern Kenya is the worst affected part of the country, with Global Acute Malnutrition rates in some areas exceeding 30% and steadily increasing according to Kenya Health Cluster updayte of 28th July 2011. Other areas of Kenya that have been traditionally food secure, and a safety net for vulnerable communities, are themselves under serious threat of a full blown humanitarian disaster, with FEWSNET now ranking the majority of the country at ‘crisis’ or ‘emergency’ levels. On 30 May, the Government of Kenya declared the drought a national disaster. In the past decade Kenya has experienced three serious droughts. As droughts occur at shorter intervals, the recovery period for communities is shorter and natural resources are unable to recover to sustainable levels. The country has experienced a succession of poor cropping seasons, with the exception of the fairly good El-Niño season of 2010. Most seasons have witnessed erratic rainfall, low volumes of rainfall and extended dry periods. Such inconsistencies during normally productive periods has led to a gross reduction in the production of food, insufficient recovery of water aquifers and the increasing spread of arid areas. The traditionally productive areas that receive rains have reported inconsistencies in precipitation, which has resulted in either total failure or widespread poor crop performance. Specific problems identified include: Nutrition Nutrition assessments by UNICEF in July 2011 showed Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rates exceeding the critical Emergency threshold of 15% in all of the northern districts surveyed. The following are the rates established in the areas being targeted for intervention; • 33% in Lodwar diocese • 22 – 32% in Garissa diocese • 15.7% in Isiolo diocese • 27.1% in Marsabit diocese • 19.8% in Maralal diocese The other dioceses included in the proposal are all experiencing malnutrition levels above the normal range of 1-5% GAM rates. Under five crude mortality rate has reached more than the emergency threshold (2/10,000 /day) in Lodwar diocese (up to 3.24). In the same diocese the crude mortality rate (adults and children) has reached more than the emergency threshold (1/10,000 /day) at 2.42 Food Access • With many animals dead in the Northern Dioceses as a result of the drought, and with the few remaining ones being targeted by raiders, many families have no means to feed themselves. • Prices of staples are 60-80 percent higher than the 5-year average in most markets and are close or higher than record prices reported in 2008.. • In the Northern Dioceses where many families affected by the drought are entirely dependent on animal keeping for their livelihood, there has been a total loss of livelihood.. Such families are highly dependent on food aid. • With successive failure of rain seasons, most of the families in the Marginal agricultural and coastal dioceses have lost successive crops and have no reserves of food nor the income to acquire food from the markets. • Communities are engaging in adverse coping mechanisms, such as skipping meals and in some cases for the whole day, including children, expectant mothers and also other vulnerable categories. Schools are reporting net migration of families from drought affected areas. In Wajir and Turkana districts some schools are seeing a large increase in attendance (up to as much as 50%) as families access food through existent school feeding programmes. Water • Poor rainfall has led to a poor recharge of water sources – (30-60% of capacity), and many of the water sources have dried up. • Distances to water points have increased from an average of 1-5 km to 8-20 km in the areas targeted by the project. • In many areas, the most practical intervention is to rehabilitate the available boreholes to increase the community’s access to clean water, but with the loss of livelihoods options communities are unable to support such rehabilitation.. Livelihoods (livestock/crops) • Livestock conditions have continued deteriorating due to the prolonged drought period. Goats and cattle have fared worst, with many areas reporting mortalities. The condition of camels is fair to poor. • Due to the high concentration of livestock in areas that received little rainfall, conflict over water and pastures is reported. • Farmers in the coastal and southeastern marginal agricultural lowlands are faced with the third successive poor season after failure of the 2011 long rains crop in these areas. Rains started one month late during the last week of April after a substantial proportion of the crop had wilted. Less than 20 percent of normal output is anticipated in these areas. Incorporating relevant CAFOD interests Caritas Kenya, in close collaboration with the in-country Caritas Partners and other humanitarian actors, has closely monitored the situation as it has been unfolding since October 2010. This has included field assessments, information gathering from the Diocesan partners, and participation in humanitarian monitoring meetings. Caritas Diocesan partners have also participated in the government’s assessment process, which has included data collection and collation. To co-ordinate the national impact of CI MO’s in country, and to capture the combined findings from all CI MO’s in country, Caritas Kenya has held coordination meetings with the Caritas Country Forum since November 2010 when the situation began to unfold. The last Caritas Country Forum meeting was held 3rd August, with representation from Caritas Kenya, CAFOD, Trocaire, Caritas Italiana, Caritas Australia, Caritas Switzerland/Luxembourg, Cordaid, CRS, Caritas Austria and representatives from Caritas Internationalis, including CI Humanitarian director Alistair Dutton and John Coughon. Caritas Kenya has mapped out the interventions by Catholic Agencies across the country, especially in areas worst hit by the drought. This has helped establish the gaps that exist in terms of interventions within the Church based actors as well by other humanitarian actors. The Kenya Episcopal Conference launched a local appeal on 28th July 2011 to all Dioceses, Congregations and people of good will to support humanitarian interventions in the most affected areas of the country. By 4th August 2011 the local appeal had raised over KSh. 100,000 (€ 770). Implementation strategies reflect best practice and lessons learned from a number of Caritas Kenya emergency responses in the past, including the 2007 flood response, the 2008 post election violence emergency response, the 2009 food insecurity emergency and the 2009 flood response. From these responses, Caritas Kenya has gained experience in the application of Sphere standards, community mobilization, aid coordination, and in utilizing the Caritas national network to improve approaches to food security and sustainable livelihoods within participating and other dioceses in the country. Of the fourteen dioceses that have been targeted in this EA, all except one ( Kitui ) have been involved in previous Caritas Kenya led Emergency responses. Sustainability The overall management of funds obtained shall be done by the Kenya Episcopal Conference - Catholic Secretariat, Finance Commission, with the added support of a Finance Officer seconded from another Caritas agency. This has been the strategy used in previous EA’s in which the CI MOs in Kenya provided capacity support for funds management, eg during the post election violence emergency interventions in 2008. The Diocesan Finance departments will be responsible for local finance management including the procurement. However, if situation(s) arise where the dioceses are unable to execute some elements of implementation, Caritas Kenya may step in to assist the Dioceses. An external audit shall be done at completion of project. All the Dioceses participating in this appeal shall submit their accounts to Caritas Kenya for verification and internal audit through the Caritas Kenya system of Finance, to be then further subjected to audit by an external auditor. The project has already secured an M&E Officer, who has been seconded from another Caritas agency for the first 3 months. This position will be transitioned into the recruitment of a national M&E officer, dedicated to this response for the remainder of the project and 2 months beyond its completion. This position will be dedicated to the design and implementation of a monitoring framework for the response, and will also assist with reporting. Specific issues for CAFOD monitoring The project has been designed to ensure that the emergency phase will transition well into an early rehabilitation stage, as the short rains are anticipated in October. The design of the project is based on the assumption that the rains in October will be fairly normal and with the provision of drought tolerant seeds and proper water harvesting measures, both agro-pastoralists and pastoralists will have adequate pasture and crop production. Restocking the two groups of agro-pastoralists and pastoralists with both traditional and improved breeds of goats and drought tolerant seeds will also support livelihood recovery. With improved pasture and crop production, and re-stocking of livestock, beneficiaries will be supported to re-engage in the livelihoods activities, of which local diocesan partners have been supporting communities over several years, as part of their development programs. Such long term livelihood activities aim at increasing production and hence building communities’ resilience. Cafod would like to intervene in specific areas in this proposal, which are Monitoring and Evaluation, Communication and Accountability mechanisms.

Most riverbeds have long-since dried up, and apart from relief agency-sponsored boreholes, there is no water. April and May are usually the long rains months for Turkana. This year, the rains have been sporadic and unpredictable. For most people of the region, livestock is a ‘living bank’ - a savings account with a cash value. In some parts of Turkana the drought has wiped out 70% of the livestock. For the affected families this means losing 70 % of their savings. In this scenario, many go bankrupt and whole lives are shattered. Up to 30 % of children aged under five in Turkana County are malnourished as a result of the prolonged drought. Assessment reports indicate a general increase in malnutrition rates in drought-affected districts throughout Kenya. As the drought has worsened, child malnutrition in some districts has gone critically over the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global acute malnutrition (GAM) critical threshold of 15 per cent. This shows the GAM levels exceeded the critical threshold in all of Turkana districts: Turkana North East 37.40 %, Turkana South and East 33.5 %, Turkana North West 27.80 %, Turkana Central and Loima 24.40 %. In addition, the under five crude mortality rate has reached more than the emergency threshold (2/10,000/day) in Turkana North West and North East with respectively 3.24 and 2.12 ; The crude mortality rate (adults and children) has reached more than the emergency threshold (1/10,000 /day) in Turkana North West and North East with respectively 2.13 and 2.42. Due to the drought, water and grazing land have become so precious that there has been an increase in the use of small arms to settle disputes over access to natural resources. Consequently, there has been a rise in armed conflict, especially along the border regions of Uganda, South Sudan and Ethiopia. Increasingly, the Turkana are resorting to using guns in their battle to preserve their way of life. Skirmishes over scarce watering holes, pasture and livestock are a part of daily life and lives are being lost and due to the insecurity, people are not able to freely access natural resources and sources of livelihood. The project intends to provide relief and protect livelihoods of highly insecure households in the Diocese of Lodwar.The key focus areas of the project include food security, livelihoods and water, sanitation and hygiene promotion. Livelihoods Inputs will assist in sustaining vulnerable households. This component includes the provision of seeds to 500 households and destocking of animals for 250 households as well as the provision of veterinary services to support livestock in the Diocese of Lodwar. Water for livestock will be provided through the rehabilitation and construction of water sources in the diocese of Lodwar through the cash and food for work.Advocacy and Education through the Diocese of Lodwar radio station, Radio Akicha. Topical issues relating to drought, nutrition, livelihoods and services available to local communities will be discussed and programmes will also be used to relay information in regards to other development actors and their role in ensuring that services reach people affected by the current drought.

This is a two year project targeting Kargi, Sololo (Walda), Hurri Hills and Dirib Gombo locations that are adversely affected by the impacts of recurrent and prolonged droughts. The project is targeting 5,300 drought-prone men and women living in the target locations. The Overall goal of the project is to build safer, resilient and sustainable communities in Kargi, Huri Hills, Sololo and Dirib Gombo in Marsabi tin the light of recurrent droughts. The project has three closely interrelated outcomes that include; improved community and partner capacity to effectively engage in drought preparedness and mitigation reduced crop losses due to drought and improved environmental conservation and sustainable management of natural resources. The Project will endeavour to promote community participation through establishing a complaints handling mechanism to enable target communities provide feedback on the progress of the proposed project and have project staff responding to their feedback in a constructive manner. The project will also mainstream HIV and AIDS and Gender through having gender considerations factored in during the beneficiary's selection processes and through awareness creation. The development of this project has been closely informed by a two year DRR pilot project that was implemented in the Diocese of Marsabit in 2009 to 2011. During the implementation of the pilot project, the Diocese of Marsabit realised the benefit of investing in DRR activities rather than focusing purely on emergency intervention programmes as far as reducing disaster losses and safeguarding the development gains realised through development programming.

It serves a population of 223,947 people. The area covered is arid and has been adversely affected by recurrent droughts leading to increasing levels of drought losses. To reduce the impact of recurrent droughts on target communities over the coming years, the Diocese of Maralal plans to implement a second phase of Disaster Risk Reduction Project titled, 'Community Climate Change Adaptation and Resilient Initiative". The proposed project is meant to address the main problem of the target communities' ability to predict, prepare for and mitigate the effects of the disasters. Due to the cyclical occurrences of drought related disasters, it has been difficult to realize long-term sustainable development in the target areas. This has been exacerbated by the fact that the community’s traditional ways of predicting, preparing for and mitigating the effects of disasters have been over ridden by modern methods as well as poor access to government services. The Community Climate Change Adaptation and Resilient Project Goal is to enhance target communities' resilience to hazards in Samburu North and Samburu Central to predict, prepare for, mitigate and develop positive coping mechanisms to the effects of drought by 2014. The project has six closely interrelated outcomes including: improved community and partner capacity to effectively engage in DRR and climate change work; improved awareness on climate change and environmental protection; improved access to potable water for human, livestock and agricultural use; improved hygiene and sanitation for target communities; and improved accessibility of target communities through construction of rural access roads. The proposed project will be implemented in two divisions of Lorroki and Baragoi and will target a total of 6,500 beneficiaries. In Lorroki the project will be implemented in Longewani, Amaiya, Logorate, Lolmolong and Malaso while in Baragoi the project will be implemented in Logetei and Ngilai.

In Somalia, the drought and ongoing conflict has reached a crisis level affecting over half of the population, and resulting in more than 250,000 Somalis leaving the country in 2011 alone in search of assistance. The resulting mass movement of rural Somalis to urban areas and across the border to Kenya and Ethiopia to seek relief in a relatively secure environment has put significant pressure on the already overcrowded refugee camps in Kenya. To contribute to improving the situation of refugees in these camps, Catholic Relief Services Kenya developed this two-year intervention. Caritas Internationalis is now launching this Appeal as a fourteen-month emergency response project (twelve months implementation, plus two months for preparation of final reports and audit), and we foresee the launch of a second Appeal for Year Two. The Refugee Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) Project will help drought-affected refugees in Kambioos Camp in Dabaab, Kenya to meet their immediate sanitation, hygiene, and water needs. CRS Kenya will meet the needs of 12,000 newly arrived refugee households (or 48,000 people, approximately 53% of the anticipated 90,000 population) who are currently in the process of relocating into Kambioos Camp by: -providing latrines/showers with hand-washing facilities, -promoting camp hygiene and sanitation with hygiene education and NFI hygiene kits for 12,000 households, -supporting solid waste disposal management and water drainage, -planning a contingency water supply as a back up to current plans, and -Ensuring its activities are accountable to the people it is serving. By implementing the above activities, CRS envisions the following results: -Drought-affected refugees use sanitation facilities and services daily -Drought-affected refugees demonstrate key hygiene behaviours for hand-washing, water handling, and latrine use -Drought-affected refugees actively engage in the response -Drought-affected refugees have safe and sufficient water for household useCatholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Catholic Relief Services, East Africa Office, KenyaCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk326000.0000326000.0000CAFOD General Funds326000.0000Catholic Relief Services, East Africa Office, KenyaGB-CHC-285776-KEN660CAFODAfter having been severely affected by the drought in Kenya, vulnerable communities in the county of Kitui are now in need of support to enable them to recover and build their resilience to future irregular weather patterns and other shocks. Communities still remain in significant need: in April 2011 an ACF SMART survey of Mwingi and Kitui districts in Kitui Country showed that Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) in Mwingi was 6.5% while Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) was 0.9% and there was one case of 0.1% oedema. GAM in Kitui was at 10.2% and SAM was at 1.5%. The District Nutrition Official reported on November 25th that increasing intakes to specialist feeding programmes indicate that nutrition levels continue to decline, and are expected to continue to do so until the first crops of protein rich pulses are ready in December. The Diocese of Kitui, CAFOD’s partner in the region, will focus its response in Kyatune in Kitui and Muumoni in Mwingi. The communities of Kitui have traditionally raised livestock, though there has been a trend towards agriculturalism, spreading outwards from the urban centre, as conditions for pastoralists have become harsher. Assisting communities to find sustainable livelihoods in the context of irregular weather patterns, changing practices in land ownership and increasingly urbanized economies is essential to building community resilience to shock. Kyatune is a semi-arid marginal agricultural area in the northern highlands with only sand beds and no permanent river, which has struggled with repeated failed rains. Located close to Kitui Central, it has high poverty levels, high levels of malnutrition and stunting and a high prevalence of HIV. Communities rely less on large livestock as landholdings are smaller but the short rains have been erratic and insufficient to establish crops. Rains have only just started and are late and light, and local knowledge suggests they will finish early. In the last six months, CAFOD’s partners have been providing emergency relief to communities through cash transfers to support household food security, as successive crop failures and price rises have burdened communities with a myriad of problems related to malnutrition. Hospitalisation of children suffering from malnutrition and disease as result of suppressed immunity has the effect of withdrawing caretakers from valuable economic activities. There has been increasing need for special diets which many households cannot afford because of low income. Muumoni is semi-arid and sparsely populated by communities of marginal mixed farmers who rely more on livestock rearing. Roads are poor and the Diocese of Kitui is the only agency offering long-term assistance in this remote and hard to access area. The Government of Kenya has provided support in the form of livestock off-take, targeted at 50% of stocks, to relieve stress on pasture, while income has been significantly reduced as families have sold animals at low prices. Here also the seed system collapsed, and CAFOD’s partner has responded by providing cash transfers to increase food purchasing power, along with seed distributions to ensure the planting season was not missed. Rains began in mid-October and thus far crops appear to be thriving. Supporting rapid recovery and accelerating production is even more vital in these two areas given the elections planned for December 2012. This coincides with peak harvest time when the long rains fall in Kyatune and Muumoni and electioneering is liable to disrupt normal farming patterns.

In February 2011, a Government of Kenya - led assessment teams comprising U.N. and NGO representatives recorded a global acute malnutrition rate of 18.7 per cent in Samburu District, exceeding the U.N. World Health Organization emergency threshold of 15 per cent. The Diocese of Maralal conducted an emergency project in the area which mainly centred on provision of food aid and construction of water sources.

It is one of Kenya's Arid counties located in Eastern Province. The County has a population of 291,166. The main livelihood activities in Marsabit are Pastoral and agro-pastoral which account for 70% and 20% respectively. Livestock and livestock products are a predominant source of food and income to households. Most parts of the County other than Marsabit town chronically experience water scarcity and food insecurity due to frequent drought, recurrent livestock disease outbreaks, poor market and road infrastructure, insecurity from cross boarder raiding and resource based conflicts. In 2010 Marsabit, experienced its worst drought in many years due to failure of the long rains in April and scanty rains in preceding years. As a result both water and grazing fields for animals vanished and cattle prices reduced drastically. This led to deterioration of nutrition status particularly children requiring supplementation of protein rich food sources and the problem was exacerbated by a worldwide rise in food prices with the price of grain in affected areas being 30-80% above average. In many parts of Marsabit, up to 75 percent of the pastoralist’s herds perished. Animal prices plummeted since the surviving ones had become very emanciated while the cost of cereals soared. Malnutrition rates stood at mean of 27 %. After humanitarian assessment and lobbying by UN and other humanitarian agencies working in the region followed by media attention in the draught situation at the Horn and East African region where Marsabit lies, humanitarian agencies responded to the crisis with such programmes as food distribution, water trucking, Blanket supplementary feeding, cash for work programmes etc. Cafod responded to the crisis through the diocese of Marsabit. The situation has so far changed since and some rains fell as early as September filling some dams (e.g Kargi in Marsabit). The greatest rains however fell in the months of October and November and the first week of December. This has provided reprieve to the surviving livestock since the grazing pastures have recovered with grass. The larger human population however still remains vulnerable since it will still take at least 6 months to produce dependable food even with the rains. The pastoralist community also largely depends on livestock for their livelihood and food but only a few herd of livestock remained after most of it perished with the draught. Milk and food prices are still high in Marsabit. The interventions by the Catholic Diocese of Marsabit in its drought response included cash for work for rehabilitation and desalting of water pans with the aim of providing an income to the affected community so that they could purchase food locally and the second aim being to increase the water storage. Three of the planned water pans are now complete and already filled with water as a result of the rains. The diocese also partnered with WFP to provide a BSFP programme in the affected region mainly through the diocese medical centres. The proposed project will build on gains made during the emergency draught response by enhancing the resilience of the communities affected by the drought through supporting livelihoods of vulnerable groups, contributing to enhancing ongoing DRR programme and nutrition intervention and education with introduction of kitchen gardens.

Women’s contribution to the economy has been grossly unrecognized, a factor which has led to ineffective development of policies since in actual sense women perform 2/3 of the workload. The Catholic Church in Kenya did an evaluation on its Women and Gender Development programme (WGDP) in 2003.The report identified gender mainstreaming as a cross cutting issue in development. It was realized that there can be no meaningful development without addressing the pressing gender concerns. The Kenya Episcopal conference adopted the churh gender policy in November 2011.This landmark policy,though not to the standard of any good gender policy is a pointer of the positive steps that the Catholic church in Kenya is willing to engender its programmes.It is also the first policy of its kind. The proposal therefore seeks to clearly identify and bridge the gender disparities in understanding and in programme implementation by the Catholic church . Alongside this the proposal seeks to support CARITAS Kenya to push roll out the gender policy document for the Kenya Catholic church and to fund CARITAS Kenya to do gender training in three pilot dioceses. The project shall amongs many other things:- • Undertake a gender audit in two dioceses in order to contextualize and recommend to the church the gaps and opportunities available in each diocese being mindfull of the cultural sensitivities in these dioceses as well as bring out lessons that can move forward the engerndering of projects within our partners as well as allighning to tthe organization’s gender global strategy. • To Lobby the Kenya Episcopal conference, through the more open minded Bishops to support CARITAS initiative in rolling out the gender strategy. • Support CARITAS Kenya to carry out gender trainings and mentoring in three pilot dioceses in Kenya,carrry out exchange visits,develop a gender audit checklist and carry out women and girls specific trainings. • CAFOD to build / strengthen the capacity of its partners on gender as a contribution to gender compliance. • CAFOD, CARITAS and funded partners participate in the 16 days of activism against violence against women for the first time. • Have a learning meeting of all the CAFOD gender network meeting in Nairobi to evaluate the mainstreaming of gender amongst partners and within CAFOD. The initiative has identified Gender, Environment and sustainable Development (GESD) based on its experience of working with the Catholic church on gender issues to help carry out the gender audit and the TOT trainings in the dioceses.

As set in Agenda four, the reform processes has realized new laws passed in the form of a new constitution. The major setback is continued citizenry and voter apathy, lack of strong public engagement in the Constitution implementation processes and subsequent political processes including upcoming elections - this has become the major challenge in Kenya. The processes is further complicated by new electoral laws and electoral reforms as Kenya moves closer to the next general elections. The passivity of citizens will impact negatively on electoral reforms and validation of the election results. Citizens and political aspirants are gearing up for elections based on the county system. As a result some counties are polarized as ethnic identity and perceptions are playing a major role in the quest for county leadership and political positions. This is an indication of high possibility of violence. The project is focusing on these strategic areas in view of supporting free and fair elections; - Stronger public engagement in political processes towards 2012/13 elections - Working towards peaceful elections processes with an acceptable outcome in 2012/13 Governance and Democracy Programme within Catholic Justice and Peace Commission will anchor the project. The project will be carried out in six dioceses of Marsabit, Isiolo, Maralal, Mombasa and Malindi for community based activities. Some of the activities will include carrying out intensive civil campaigns, development of a simplified version for Constitutional Education during diocesan workshops and disseminating this information throughout the established church structures and communities. Election oberservers will be trained and a monitoring report shared with stakeholders. This is a twelve month project from May 2012 to May 2013.

The programme will also sensitise the citizens to eschew conflicts: Nairobi County, which has been known to be a serious flashpoint of post-elections violence in the Slums of Kibera, Mathera, Dandora will be targeted by the project which will as well utilse the Radio Waumini settlite and sister radios, such as Radio Amani, Radio Akichar,Radio Maria and Waumini Kitui. Every week, we will allocate airtime to enable the listeners be empowered on their rights and responsibility on Elections laws, ensuring that people in the slums, women and youth are able to response through calls and Text messages. The programme also intends to sensitise to the leaders to be accountable in elections and also educate them on elections laws for the purpose of observing the very laws. Radio Waumini work closely with the Civil Society organizations and Catholic Justice and Peace Commission for expertise on elections Acts 2011, devolved government including counties on elections processes. Church leaders who are listeners to our programme will continue spreading the messages to the faithful for peaceful elections and advocating for leaders to be accountable on elections and at all times addressing issues affecting people in the slums, women and youth.

On one hand, there are great opportunities for active citizen leadership, good governance, and promotion of human rights; while on the other, as a society in transition, the threats of ethnic intolerance and tribal affiliations are real. Jesuit Hakimani Centre is proposing to script, produce, and if possible broadcast a TV series to be entitled The Librarian aimed at sensitizing grassroots communities and leaders at the County level on understanding and embracing social diversities as enshrined in the new Constitution. This is only possible if people develop constructive debates. The drama will include: o Scripting and production , o Screening at County level for public debate, o TV broadcast (if and when possible) The project is expected to directly reach 3000 – 5000 grassroots community leaders at the end of the implementation period (just before the general elections are held in March 2013. However, a large audience is expected to be reached through a TV broadcast (if budget allows). The Librarian Series will emphasize: • The social impact of diversity; • Strategies of social dialogue: self-identity, authority, inter-subjective relationships and ‘the other’; • Social conflict analysis strategies; • Upholding national values as written in the new Constitution Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)The Jesuit Hakimani CentreCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk15708.000015708.0000CAFOD General Funds15708.0000The Jesuit Hakimani CentreGB-CHC-285776-KEN671CAFODThe Kenya Episcopal conference has started a three year ambitious project geared towards a peaceful general elections in Kenya. Broadly, the project aims at sensitizing Christians on elections, peace, governance and how they relate to the social teaching of the Church,drawn from the pastoral Letter of 1998 titled Catholic Justice and Peace Commission. The“Conflict Prevention and Peaceful Elections in Kenya”. The project aims at achieving four main strategic goals, that is: • Stronger public engagement in the constitution gains and implementation processes • Peaceful Kenya’s General Elections • To have in place a reliable system of validating electoral processes. The project will carry out four forums will bring together all the 26 Catholic Church bishops to guide the Civic Education program. The Kenya Episcopal Conference will facilitate three one-day Inter-religious Forums to discuss strategies to strengthen the constitution implementation processes. Brings on board Bishops advocacy committee quarterly meeting on strategies and networking to peacefull elections.

CAFOD Partners, The Catholic diocese of Kitui, Isiolo, Marsabit and Mararal have in the past initiated a number of projects funded by CAFOD and other partners. A big portion of the projects have gone into provision of water for human and livestock consumption. Most of the water facilities are provided through boreholes, water pans and rock catchments. Whereas rock catchments and boreholes may provide clean drinking water if hygienically maintained, the earth dams provided have no facilities to provide clean drinking water for human consumption. Some of the boreholes provided are of high salinity especially in Kargi, Marsabit and there is speculation that they contain heavy metals that can cause diseases. Most of the project beneficiaries are pastoralists. The coverage of latrines is very low in the community and due to open defecation; there is likelihood of contamination of the water sources. Due to low levels of education in the community, hygiene awareness is very low. The project aims at increasing accessibility of sufficient potable water to the community while at the same time addressing the need for safe defecation through Community Led total Sanitation programme which aims at sensitizing the community to construct their own latrines with no material support. The project also aims at sensitizing the community in safe hygiene through simple messages on safe water (drinking only from safe water source or home treatment), safe defecation and hand washing at critical times. The project further aims at carrying out a gender analysis and sensitizing the community leaders on gender roles and women participation with the aim of having active women leadership in the committees. The project therefore aims to address the following mach fund outcome indicators: -number of men and women reporting access to safe drinking water, -number of women and men reporting access to sanitation facilities, -number of women and men of targeted beneficiaries demonstrating good hygiene practice, -number of women engaged in WASH and environmental management committees reporting increased opportunity and confidence in decisions affecting access to and safe use of household and/or community resources such as water -CAFOD partners showing evidence of gender analysis throughout the project cycle and using sex disaggregated data in monitoring and reporting.

The project is twofold, one is sensitization of faith leaders on how to address the challenge of growing religious suspicion and a new wave of religious fundamentalism, and manage the engagement with political leaders from this region on addressing the historical injustices and two, setting up of an interfaith team to monitor, gather information and distil it for advocacy. The project aims to build safe and supportive networks for inter-faith dialogue and conversation of faiths. The project targets religious leaders in the Archdiocese of Mombasa. The project will include: o Inter-faith conferences, o Dialogue circles among faith communities, o Joint inter-faith services, o Emergency preparedness in view of upcoming elections Archdiocese of Mombasa through its Justice and Peace Com will promote tolerance by working with religious leaders through the Coast Interfaith Council of Clerics (CICC), District Peace Committees (DPCs) and other influential community leaders. CJPC will build the capacity of these groups in early warning and early response, peace building and conflict management (PBCM) and alternative dispute resolution (ADR) skills in five (5) flash point areas prone to violence and negative ethnicity within Kilifi, Kwale and Mombasa counties. The enhanced capacity will enable the selected religious leaders, DPCs and community opinion leaders serve as peace ambassadors and spearhead dialogue forums and community outreach activities between different communities within the identified flash point areas. With regard to objective two, Caritas Mombasa will train teams of respected and committed community members on incident debriefing as well as psycho-social support. It is expected that we shall have able persons to provide community-friendly counselling services and attend focus group discussions (FGDs) in order to identify cases that need psycho-social support and where possible support them or refer them using the referral systems set. Tentative proposed areas include Likoni, Majengo, Kisauni (Mombasa County), Ukunda (Kwale) Kipini (Tana River) and Kaloleni (Kilifi). The exact localities will be mapped out after final consultations with Ecumenical leaders and District Peace committee members. The estimated number of program beneficiaries is about 5,000 people.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Archdiocese of Mombasa CAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk30000.000030000.0000CAFOD General Funds30000.0000Archdiocese of Mombasa GB-CHC-285776-KEN676CAFODThe purpose of the project is to promote sustainable food and nutrition security of Bidii community by use of ecological farming techniques. Although Kitale has generally been a highly agricultural potential region continous use of ianppropriate farming techniques mainly us eof chemicals, environmental degradation, land subdivision as a result of population explosion has led to reduced food production leaving most poor hosueholds especially slum dwellers and small farm holders food insecure. OTEPIC has been working with these poor communites for over two years supporting ecological farming and other livelihood support activities for the community to ensure improved access to food and other basic necessities. Over the period OTEPIC has been able together with the community to identify the essential needs for Bidii community in order to attain sustainable food security and has designed a project that wiill focus on capacity building of the community in appropritate and sustainable food production methods.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Organisation Technology Extension and Promotion of Initiative CentreCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk30000.000030000.0000CAFOD General Funds30000.0000Organisation Technology Extension and Promotion of Initiative CentreGB-CHC-285776-KEN677CAFODThe aim of this multi-sector project is to enhance the food security of marginalised communities in Isiolo district, Isiolo county.

CAFOD in partnership with GESD has supported Catholic Diocesan Gender Mainstreaming Programme (CDGP) for the past five years. This programme comes to an end by end of July 2017. Gender Environment and Sustainable Development (GESD) has built on key outcomes of gender audit and mentored CAFOD Implementing partners to mainstream gender in their projects. Key objectives was to analyse the level of gender awareness and inclusiveness in programmes for the Catholic Dioceses of Kitui, Maralal, Isiolo and the Archdiocese of Mombasa. Ways in which gender programmes and projects can be integrated in mainstream programmes at the diocesan level have since been documented; and studies conducted to recommend ways in which community mechanisms can tackle gender based violence and gender stereotypes with respect to specific social cultural circumstances in the dioceses. The extent to which mainstreaming gender in programmes and ensuring vulnerable groups are protected with regard to gender based violence is now evidenced in projects of the supported Implementing partners. This final approval therefore seeks to support GESD to build a cohesive, comprehensive and sustainable exit strategy that will support key gender mainstreaming activities at diocesan level and at GESD level as an organization. The wrap up will ensure GESD efficiently manages community based activities and plans for a responsible organisational programme closure prior to CAFOD phase out scheduled for October 2017 Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Gender Environment and Sustainable DevelopmentCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk18876.432715000.000013613.982320000.00005668.841718876.4327CAFOD General Funds15000.0000CAFOD General Funds13613.9823CAFOD General Funds20000.0000CAFOD General Funds5668.8417CAFOD General Funds18876.4300Gender Environment and Sustainable Development15000.0000Gender Environment and Sustainable Development13613.9800Gender Environment and Sustainable Development20000.0000Gender Environment and Sustainable Development5668.8400Gender Environment and Sustainable DevelopmentGB-CHC-285776-KEN679CAFODThis project aims to achieve the following outcomes: more women and men in the semi arid land community of Kitui Kenya, influence the local decisions and practices that improve sustainable access, control, management and safe use of water resource assets; gain access to clean water; and practice safe environmental sanitation and hygiene behaviours. The project will benefit 9009 individuals. CAFOD partner, the Catholic dioceses of Kitui have previously implemented projects funded by CAFOD and other donors. Most of the projects have a component of provision of water for human and livestock consumption culminating in the construction of water facilities such as water pans and sand dams. Whereas sand dams constructed are likely to provide clean drinking water if hygienically maintained, the earth dams have no facilities to provide clean drinking water for human consumption. Within the same communities the coverage of latrines is very low and due to open defecation there is a likelihood of contamination of water sources.

Success stories especially from the Public Health Department in Kitui following the CLTS approach have informed the planning of the sanitation component of this project. The project further aims at sensitizing the community on safe hygiene through simple messages on safe water (drinking only from a safe water source or home treatment), safe defecation and hand washing at critical times. The project will also utilise existing gender audits/gender analysis to review the gender roles of men and women, boys and girls in the community with the aim of ultimately sensitizing community leaders on gender roles and women/girls participation, and increase women’s leadership in WASH and environmental management committees. The sensitization will be built on existing gender activities being carried out by the partners. This project aims to achieve the following Match Funds outcome indicators: • Number of men and women, reporting access to safe drinking water, • Number of women and men reporting access to sanitation facilities, • Number of women and men demonstrating good hygiene practices. • Number of women engaged in WASH and environmental management committees reporting increased opportunities to participate in decisions affecting access to, and safe use of, household and/or community resources such as water. CAFOD’s partners will show evidence of both women’s and men’s participation throughout the project cycle and use gender disaggregated data in monitoring and reporting. Gender analysis will look at the roles of men, women, boys and girls, and how gender relations affect access and management of WASH facilities and initiatives, with a view of sensitizing the community on the participation of each gender in the project. The programme will use existing gender audits that are currently being carried out by a consultant under the CAFOD-supported Governance programme. These will also inform the work schedule and other project activities so that the distinctive needs of women and girls will be included in the programme design and activities. Examples include time of working and time of meetings to ensure women have time for their young ones and meetings are organized in such a way that it does not result in women and girls walking in the darkness. Separate consultations with each gender will also ensure women are not dominated by men in contribution to discussions.

The Catholic Diocese of Kitui covers an approximated arid and semi-arid area of 30,142 Km² out of which 6,903 Km² is occupied by Tsavo East National Park. It has a population of around 1.09 million people. The Catholic Diocese of Kitui is currently within 16 Government administrative districts. The region is situated within the vast arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya characterized by harsh climatic conditions and resultant frequent and prolonged drought events. Due to limited rainfall received in the district, water resources are scarce and are composed of seasonal rivers that form during rainy seasons and immediately dry up after the rains. Although a major water source, the Athi and Tana Rivers are the only perennial rivers found within Diocese limits and flow along the border with Machakos to the West and Tharaka to the North. Several water pans and dams also supply water and are supplemented byGround water sources (boreholes, wells and springs) that are found in hilly areas. However, the ground water supplies are also insufficient since some have low yields and others high salinity. Although the water facilities are many, most are poorly maintained and unreliable and dry up during dry seasons leaving households without adequate supplies for domestic and livestock use. Poor rainfall has led to inadequate recharge of water sources leading to an ever shrinking reserve for an increasing population. Nearly 90% of households in the region do not have access to clean water points and those who do, trek an average of 5 Kms to get to the nearest water sources. The climate of the district is arid and semi-arid with very erratic and unreliable rainfall. Most of the areas are generally hot and dry leading to high rate of evaporation. Deforestation has increased risk of disasters, a situation the diocese is at presently where the recurrence of droughts and other disasters has been increasing in frequency. The implementation of this project is intended to improve food security, enhance livelihoods and increase access to clean water to 628 households within Muvitha/Kathemboni/Syomuunyu areas of Yatta District. This translates to 1592 males and 1718 females making a total population of 3310 individuals who are set to benefit from the project. 375 boys and 615 girls within the schools in this area shall also benefit from this project. More funds will be solicited for the project in order to go beyond the two years so that the whole catchment area can be reached. This will bring the total population reached to 8275 individuals (1659 households), 3981 men and 4294 women. The implementation of this - project is meant to offer lessons which would later be utilized in the initiation of similar interventions within the diocese. Water scarcity in the project area affects women more than men since it is they who have the responsibility of providing it. This project is intended to lessen the burden for the women who will now have more time to work in their farms and take care of their families. Children who often miss school to assist their parents in the search for water may now have the opportunity to attend school without interruptions. Enhanced hygiene and sanitation practices adoption is expected to lead to reduction in cases of water borne diseases, hence improved health for the community. Adoption of good environmental management practices is expected to increase productivity and improve conservation leading to sustainable utilization of current resources. In the long term it is anticipated that these practices will go a long way in sensitizing the community about the dangers of over-exploitation of the natural resources. Regeneration is not automatic but a responsibility of the communities concerned to put in place measures to ensure that resources used are always done bearing in mind that measures to regenerate the same are adopted. This is expected to be done through the empowerment and capacity building of the, Natural Resource Management Committees (NRMC). The committees will be responsible for management of the water facilities and they will also act as the drivers for the conservation practices. This is one sure way of ensuring sustainability in that the community themselves would be driving their own change in ways that they understand and address problems that are clear to them.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Diocese of KituiCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk98050.0000108476.000098050.0000CAFOD General Funds108476.0000CAFOD General Funds98050.0000Diocese of Kitui108476.0000Diocese of KituiGB-CHC-285776-KEN681CAFODThis project aims to achieve the following outcomes: more women and men in the arid land community of Maralal Kenya, influence the local decisions and practices that improve sustainable access, control, management and safe use of water resource assets; gain access to clean water; and practice safe environmental sanitation and hygiene behaviours.

The poor in the these settlements have continued to bear the brunt of the burden brought about by poor investment in the water sector and diminishing fresh water availability in the country due to a myriad of factors including climate change. The WHO/UNICEF JMP report (2012) indicates that by 2010, 59% of the population in Kenya had access to an improved water source. However this comprised 52% in rural areas and 82% in urban. While in urban areas 82% of the population has access to an improved water source, only 45% has source piped into the premise and 37% sources water out of the premise. With regard to sanitation, the report shows that 32% of the population in rural Kenya used improved sanitation facilities while 21% used unimproved ones or didn’t have one. In urban areas, 32 % had access to ‘improved’ sanitation facilities and 48% shared. Furthermore, according to a World Bank report on water and sanitation(2012) , Kenya loses Sh27 billion each year due to poor sanitation, and 21 million Kenyans, more than half the population, use unsanitary or shared latrines while 5.6 million others have no latrines at all and are forced to defecate in the open. According to the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, the sanitation coverage for urban areas is 68% and for rural areas is 28% and about 50% of water borne illnesses is related to poor sanitation and hygiene. On the other hand, Kenya is rapidly urbanizing and the proportion of the population in urban areas is expected to reach 50% by 2030 although according to the GOK census, 2009, about 33%(12.5 m) of the population dwell in urban areas. According to the UNDP indicator data base, 55% of the urban population live in informal settlements. Most of the urban areas, especially the smaller towns do not have well equipped infrastructure to support the growing population. Much as the statistics look good for urban areas, water supply is unequally distributed in the low income areas (slums and peri-urban settlements) per capita water coverage is very low and the demand far outstrips the supply. Due to lack of connectivity, many of the slums have survived with illegal connections on the outskirts of the settlements. Often the quality of these illegal connections is poor and prone to leakages hence contamination. Furthermore, this water ends up in the hands of private vendors who sell it exorbitantly (up to 20 ($0.23) shillings/20 litres of water). This is more than three or more times the tariff that is charged by the water companies. The options for solid waste disposal in Kenya are very limited, and many people resort to burning or dumping their rubbish in open areas or drains. Poor people have even more limited options as they cannot afford to use private collection agencies which have come in to supplement the overwhelmed city councils. Many of the residents without latrines in the slums use “flying toilets” as a mode of faecal matter disposal. This combined with reckless disposal of other forms of household waste results in clogged drains, littered and hazardous environment that exacerbates spread of diseases Inadequate water coupled with poor sanitation has been responsible for the prevalence of water-borne or sanitation-related diseases that make up the majority of the morbidity rates in these areas. The most common instances of disease in include respiratory system infections and diarrhoea and intestinal worms. Therefore the proposed project aims to improve water and sanitation accessibility in Bangladesh informal settlement located in Mombasa. The proposed program adopts a multi-dimensional approach which has the following aspects: increased access to improved water supply through installation of water points providing portable water; improved sanitation through implementation of waterborne toilets; adoption of hygienic practices through hygiene promotion activities; environmental sanitation promotion through solid waste management, particularly by recycling waste and; capacity building which will entail developing sustainable community project management structures. Delivery of this program will involve active participation of beneficiaries (Bangladesh community) in all stages of project cycle, selected beneficiaries representatives will also be taken through a need driven capacity building process to enhance program results.

A key component in this project is the building of community assets, such as access roads through Cash for Work activities; hence opening access to the region for borehole construction as well as other essential goods and services. To improve access to clean drinking water, the project will construct and equip a borehole at Lchakwai, Samburu East to serve an estimated 2,600 community members. The community in Lchakwai was involved in the HVCA and the water project was identified as the community priority. However due to infrastructural challenges, it was not possible constructed the planned borehole Lack of access meant that the activity could not take place, and needed to be redesigned to take into account accessibility of the area. The repair of the Lchakwai access road and construction of a borehole will enable the community members’ access portable water and reduce the distance walked and time spent in search of water To diversify livelihood options, the project will promote green house farming technology among target communities. Three green houses will be provided to farmer groups and will result in two key changes; first the groups practicing green house farming will have an alternative source of income as they sell the produce and secondly there will be access to an improved and diversified diet as vegetables become available for household consumption. The green house farming is appropriate for women as they often have no means of earning a livelihood as men are primarily engaged with livestock. Women also go to markets and they identified a gap in the supply of vegetables, as many people do not engage in farming of vegetables.

The name of the project is Muvitha/Kathemboni water shed management aimed at restoration of the catchment which has been degraded over time due poor land use management. Cultivation in steep slopes is evident which would have otherwise been left undisturbed with only trees growing to intercept rainwater and allow it time for water to percolate in the soil and also build up humus. Conservation efforts have been attempted but only when the hills were productive but now signs of neglect have manifested. At the foot of the hills are farms which are still being tilled and whose conservation needs to be strengthened. Within the catchment, there is an earth dam, named Musosya that was constructed in the year 2003 and has silted up due to poor management of land use. During the earth dam construction, there was a perennial flowing stream of water in the main gully that feeds the dam. The situation has since changed and the stream no longer flows and the flow in the gulley’s feeding the dam is only from storm water during the rainy season. Over the years there has been widening of the gully and many more gully tributaries have emerged, gully banks are slumping, widening the stream further and sand accumulation in the main gully has started a sign of mature water course. The silt trap pond that had been made just before the inlet to the dam has been filled with sand, The inlet pat of the dam has also been filled with sand to almost 2m estimated from a tree that was present during the construction of the dam. The tree has been filled by sand to the first branch level. The Water Shed Management project is based on a concept of Land Retention Landscape from Tamera in Portugal that advocates for total retention of storm water run off within a water shed.

The project aims to take stock of the emerging trends in massive land dealings involving government-to-government, government to multinationals and local land grabbing to lease or sell that are mostly not used for agricultural activities making countries susceptible to food insecurity. In Uganda, access to land and land ownership are critical concerns It has three phases; first, research in Kenya and Uganda, second, a national conference in each country to extrapolate policy issues and disseminate the findings, and sensitize more people on the intensity of the problem, and thirdly, advocacy and lobby for policy formulation and change. As a result there will be close working relationship and collaboration with National Catholic Commission on Justice and Peace and Community Resource Network in Uganda, Catholic Justice and Peace Commission in Kenya. Project Objectives: 1. To increase public awareness on farm land grabbing and ownership in Kenya and Uganda; 2. To sensitize the religious institutions, government and nongovernmental organizations and the public in Kenya and Uganda on the latest trends and dynamics on land use and allocation and how it affects small scale farmers 3. To build the capacity of faith-based organisations for policy analysis and advocacy on behalf of small-scale farmers 4.

In 2014, AMECEA conducted a study entitled “Righting the Injustices in the Extractive Industry”. In The study found that most potential mine sites in the region are found in places where the poor live, and they are mostly indigenous peoples but they do not benefit from the wealth beneath their land, they do not adequately and meaningfully participate in decision making process relating to exploration and extraction of minerals within their regions and existing legal frameworks are not responsive to the needs of these communities. This project has been designed to respond to the recommendations of the study and will focus on building structures at the community level through the church structures to facilitate community sensitization on the mining and extractives sector and raising their capacity to participate in decision making processes on exploration and extraction of minerals. The project will form regional networks of CSO and hold regions reflection forums to deliberate with duty bearers the pertinent questions of transparency and accountability within the mining and extractives sector. AMECEA will work with national justice and peace commissions of Kenya and Uganda. Core project areas include coordinate regional reach national advocacy campaigns on mining, comprehensive and independent review of existing mining legislation and bills before parliament that are considered inconsistent with Kenya and Uganda’s Constitutions, international human rights principles and have an impact on access to land rights and justice and will facilitate stakeholder discussions on the findings of legislative audits and recommend appropriate amendments to parliaments. The project will cover Kenya and Uganda. Intervention will be implemented at the national level in collaboration with the national bishops’ conference and the national justice and peace commissions. At the diocesan level, the project will work through the diocesan justice and peace commissions. In Kenya, the project will focus on Kwale, Kitui and Lamu counties while in Uganda, the Project will focus on Gulu and Hoima districts.

St.Johns Sports Society (SSS) based at St. John's sub - parish of Kariobangi has worked with communities of Korogocho slums in Nairobi for over 20 years. In this project, SSS proposes to take forward and consolidate the gains of the partnership it has had with CAFOD since 2008 in supporting communities in Korogocho mainly through Sports, arts and cultural performances aimed at mobilizing youth towards constructive use of their skills and talents for justice and peace. For the next three years, SSS will continue recruiting youths into the various sporting teams. These sports teams are strategically the change agents within Korogocho slums. The team members will be organised and capacity built on advocacy on Peace Building and Advocacy skills. A representation of selected team members will be built and will be engaged as Community Education and Leadership teams though advocacy on governance, justice and peace building. These teams will particularly be involved in public expenditure monitoring (monitoring of public resources allocation and utilisation) and civic education. Further, media programmes (electronic and print) will be used as a strategy for public awareness and advocacy. Realizing the poverty levels of the communities in Korogocho, SSS will identify and support members of its sports teams annually to undertake vocational trainings.

According to the National AIDS Control Council survey report (2011) Homa Bay County’s HIV and AIDS profile indicates prevalence of 27.1%, in comparison to a national prevalence of 5.6%. As a result community members have experienced high child mortality rates; an increase in orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) and child-headed households; an increase in the number of dependants per guardian; and reduced food production and access to food. Despite the high number of NGOs and government agencies intervening in the region, none of them are directly focusing on the food requirements of vulnerable groups. The communities do not have diversified sources of income and are instead confined to limited varieties of staple food crops of maize, beans and sorghum. In response to these vulnerabilities Caritas Homa Bay plans to establish 60 Agro-Enterprise Development Groups (AEDGs) and 21 young farmer clubs, through which: - crop diversification and small ruminants will be promoted and increased; - resource mobilisation skills for the 6000 households through Savings and Internal Lending Communities (SILCs) and a collective marketing approach will be enhanced.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Catholic Diocese of Homa BayCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk20000.000030000.000030000.000030000.000020000.0000CAFOD General Funds30000.0000CAFOD General Funds30000.0000CAFOD General Funds30000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000Catholic Diocese of Homa Bay30000.0000Catholic Diocese of Homa Bay30000.0000Catholic Diocese of Homa Bay30000.0000Catholic Diocese of Homa BayGB-CHC-285776-KEN694CAFODThe Catholic Diocese of Mombasa (CAM) Integrated Food Security Programme (IFSP) will be implemented in Kisauni and Lungalunga Sub counties of Mombasa and Kwale Counties respectively. In Kisauni Sub County, the project will be implemented in six sub locations namely Junda, Kisauni, Magogoni, Kongowea, Bamburi and Maweni; while in Lungalunga Sub county it will be in seven sub locations ; Vanga, Jego, Sega, Kiwegu, Kasemeni, Kilimangodo and Mwena. The proposed IFS programme is targeting to reach a total of 1,500 direct beneficiaries (750 males and 750 females) and 6,000 indirect beneficiaries (2250 males and 3750 females). Each direct beneficiary will reach out to 5 indirect beneficiaries in Kisauni and 3 indirect beneficiaries in Lungalunga. The programme will target the food poor, who are among vulnerable House Holds (HHs) such as People living with and affected by HIV, Orphan and Vulnerable Children (OVC), Child headed HH, Female HH, People with Disabilities (PWD), elderly persons, Drug users, sex workers, HHs that did not cultivate in the last 2 seasons, livestock keepers, agro pastoralist farmers, unskilled youth out of school, youth in school (clubs in school) and terminally ill people. The overall goal of CAM IFSP is to promote food security for 250 and 1500 food poor beneficiaries (households and individual) through improved food security, income levels and health status in Kisauni and Lunga lunga programme areas by March 2018. This programme seeks to address some factors that contribute to food and income insecurity among the targeted HHs through an integrated approach focusing on livestock and crop production, HIV and AIDs prevention as well as income generating activities. Training in the proposed programme will mainly be done through Community Resource Persons (CRP), Field Agents (FAs) and Community Health Workers (CHWs). A Participatory Community Needs assessment was conducted in, 2013 through CAM and CAFOD partnership to inform the project design. This was done in order to gather in-depth information on the causes of food insecurity, aimed at identifying and evaluating factors contributing to food insecurity and determining other integrated needs of the communities living within Lunga lunga and Kisauni sub counties. According to the findings, key factors contributing to food insecurity identified were: prolonged drought, erratic rainfall, poor methods of farming, community factors contributing to HIV infection (weddings, seasonal dances) and low household income. This IFS programme will work with individuals and groups within target communities to increase crop and livestock production levels through sustainable agriculture principles and practices as a strategy. Various approaches shall be used to achieve this such as Farmers Field schools (demonstration farms), farmers open days, exchange visits, field based trainings and institutional workshops. On HIV and AIDs, formation of community units, open community HIV sensitization meetings, HIV stakeholders meetings. In order to improve HHs income levels, training on income generation shall be carried out through field agents. The three year programme will be implemented over a period of 36 months commencing May 2015 to April 2018.

Two sand dams will be constructed along the river bed to trap water during the rainy season, and a reservoir to store the water. The project will also establish 8 demonstration plots at the project site. Groups of women and youth will be trained and provided with start-up inputs to enable them establish the demonstration plots. It is anticipated that crop farming using the available water will increase, and offer the community an alternative source of food. Lack of water for agriculture was identified during the Hazard Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment in the area conducted in 2012. The community took part in the exercise and the problems being addressed reflect the priorities of the community. Mass movement of animals during the dry season was also identified as a key issue affecting the more vulnerable members of the community. Children under five years, women and the elderly often lack enough food during the dry season, and this is directly attributed to lack of water for livestock during the dry season. Anticipated change to be achieved by this project will be: • Availability of water for agricultural use by the Lekiji community • Availability of water for livestock use, especially during the dry season • Improved access to food through establishment of demonstration plots Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Catholic Diocese of MaralalCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk34917.210060000.0000CAFOD General Funds-25082.7900CAFOD General Funds60000.0000Catholic Diocese of Maralal-25082.7900Catholic Diocese of MaralalGB-CHC-285776-KEN700CAFODThis project aims to contribute towards food security and resilience for poor and vulnerable communities in Ewasu and Torosei locations of Kajiado County, Kenya.

The programme overall aim is to contribute towards increasing access to modern, affordable and sustainable energy services for 407,792 households through 138 schools and health centres and 69 rural community based groups in rural and peri-urban areas in Kenya. The programme is being implemented in three counties; Kitui, Isiolo and Kajiado County in Kenya. Partners involved in the programme are; Dupoto-E-Maa, Catholic Dioceses of Isiolo and Kitui and Solar Works East Africa Limited which is a private Sector Company focusing on Solar Energy Technology and operating in East Africa. The programme has 4 key specific and closely interrelated objectives these are: 1. To improve provision of energy services for schools and health centres in rural and peri-urban areas in target districts. 2. To increase local incomes for rural and peri-urban youth and women groups through installation of off-grid information and communication technology (ICT) centres in rural townships that will be incorporate cyber cafes, computer training and related services. 3. To improve management of natural resources by target rural and peri-urban communities through providing alternatives to crude sources of energy such as wood fuel, kerosene and charcoal through installation of solar water pumping systems at existing water structures, support for solar lighting systems for schools and health centres, use of energy saving jikos and community awareness raising on environmental protection. 4. To build local capacities of partners and target communities for implementing and managing modern energy systems. This is being achieved through engaging Solar Works E.A Limited to train local partners, students and staff at schools and health centres, and community groups’ members on maintenance of energy systems and creation of awareness of the target beneficiaries on how to maintain and ensure safety of the energy systems. CAFOD will support in the following activities during the remaining period of implementation: • Organise annual partner cross learning exchange visits of 4 days for 15 pax • Organise annual partner project review and planning meeting for 25 pax for 3 days • Facilitated CBA Training workshop for 4 days @ 25 pax • Facilitated an End Term Evaluation • Carry out project audit • Project monitoring • Carry out purchases of visibility materials for the three project sites Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk37734.103736735.340737734.1037CAFOD General Funds36735.3407CAFOD General FundsGB-CHC-285776-KEN711CAFODThis a complemntary project that will employ the use of GIS mapping for advocacy.

In order to effectively assess the Impacts and Outcomes at programme and project levels, baselines, mid-term and end of project evaluations are always conducted with gender and age disaggregated data, across all indicators as defined in the CAFOD logframes. Impact studies are conducted in which intended, and unintended impact on individual families are tracked over time; changes within the family, within the communities and within the external social, political, and economic context are analysed. Comparisons are made between each of the different CAFOD supported project locations, particularly to assess commonalities between families and districts to determine success factors for increased resilience. A number of key sources exist to obtain information on various CGF and Institutional supported projects and programmes at CAFOD level: Webpromise, partner submitted progressive reports, partner evaluation reports, need assessment reports, reports manager etc. There is therefore potentially a plethora of information being collected by all CAFOD partners at all levels for all kinds of projects and programmes. CAFOD EA will therefore engage an individual consultant to design a simple yet functional, efficient and effective Programme M&E Information Management System that will help in monitoring programme progress against high level Impact, Outcome and Output indicators, and assist CAFOD programme staff to generate, access and monitor programme information efficiently and to the benefit of the programme's high level programme goals and outcomes. This system will be implemented for all CAFOD supported projects to track performance indicators set out in the log frames, and to critically analyse progress towards agreed milestones throughout the life of each project. Progress monitoring against output milestones will either be reported quarterly or bi-annually reflecting gender analysis, age group and location disaggregated data. This quantitative progress reporting will be supported by qualitative assessments of wider indirect impacts of project outputs on HHs and communities through evaluations.

This follows a pilot that was first tried in Ethiopia, Zambia and Mombasa, Kenya over a period of three years. The project titled "evidence responsive HIV stigma reduction project – Uganda" is seeking to promote HIV prevention and treatment services by including stigma reduction in the responses. The project successfully started in November 2014 and will run over a period of one year to close in October 2015 Following successful grant processing and transfer to the partner it was observed that the project budget accrued a surplus of £7,057.48 which mainly resulted from favourable exchange rate gains. It has been agreed after discussions with the two partners, CAFOD project and funding teams and the donor to use this surplus to produce some additional educational/information materials for the communities. Initially this need was identified as a key project closure activity but not budgeted for. Over the implementation period therefore, partner staff will progressively capture and document unique stigma and discrimination experiences from respondents and good response practices from other change agents including faith leaders. The unique stories and practices will then be followed up later in the year with an overall production of educational materials to inform transformation realised in the lives of the primary stakeholders of this project. The materials will be in the form of a ‘light read’ booklet on the best practices of this project and an audio visual documentary covering the role of faith leaders in stigma reduction. Target audiences of these educational materials will include project beneficiaries, supporters of this work and collaborators as a way of showcasing the project impact on target communities.

The targeted groups will benefit from increased crop and livestock productivity as a result of understanding and applying climate resilient agricultural practices and management of natural resources, which means they will suffer fewer losses due to climate-related shocks or environmental degradation. With increased food production and nutritional diversity at the household level, there will be year-round food security and reduced incidences of malnutrition. They will have surplus to sell for household income and they will access fairer prices for products due to having a greater understanding of the market and how to add value, work in producer groups and engage with traders and input suppliers directly.

Women, men and children living in remote and hazard-prone rural areas in Samburu- Kenya rely on smallholder agriculture and livestock to provide their main source of food or income. Poverty is widespread, many face food insecurity, and livelihoods are highly dependent on climatic conditions. The most recent research has found that there is high probability that climate change will exacerbate the vulnerability of agricultural systems particularly in regions of Africa (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 2014 5th Report). Smallholder farmers are vital in supplying food to the local population. However, growing competition over scarce resources, limited technical support and inadequate policies have contributed to environmental degradation, low productivity and an unfavourable environment for local economic development. Poor smallholder food producers lack the capacity, technical skills and financial resources to adapt to changing climatic conditions, which renders them more vulnerable to food insecurity and inhibits their active participation in local markets (CAFOD, Setting the post-2015 development compass, 2013). This project aims to increase the productivity and resilience of agricultural systems; consolidate engagement in markets and diversify income generation; strengthen adaptation to climate change; and increase the ability of local, small scale food producers to access services and influence development practices.

Learn and capture the best practice and use to inform and influence climate resilient development policy and practices by CAFOD and partners The proposed project fits with the CAFOD East Africa Regional Strategy in that it is an integrated project. In the current strategy integration is the main focus. Additionally, the project focuses on food security that include accessibility, availability, stability and affordability while integrating key components on disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation and governance which are core components of the East Africa strategy. Poor Women, men and children living in remote and hazard-prone rural areas in Kitui, Marsabit and Maralal - Kenya rely on smallholder agriculture to provide their main source of food or income. Despite macro-economic growth in Kenya communities are unable to maintain a basic standard of living.

In particular, the aim is to frame this discussion from an “energy for national development” rather than – or rather than solely – a “climate protection” perspective in order to get greater political traction. The project comes at a critical time for influencing the implementation and financing of Kenya’s national energy and climate change policies . Kenya’s 2030 economic vision is for a 10% increase in GDP from 2012 onwards with energy as one of the key sectors for reform. In terms of its development needs, the Kenyan population is growing at a high rate, which has led to increase in demand for resources such as energy, food, and infrastructure – in the case of energy access, population growth is outstripping electrification. 67% of Kenyan citizens live in rural areas. Up to 90% of people living in these areas lack access to electricity, and rely on crude and unsustainable forms of energy supply such as traditional bio-mass.

This project meets CAFOD’s Vision 2020 aims of: (1) promoting working with Church partners; (2) integrating advocacy with programme work and; (3) building capacity among Southern partners and identifying/developing new strategic partnerships. The research will provide quantitative and qualitative evidence for policy guidance and will be used to inform and generate evidence-based discussion among national and sub-national policy-makers, public, business, Church leaders, local communities, international development partners and other stakeholders, and to create demand for energy planning that can deliver pro-poor, climate compatible development. In terms of ensuring the project is “sustainable” in the sense of driving long-term structural change, this project can help to achieve such change by: • Providing decision makers with the evidence needed to make informed choices about future energy investments and utilization of the energy generated. • Building public “energy literacy” and in particular building understanding about pro-poor climate compatible energy pathways so citizens can organise for change and hold decision makers to account. • Build the capacity of local communities and local and national level partners to participate in an informed way in energy decision making and to advocate for pro-poor, sustainable energy solutions. • SE4ALL advocates for energy efficiency, equity and renewable sources this project can fast-track the achievement of these pillars Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk15016.798127107.797315016.7981CAFOD General Funds3720.7984CAFOD General Funds23386.9989CAFOD General FundsGB-CHC-285776-KEN744CAFODThis project is geared towards enabling church leadership through the Bishops to engage in advocacy through civic education and mobilisation of citizens as well as encouraging non-violent participation of Kenyan citizens in devolved governance, local resource distribution and campaigns towards sustained service delivery.

The main strategy for this project is intensifying church involvement in advocating for change in policy and practice by states in support for Small Holder Farmers’ (SHFs) Rights who contribute over 70% of the food consumed in rural areas and urban centres globally. Further, support to SHFs has a direct positive impact not only on household income generation but also on improving the health of poor families. The project has a three point agenda. First, it aims at increasing the voice, influence and visibility of SHFs in regional, national and international decision making processes. Further, the project seeks to address issues of women SHFs who constitute the majority in the sector. Secondly the project will advocate that the East African states increase budgetary allocations up to 10% of their national budget. In giving the lobbying public support JHC in collaboration with CJPC networks will organize SHFs into campaign solidarity groups, in order to develop priority areas for relevant State agencies for funding. The third agenda is to lobby national, regional and international bodies to create an environment where inward investments thrive. These actions are aimed at driving actualization of a pro-poor policy and practice environment, in which rights of SHFs are promoted.

The project contributes to four interrelated outputs as listed below: 1.Women and men have improved, equitable and sustainable access to safe water and sanitation 2.Women and men are reached with better information on good sanitation and hygiene practices 3.Communities, local authorities and leaders have better knowledge, skills and relationships to engage in participatory planning, management and delivery of WASH services 4.Communities and relevant stakeholders have better knowledge and skills for management of water resources and catchment areasCatholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk27813.000032409.000011873.000024339.800015000.0000MannionDaniels12813.0000MannionDaniels20409.0000MannionDaniels12000.0000MannionDaniels11873.0000MannionDaniels9000.0000CAFOD General Funds7009.0000MannionDaniels2091.8000CAFOD General Funds6239.0000CAFOD General FundsGB-CHC-285776-KEN748CAFODSt.Johns Sports Society (SSS) based at St. John's sub - parish of Kariobangi has worked with communities of Korogocho slums in Nairobi for over 20 years. Korogocho slum is a low-income inhabited by a population of over 100,000 residents. In this project, SSS proposes to take forward and consolidate the gains of the partnership it has had with CAFOD since 2008 in supporting communities in Korogocho mainly through Sports, arts and cultural performances aimed at mobilizing youth towards constructive use of their skills and talents for justice and peace. For the next two years, the project seeks to use sports and culture as tools to bring change among in Korogocho slums within the framework of peace and justice agenda. The project shall use youths participating in different sports and cultural activities as agents of change. Our key strategies will include use of various sport teams (football, netball, volleyball, karate, tae-kwondo, handball and boxing), education and leadership teams and media programmes (electronic and print). There will also be training of pupils and teachers on peace education in order to address early warning signs to elections related conflicts. 600 peace builders will also be trained. A music festival and roadshows will be conducted to mobilize communities Direct beneficiaries will be about 250 members of various sports teams and about 600 new members who will be recruited in the next three years. The indirect beneficiaries will be about 37,000 residents of Korogocho slum.

The beneficiaries comprise rural pastoralists and agro-pastoralists drawn from 4 locations namely Kinna, Merti, Oldonyiro and Leparua. These areas are targeted primarily because of its high vulnerability to socio-economic crises manifested by livelihood and food insecurity, environmental degradation and malnutrition. In the past, it has noted that beneficiaries of such interventions end up sharing the inputs with other under privileged families with the context of the traditional social support mechanism, thereby increasing the number of direct and indirect beneficiaries. In this arrangement, this project is anticipated to reach up to 1,800 people. The target group includes highly vulnerable members including the disabled, elderly people, women headed households and people living with HIV/AIDS. The beneficiaries will be selected through an inclusive community-based targeting approach using vulnerability criteria. The following will be considered during the identification of the beneficiaries: • Access to social support networks- Priority will be given to households with no external social support. • Female headed households • Number of members in a household • Households caring for a disabled person • Households supporting elderly and/or infirm persons • Young orphan-headed households caring for siblings • Vulnerability to climate change The targeting was arrived through needs assessment carried out involving community opinion leaders, government officers, religious leaders, nongovernmental organizations and community members. A needs assessment was carried out and it informed on the different needs for men women boys and girls on the following; conflict, livelihoods, health and nutrition, water, disaster risk reduction and governance status in the County. After analysis, the needs lying in the people of Isiolo County were prioritized as: food security, health and nutrition, environment conservation and water. Based on the analysis done, the project will focus its resources at women, children and youth. The rationale behind this is that women are the ones who are affected most and are vulnerable to shocks. Further, there will be an emphasis to identify female and child headed households, being groups in society that are often unattended to by communities. The youth have been targeted to support in establishment of livelihoods for future generations who have not been fully engaged in economic activities such as farming and trade in the region. The youth are also intended to provide linkages to markets due to their agile nature.

The HCD project aims to strengthen local organisations capacity to respond to emergencies in a more efficient and effective manner to meet the needs of most vulnerable groups and communities. The strategic Partners who will participate in this project are the old partners; Caritas Marsabit, Caritas Isiolo, Caritas Maralal and new partners; Caritas Mombasa, and Caritas Homabay. Humanitarian Capacity Development (HCD) process is not just one-off events, it uses wide range of approaches to develop capacities including; training, networking, coaching, mentoring, peer learning, exposure visits etc. By bringing these different approaches, HCD will sustain a process of individual and organisational change thereby enabling organisations to achieve their humanitarian goals. HCD addresses both human and institutional capacities. Institutional capacities remain in place as humans move on. HCD put emphasis on learning-by-doing experience because people learn best from real life experiences to acquire new abilities. In this project, a centralised training sessions will be facilitated. It includes trainings on Leadership & Management, fundraising training, Core Humanitarian Training, Emergency SimulationTraining. An exchange & learning visits between HCD partners and from other partners, Peer learning sessions, reflection and review meetings will be undertaken. Two Review meetings is planned to capture lessons and experiences. The main purpose of facilitating the activities will be to empower CAFOD strategic partners to deliver high quality and timely humanitarian assistance.

Livestock production is the mainstay of the predominantly pastoral and agro-pastoral communities. Ordinarily, this is supplemented by subsistence crop production, trade and bee keeping among other economic activities. Isiolo County is experiencing severe drought condition in all the livelihood zones characterized by among others drying up of key water sources. This is a result of poor performance of long rains in March – May 2016. The situation was worsened by the poor performance of seasonal rains between October- December 2016. No Arid and Semi Arid Land (ASAL) in Kenya received rain in December 2016 and in all cases the amount was depressed and its distribution rated as poor. The National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) early warning reports reveal that the drought status in Isiolo County is alarm worsening, with some areas experiencing emergency food insecurity. The Government declared the on-going drought a national disaster in February 2017. The foregoing situation calls for emergency interventions to avert a human catastrophe by saving lives as well as alleviating further suffering. This project will target 1,240 Households comprising of 6,200people (1,120 men , 1,370 women, 1,980 girls, 1,730 boys). It will prioritise population groups most affected by the drought situation who are: women, children and the aged.

Discussions by INGOs in the START network, revealed that the scale of the crisis was much bigger that what the START funds could handle. The INGOs working in the ASAL areas thereafter came together in a meeting on 4thJanuary 2017 to form a joint humanitarian response effort to collect data and information with a view to developing joint interventions. This was followed by Country Directors’ meeting which approved the same. Consequently a technical team meeting in which 10 INGOs were represented drafted a format for data collection. With support from the draw down funds, information analysis and prioritization of needs and geographical location will be carried between these second half of January.

The project activities have been developed to complement an existing Integrated food Security Project that works to promote agro-enterprise and income diversification for households in Homa Bay county. The rational of the project is that HIV and AIDS affects the most active members of the labour force; it reduces earnings and imposes huge costs on all economic activities. Most activities of the main project are primarily labour intensive and require significant inputs of time and energy. Learning from the main Integrated Food Security Project (IFSP) largely informed this project design. From April 2017 to March 2018, with funding from The Jerusalem Trust, the partner implemented a one-year poultry keeping project. During the year, Caritas Homa Bay organised families affected by HIV and AIDS into 60 poultry farming and enterprise groups. Our partner equipped 350 group members with skills on good poultry rearing practices including proper housing and hygiene, feeding, disease management and the safe disposal of poultry manure. The groups were trained on poultry production including poultry as a source of food and income, and how to create job opportunities for other members of the community along the poultry value chain. With additional funding from Jerusalem Trust the partner will sustain successes from year 1 in the period April 2019 to March 2020 by: • Addressing challenges including access to poultry feeds, poultry diseases and egg handling. • Supporting the originally established five Poultry Enterprise Groups to scale up production and make a return on investment. • Reaching the wider community through training on poultry production in order to access nutritious food and sell poultry for profit at market.

RPP is a patented in-stream hydro-turbine, drawing energy from flowing water without damming, diverting or altering the natural flow of the river. Ideally suited as a remote power solution, it is transportable, scalable and can be rapidly deployed and/or relocated. RPPs are easy to install and maintain using widely available materials and methods. Our technology and training can empower local teams of all ages and backgrounds, enabling them to manufacture, install and maintain turbines for their communities – transforming living conditions, creating employment and generating income. This project will help to build a sustainable solution based on a small team of local young women and men trained to make, install and maintain RPPs. The team will be able to make and maintain the turbines as part of their sustainable enterprise. Supported by the local expertise, skills and track record of CAFOD and the Salesians, this enterprise will be locally owned and managed, using initial contributions of training, skills and financial support to help transform communities and schools.

On 10 February 2017, the Government declared a national drought emergency, with 23 of 47 counties affected. The number of food insecure people more than doubled – from 1.3 million to 2.7 million and then 3.0 million people in March. Marsabit( Marsabit diocese) and West Pokot(Kitale diocese) counties are among the worst affected Water access and availability has been adversely affected in these areas, with populations having to go through longer walking distances to the scarce water points, since the water points are also drying up, as well as very long waiting times. In Marsabit, for example, the major sources of water for livestock currently is boreholes, which was not normal at this time of the year as the main source is usually water pans. In some places, such as Moyale, Kalacha, Dukana and Gatab shallow wells, water pans and springs were being used. The return trekking distances from grazing areas to water points is 50-70 kilometres for camels, 20-30 kilometres for cattle and 15-25 kilometres for small stock in agro pastoral and pastoral livelihood zones (KFSSG , 2017). Humanitarian interventions by the Government of Kenya, at both the national and county-level, as well as by other development partners, across various parts of the pastoral and marginal agricultural areas, are likely mitigating the severity of acute food insecurity outcomes. However, insufficient and uncoordinated response efforts to date, in some areas, and lack of clarity on numbers of planned beneficiaries and coverage areas, make it difficult to assess the impacts of the humanitarian assistance and future. FEWSNET has projected that without adequate and sustained humanitarian assistance, more poor households could face Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes between the dry period of July and September, particularly in Marsabit. In response to the appeal by Caritas international, CAFOD will contribute £50,000 to Caritas Kenya as part of the intervention in Marsabit and West Pokot Counties.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops CAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk50000.000050000.0000CAFOD General Funds50000.0000Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops GB-CHC-285776-KEN785CAFODThis research will focus specifically on the greenhouse component of the green energy project which aimed to increase the income of women through women’s groups growing horticultural produce in greenhouses (tomatoes) in Kenya.

These objectives can be broken down as follows: •Understand the project design and business model(s) used for delivering increased income to women through the green houses project – including stakeholders involved, detailed understanding of the business model and value chain, & differences in the model across different sites •Analysis of the factors that have appeared to contribute to success (including ongoing financial, social and environmental sustainability), as well as challenges faced. This to include better understanding the enabling environment for the projects as well as socio-cultural factors which influenced the design and implementation of the project and/or are currently influencing its success. •Reflection on if/how the model could be improved for the future •Use the CAFOD/IIED energy delivery model approach as a reflective tool to analyse an existing energy service Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk9326.00009326.0000CAFOD General FundsGB-CHC-285776-KEN786CAFODThis project aims to provide sustainable water access & food for drought affected households( 500hh/2500persons) in Ntirim village, isiolo County.

The long rains did not help as they were poorly distributed. As the long rains season ended, many parts of the ASALs are still experiencing a severe deficit in vegetation condition, lengthy distances to water, unusually high food prices, and worrying levels of malnutrition. This has led to conflict over the scarce resources. The level of recovery in rangeland conditions and livestock productivity has not been sufficient to see families through the on going dry period. No crop harvest is expected due to poor performance of the long rains.

Efforts are therefore being made to understand how the current norm of externally-led humanitarian interventions can be transformed into an approach that starts by maximising the impact of the survivor-led response. Not only can this be more responsive, quicker, more efficient and more holistic – it can also contribute to better psycho-social recovery and build and not undermine long-term community resilience. Furthermore, it also provides the chance to strengthen longer term resilience and help communities to start tackling root causes. The LPRR research revealed 6 key lessons which can inform our efforts to improve emergency response: (1) enable the community to co-run the response, (2) include psycho-social support, (3) remember the importance of community cohesion (togetherness) and good communication, (4) coordinate with other organisations and where possible work with the government or authorities (or advocate for rights) (5) identify and start to address the root causes, (6) include livelihoods and income generation immediately to empower, enable ‘power within’, give hope and avoid aid dependency. Under this proposed pilot project in Marsabit, we seek to build upon the gains of the recent drought emergency programme and assist local, drought-affected communities to improve their future resilience. It aims to do this through the following objectives; i. Giving micro-grants to active groups to improve the resilience of the drought-affected communities ii.

These comprehensive set of 17 goals and 169 targets offer a transformative agenda for all countries, in which people and the environment are placed at the heart of development. While we as Caritas Family applaud the goals, it is imperative that they are translated into meaningful action. We are led by the light of hope; we know, however, that hope only becomes reality when followed up with deeds. Caritas Organizations have helped to influence governments and the United Nations throughout the creation of the SDGs, to ensure that Agenda 2030 reflects the real needs of the communities with whom we work. We will continue to engage with governments to ensure that the SDGs are reflected in national plans through a participatory process that seeks to “leave no-one behind”. Caritas Kenya has taken an initiative to commence Caritas Community Dialogues on SDGs with the objective to contribute to the delivery of the SDGs and enhance accountability with a key focus on development processes by the devolved County Governments. The overall framework on devolution needs constant dialogued reviews to facilitate development of dynamic devolution policies and operational guidelines that contribute to effective monitoring progress while ensuring existence of a multi-stakeholder and inclusive process that guarantees wider citizen participation in public matters as well as identifying synergies among the County governments and other church development entities in addressing contextual Diocese needs. The government acknowledges the role of Caritas Kenya in development work and has recommended on the formation of FBOs Coalition on SDGs which Caritas has been mandated to spearhead by the Ministry in Charge.

This was occasioned by the alleged government shooting that left nine civilians dead and scores injured. The influx of the Ethiopian asylum seekers in Kenya prompted action by the Kenya Government (both National and County), host communities and humanitarian organizations to provide basic needs and services e.g. security, shelter, food and water to the affected population. This led to the establishment of two temporary camps by the Kenyan government initially hosting 9,700 people. The established camps are Somare and Dambala Fachana located in Somare and Dambala Fachana locations respectively. Somare camp is adjacent to the Kenyan Ethiopia Border while Dambala Fachana is seventeen kilometers away from the same border. The political situation in Ethiopia improved after the inauguration of the new Prime Minister on April 2, 2018. This by the willingness of some asylum seekers who went back to their country reducing the number of asylum seekers to approximately 5000 persons. CSG meeting attended by Diocese of Marsbait and CAFOD agreed on 5,000 figure. The host community has limited resources for example water yet they are magnanimous in their hospitality to the asylum seekers and continues to bear the brunt of sharing scant resources with the Ethiopian asylum seekers.

It has an estimated population of 143, 294 .The county which is classified as arid and semi-arid (ASAL) is hot and dry in most months in the year with two rainy seasons: short rains in October and November; long rains in March and May. The rainfall is unreliable with an annual average of 580.2 mm. The County like other ASAL areas is grappling with numerous socio-economic challenges manifested in among other indicators food insecurity, low incomes, unemployment, environmental degradation and inter-community conflicts. In view of these, the key needs of the communities are: Food security: constitutes a key challenge facing the pastoral and Agro-Pastoral communities in Isiolo County. The County has a food poverty rate of 77%. Majority of the people depend primarily on relief food. Over 80% of the land in the County is non-arable (22,000 km2) and is used for grazing by the pastoralists. Only 1,497 hectares are under food crops production . Environmental management: The scarce resources in Isiolo County lead to severe environmental degradation of land and pasture that immensely contribute to the often-experienced inter-ethnic conflicts. Charcoal burning, sand harvesting, overgrazing and overstocking in most parts of the county has been rapidly depleting vegetation leaving land exposed to soil erosion. Environmental degradation has led to decreased vegetation cover; water scarcity due to destruction of water catchments, increase of environment-related diseases such as kalaazar, eyes and respiratory problems. Conflicts: Isiolo County is prone to inter and intra community conflicts triggered by among other factors competition for scarce resources such as pasture and water, cattle rustling, negative perceptions, boundary disputes and political instigations.

A total of 1,200 direct beneficiaries (500 males and 700 (female) will be reached over three years, by 2021. This project aims to sustain food security interventions through an integrated approach. The integration strategy will promote food production, livestock rearing (gala goats and poultry), and income generation for target beneficiaries. SILC group methodology will be used as an entry point for planned activities. In addition, participating community groups will be supported sustainably to manage their natural resources responsibly and to actively engage in Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS). It is anticipated that this project will immensely contribute towards achieving food security for Mombasa and Kwale Counties. Low crop and livestock productivity is mainly caused by: inadequate/erratic rainfall, Crop failure which is widespread in the mixed farming livelihood zones; and inadequate pasture in livestock farming zone. Project interventions are expected to contribute towards sustainable food security, diversified household incomes, and responsible use of natural resources amongst the communities living in Mwakirunge (Kisauni subcounty) and Lunga lunga Sub county by July 2021.

Despite macro-economic growth within the Country, communities are unable to maintain a basic standard of living and many households face food insecurity. Majority of population relies on rain-fed agriculture which is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change resulting to low crop and livestock production. There is limited access to farm inputs, inadequate capacities on appropriate dry land farming and inadequate market system development. The combined effects of climate change and rapid population growth are increasing food insecurity, environmental degradation, and poverty levels in the county. Already scarce resources such as arable farmland must be subdivided among more people, resulting in over-exploitation and low productivity. The population below the Poverty Line in Kitui County is at 60% which is way below the national rate of 45% with Human Development and Gender Inequality index at 0.45% compared to the national index of 0.49%.

In fact, employment is a central priority for both people living in poverty, and for governments and donors attempting to have strong development impact. At this point in history, however, we face a dual challenge, both social and ecological, and there is just no are not the time nor the resources to respond to this challenge in a non-integrated way. Laudato Si highlights that our priority is therefore to respond to both the cry of the poor and the cry of the earth. When considering the unemployment and underemployment challenges that countries around the world are currently facing, our priority is, therefore, to call for decent, green jobs for all. Jesuit Hakimani (JH) and CAFOD would like to explore what this means in the Kenyan context: What are decent, green jobs in Kenya… why are these important… and what do decision makers need to do to support the creation of decent and green jobs? Research Objectives: 1. Investigate the gaps about global contemporary concerns & considerations in the current policy framework on job creation that are decent, green & sustainable. 2. Consolidate and provide relevant improvements at the county and at the national level in the policy and legal framework so as to create decent, green & sustainable jobs. 3. Identify connection and to raise awareness amongst rural farmers and the general public of the connection between bad governance and persistent food insecurity in Kenya. 4. To capture and solidify the public sentiments and awaken social thinking on issues of governance, decent, green jobs, & food security especially amongst the rural poor and urban working poor.

The livelihoods of the pastoralists without access, or with very limited access to water are vulnerable because they have difficulty in obtaining food, accumulating other assets, and recuperating after recurrent natural shocks such as drought. The main goal of this project is to improve water access to 800 pastoral households and 4 institutions (4,000 individuals) in Noloroi and Tuale villages of Oldonyiro Ward, Isiolo County. Construction of sand dams and rainwater harvesting systems will increase access to water for domestic and livestock use. Moreover, the water sources will not only increase water availability in the midterm, but it will also promote the livelihood and household economy and create access to basics of life for the targeted as well as build the capacity of the pastoral communities to face shocks. Improved access to water will also contribute to reduced distance to water sources which will enable children to have adequate time to study and play instead of spending that time to look for water. Availability of water in schools will allow the children to have enough time for their education rather than go fetch water for the school. Construction of sand dams and rainwater harvesting systems will provide the long-term answers to the problem of water scarcity. Sand dams are environmentally friendly and provides reliable water within reach by the local people and will also improve water access to livestock. Sand dam has low maintenance cost. Roof catchment in Noloroi and Tuale schools will offer possibilities of collecting rainwater to supplement water collected from the sand dams. Rainwater will be used for drinking and cooking.

Despite the difficulties facing farmers, government support to agricultural production declined due to falling revenues. Depressed rains have adversely affected crop production. As a result, crop production was below average, leading to more severe food insecurity and malnutrition in Marsabit County. Due to systemic gender norms and underlying inequalities, Covid-19 threatens to significantly reduce women, girls’ livelihoods, and economic security. Marsabit County in particular, women and girls faced greater risks than men even before the pandemic. The vast majority of their employment is in the informal economy where they usually take on low-paid, less secure jobs. They have fewer earnings, fewer savings, less access to social protection and make up the majority of single-parent households. This cocktail of vulnerabilities makes them less resilient to economic shocks like Covid-19. Women and girls with disabilities are even more exposed to the impact of the Covid-19 crisis, which will amplify pre-existing barriers and inequalities. Persons with disabilities and their families are more likely to be poor and face significant challenges (in terms of greater costs) to secure the essential goods and services they need. It is against this backdrop that Caritas Marsabit intends to enhance community food security, economic recovery and support adherence to Covid-19 preventive measures through food voucher intervention to 338households worth KSH5,000 for 3months, support 3women groups to engage in small businesses of making and selling of liquid soap, provision of 1047 reusable facemask to school going children in 3 primary schools and distribution of 1500ltrs of liquid soap for handwashing/ cleaning in the 3 schools and to other vulnerable community members targeted in Saku Subcounty Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Catholic Diocese of MarsabitCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk50000.000050000.0000CAFOD General Funds50000.0000Catholic Diocese of MarsabitGB-CHC-285776-KEN841CAFODThe purpose of this project is to enable the Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops through the National Justice and Peace Commission to; Contribute to Enhanced awareness on Covid-19 pandemic in 15 Dioceses (Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nyeri, Nakuru, Eldoret, Marsabit, Lodwar, Isiolo, Muranga, Kitale, Kitui, Embu and Maralal).

Both seasons were characterized by late onsets, below average cumulative quantities, and poor distribution both in time and space. Assistance will be targeted at the worst affected areas which are currently not supported by any partner. A community-based targeting approach will identify people who will receive assistance. These will include female headed households with children under 5 years; pregnant or lactating mothers with children under 5 years; female headed families with no source of income; families with severely or moderately malnourished children or child (under 5 years); households headed by persons living with disabilities with no source of income and child headed households.

Currently, water trucking and food assistance (through food distribution, cash transfers and food vouchers) to the most affected people and institutions are amongst some of the drought emergency interventions supported by CAFOD, the National and County Government and all partners working in the humanitarian aid relief. Unless supported through interventions such as water trucking and food donations most people and institutions currently do not have access to safe, clean drinking water and food. In the ongoing 3rd Phase of CAFOD GEF funding & support from Caritas Australia, the project targets 7 severely drought affected villages with food distribution, food voucher and water trucking, 5 schools with school feeding programs, 40 needy students with food for fees, construction of an underground tank in Tullu Dimtu and borehole drilling in Burgabo. The project is also targeting 11 strategic diesel-run boreholes among drought-affected communities of Marsabit County with the provision of fuel subsidies and 10 boreholes with fast moving spare parts. Additional funding from CAFOD GEF will support 3 villages with food distribution, water trucking, solar relocation in Burgabo and Genset house and school feeding programme for 1 school, and food for fees for 40 students.

According to Isiolo County Drought Early Warning Bulleting for May 2022 , the county is at an alarm phase with worsening trends. Pasture and browse regeneration are insufficient and their condition ranges from fair to poor and is expected to worsen as the drought condition persists. Food security situation continues to deteriorate, and more households are falling into the crisis phase of IPC classification. The whole County is expected to remain generally dry during the months of June, July, August and September, 2022. The impact of the drought is manifested in among others.

According to NDMA drought bulletin for the month of September 2022, vegetation greenness in Samburu County has remained below the average since the beginning of the year across the livelihood zones. The situation has exposed many families to hunger and starvation. This has been the case too for livestock which is the main source of income for the pastoralist communities in the county. The situation has worsened with a number of deaths (human) being reported from Samburu East and Samburu North sub-counties. The most affected villages are concentrated in Samburu East and Samburu North sub-counties mostly Nachola, El barta, Ndoto, Suguta Mar Mar, Wamba East, Uaso, Baawa , Wamba North, Wamba East wards and the borders between Samburu, Marsabit, Isiolo, Turkana and Baringo counties. The county government, through the department of special programmes and other stakeholders including Caritas Maralal, have since employed a number of interventions especially food drives targeting the most vulnerable households, but the situation is worsening as a result of the drought and insecurity arising from the same. The situation has forced pastoralists from the entire county to migrate with their livestock to neighbouring counties, especially Laikipia county, in search of water and pasture. The migration has consequently brought about tribal clashes with a number of people losing their lives from the clashes. Vulnerable groups in these communities, such as women, children, elderly and young Morans who take care of livestock and households have since been weakened due to lack of food and water among other basic services.

However, there still is a huge gap in joint collaboration from stakeholders in strengthening the goat milk value chain. In a recent market system analysis on goat milk value chain carried out by CAFOD through Fair and sustainable consulting, there exists a large gap between goat milk production and demand mainly because production is at subsistence level rather than commercial. Goat farming in Samburu County is mostly carried out by women and youth to provide alternative income for household consumption and other expenditures. Dairy goats can bear offspring twice an year, with one goat producing at least 1 litre of milk per day. As per the analysis carried out by CAFOD through Fair and Sustainable Consulting, Samburu central has a ready market for milk and the demand is currently higher than production. There is a conducive environment for production and favourable climatic condition to support goat farming and goat milk production and their feeds. This project proposes a number of activities to address issues hindering expansion and commercialization of goat milk among indigenous pastoralist women and youth. The issues to be addressed include lack of coordination among key actors in the goat milk value chain, low production of milk from both local and dairy goats, a lack of linkage among goat farmers themselves and a lack of strong policy environment to support the value chain. The target location for this project is Samburu central with the main target being youth and women.

The 2023-2030 KU strategy aspires, alongside our partners, to contribute towards resilient communities where people, particularly women, girls, and other marginalized people, thrive in a peaceful, well-governed, and healthy, supportive natural environment. Kenya-Uganda programme strategy seeks to address four key drivers of social and environmental vulnerability in fragile environments in the northern regions of Kenya and Uganda: environmental degradation, climate shocks, poor governance, and conflict. To actualize these aspirations, the overall objective of the Needs Assessment is to assess the current situation, identify the gaps and needs of the targeted communities and recommend key interventions that meet the real needs of the targeted communities in Marsabit, Isiolo, and Samburu County and at national level for policy and advocacy across the sectors below in line with the new programme strategy. The following thematic areas among others will be addressed; Food and nutrition security, Resilience building and Livelihoods, WASH, Natural resource management, Women's Economic Empowerment, Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation, Peacebuilding and good governance, Capacity Strengthening; The findings of the needs assessment will inform the development of CAFOD and institutional-funded Programmes. By identifying and analyzing the needs across different sectors, CAFOD and Partners will develop a better understanding of the sectors that require more focus. By considering multiple sectors together, a more holistic and integrated approach and or develop specific projects, will be adopted to meet the needs of communities and populations effectively and ensure these are aligned to programme strategy.

Part of a CAFOD programme with eight partners, this project generates longitudinal evidence linking agroecological practices to climate resilience outcomes among smallholder farmers. Marsabit faces recurrent droughts and land degradation. While Caritas Marsabit promotes agroecological interventions (composting, water harvesting, FMNR), systematic evidence connecting these practices to measurable resilience outcomes in ASAL contexts is limited. This Learning Journey addresses that gap. Over three years, 100+ farmers (50% women) engaged in Caritas Marsabit livelihoods projects will be surveyed at baseline, midline, and endline. The participatory methodology utilizes the FAO Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE), co-designed with partners, complemented by resilience indicators (livelihood diversification, adaptive capacity, food security). Digital data collection via KOBO Collect ensures accuracy. With a budget of £7,750, funds support data collection, training, travel, and analysis. The project strengthens Caritas Marsabit's internal MEAL systems. Managed by senior staff, the initiative ensures financial stewardship through established systems and environmental stewardship via digital tools and optimized travel. Academic collaboration with BOKU University enhances methodological rigor. Findings will inform programming, scale practices, and support advocacy at county and global levels. Thematic standards prioritize gender inclusion, ethical data collection, and environmental sustainability. Ultimately, this journey empowers Caritas Marsabit to demonstrate how agroecology builds climate resilience, contributing to global advocacy and policy engagement.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Catholic Diocese of MarsabitCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk7750.00007750.0000CAFOD General Funds7750.0000Catholic Diocese of Marsabit-7750.0000Catholic Diocese of Marsabit7750.0000Catholic Diocese of MarsabitGB-CHC-285776-KEN871CAFODBIBA-Kenya, a member of our partner AFSA, will prepare a policy position paper on the East Africa Community’s proposed new Plant Variety and Seed Bill. The position paper will be a key resource for CAFOD’s advocacy work on seed sovereignty in Africa, enabling the continuation of work on this issue with partners across the region. To inform the policy position paper, BIBA Kenya will convene strategic multi-stakeholder forums to enhance awareness, dialogue, and advocacy capacity among CSOs, farmer networks, and the public on the implications of the EAC Seed and Plant Variety Bill to seed sovereignty and biodiversity in East Africa. This will build awareness, bring farmers' perspectives into the policy analysis and strengthen collaboration and joint advocacy among CSOs across EAC countries for inclusive and equitable seed governance. BIBA Kenya will coordinate the forums in collaboration with regional and national partners. The process will combine virtual and in-person engagements, participatory learning, and dialogue-based facilitation. BIBA-K has secured funding and in-kind support to convene these forums from AFSA, which has member organisations across the countries of the EAC.
