Our Mission

To have one collective platform to enhance climate information, build resilience and respond to climate shocks while promoting mitigation and adaptation interventions.
HOW INTERVENTIONS RESONATES
Our interventions are achievable through sustainable and productive resource management, climate resilient investments, capacity support and infrastructural development across livestock sector. All these interventions resonate around food security, livelihoods and investments in dryland counties namely Baringo, Elgeyo-Marakwet, Samburu, Laikipia & Turkana Counties in Kenya.
