Country: Kenya
Lead organisation: Inclusive Small Firms Africa (ISFA) and Boma Ikolojia
Drought in West Pokot County (WPC) exacerbates overgrazing, biodiversity loss, low tree survival, and declining agricultural production, driving land degradation and jeopardising livelihoods. Communities face food and income insecurity, with limited resources to adapt to these worsening conditions. To address these challenges, ISFA and Boma Ikolojia are collaborating with local stakeholders to implement a holistic solution integrating Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), pasture production, and beekeeping. FMNR restores soil fertility, increases biodiversity, and provides vital resources like fuelwood and animal feed during droughts. This project aims to restore landscapes, enhance livelihoods, and build resilience in WPC communities.
