Strengthening Pathways to Self-Reliance Through Skills and Partnerships

On 6th March 2026, five young participants aged between 18–29 years from Promoting Resilience Inclusivity and Meaningful Engagement (PRIME) Cycle 2 celebrated a life-changing milestone as they graduated from a three-month technical and vocational training program at Uhuru Vocational Training Centre in Isiolo County. The training was supported through linkages facilitated by the PRIME project, implemented by MID-P in partnership with Mercy Corps, in collaboration with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) under the Safaricom-funded program. Through the PRIME project, implemented by MID-P in partnership with Mercy Corps, the participants have been actively engaged in savings groups where they built financial literacy, discipline, and confidence. Recognizing the need to go beyond savings, the program continues to create pathways that link youth to practical skills training, enabling them to pursue sustainable livelihoods. The training, delivered in collaboration with the Isiolo County Government through the Department of Vocational Training, equipped participants with practical, market-relevant skills to enhance their employability and livelihood opportunities. While five participants successfully completed their training, an additional five PRIME Cycle 3 participants from Oldonyiro have been linked to the same program and commenced their motorcycle repair training on 12th March 2026, demonstrating continuity and scale-up of the intervention. From Echwa Apiaro Youth Group, Geoffrey Lowasa, Paul Lotieng’, and John Kitoe…

MID-P Goes Digital: A New Era in Procurement of Goods and services

MID-P, a local organization dedicated to empowering communities through inclusive development, faced critical gaps in its internal systems, particularly in procurement. From the inception, the absence of a dedicated Procurement Officer led to delays in procurement at MID-P. As the organization expanded its footprint, it became clear that a more reliable and transparent system was needed to meet growing operational demands. In 2024, the Sustainability Model Programme (SMP), implemented by MID-P through the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) with funding from DANIDA, initiated a transformative journey to digitalize and strengthen MID-P procurement system. A Syncserv consultancy firm was contracted to support the setup and rollout of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system tailored to the procurement component. At the time, MID-P had no dedicated procurement focal person, which posed a challenge to implementation and coordination. To address this, the organization recruited a procurement intern in January 2025, who was actively involved in supporting the ERP system rollout. Recognizing the intern’s contribution and the importance of having a dedicated procurement lead, MID-P formally absorbed the intern as a staff member in March 2025. Alongside the ERP rollout, two days physical training sessions were held for programme, finance, and procurement staff. The training equipped them to navigate the system, submitting requests, tracking approvals,…

Escalating Malnutrition and Acute Food Shortage in Kenya’s ASAL Counties Amid Worsening Drought

Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) are facing a rapidly escalating humanitarian crisis following three consecutive below-average rainy seasons. Four counties (Mandera, Wajir, Kwale, and Kilifi) are now classified in the Alarm Phase, while 12 others (Baringo, Tana River, Kajiado, Kitui, Lamu, Samburu, Laikipia, Narok, Turkana, Isiolo, Marsabit and Garissa)  remain in the Alert Phase, signaling critical and worsening drought conditions. Currently, over 3.3 million people are acutely food insecure. More than 810,000 children and 116,796 pregnant and breastfeeding mothers require urgent nutrition support and treatment. Despite the scale of need, response efforts remain severely underfunded, limiting lifesaving outreach, health, nutrition, water, and livelihood interventions. Without an immediate scale-up of resources and coordinated multisectoral action, the number of food-insecure people is projected to rise to 3.6 million by June 2026, pushing more counties toward emergency thresholds.
