Strategic Goal: Strengthening Household Incomes Through Livelihood Diversification
Our mission is to uplift vulnerable and marginalized households by expanding livelihood opportunities, strengthening value chains, and promoting climate-resilient economic activities. Through an integrated and people-centered approach, the program empowers pastoralists, agro-pastoralists, women, and youth to build sustainable futures and actively participate in productive markets and community development.
Strengthening Pastoralist Integration Into Competitive Value Chains
We promote the active participation of pastoralists in the meat and milk value chains by supporting improved livestock management practices, enhancing disease surveillance and control, and facilitating strong partnerships with county government and market actors. These initiatives increase productivity, expand access to markets, and improve household incomes across pastoral communities.
Promoting Climate-Smart Agriculture and Agroecology
For agro-pastoralist communities, we champion climate-smart agricultural practices that improve yields while conserving the environment. Through the integration of agroecology, diversified farming systems, soil restoration methods, and water-efficient technologies, households are better equipped to adapt to climate variability and enhance long-term food and income security.
Economic Empowerment for Youth and Women
We invest in youth and women by equipping them with marketable skills, entrepreneurship training, access to financial services, and linkage to profitable markets. These pathways create dignified employment opportunities, strengthen micro-enterprises, and promote inclusive economic growth. Our approach ensures that women and young people become key drivers of livelihood transformation across their communities.
