Water and enviromental management

Scarcity of water, both for domestic and livestock use is a major problem in the arid and semi-arid lands of northern Kenya and southern Ethiopia. Overstocking is also a major threat to the fragile environment in the region. It was this realization that has made CIFA consider water and environment as key sectors for intervention. Key result areas expected in this theme include the following.

  • Distance to water points from permanent settlements reduced by 5 km (one way).
  • Cases of water born diseases reduced.
  • Access time for dry season grazing extended by two months.
  • Conflict over resources reduced.
  • Vulnerability to droughts reduced.
