The project seeks to apply ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) and the nexus approaches to facilitate the co-production of resilient water-energy-food (WEF) knowledge with stakeholders (policymakers, local community groups, private sector, and non-governmental organizations) to inform decision and policy-making.
The project will contribute towards several development objectives which are in line with the Kenya Vision 2030 priorities, the Ewas Nyiro North Development Area (ENNDA) Integrated Regional Development Plan (2010-2040), the ENNDA catchment management strategy and the reformulation and implementation of CIDPs. These include increasing food security, especially pastoral livestock production; resilience through livelihoods diversification; employment creation through EbA solutions; agricultural growth; the conservation and safeguarding of critical habitats, including wildlife-protected areas and community wildlife conservancies. At the governance level, the nexus approach is expected to promote cooperation among actors and policy coherence across “policy silos”, i.e. sectors, levels and scales and the key added value of the nexus approach is in integrating across the various plans and strategies, promoting synergies and generating co-benefits.
