Second Phase Of The Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE) Programme To Tackle Food Insecurity
The government plans to roll out the second phase of Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE II) next month to tackle food insecurity in the country.
The ten-year programme, which will run until 2032, aims to eliminate EDE within the next decade through grassroots sensitization forums involving all stakeholders.
The new working document, EDE CPF II, focuses on investments in foundations for ASALs: development and resilience, peacebuilding, conflict management and security, climate-proofed infrastructure, health, nutrition, environmental management, ICT, digitization, and innovation for resilience.
The programme aims to strengthen capacities and systems in drought and early warning, contingency planning, preparedness, response, and recovery, with the ultimate objective of making Kenya a country resilient to drought risk.
The government has initially set aside Sh8 billion for providing food to affected families and feed for livestock in drought-ravaged areas of Nyeri.
