World Vision Kenya promotes location specific climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience building initiatives through project based approaches that focus on education and awareness creation, technology transfer and advocacy of CSA practices across selected counties of Kenya. The organization prioritizes activities that: enhance community resilience building against environmental threats such as climate change; promote dryland development through adoption of CSA technologies and practices;
promotes integrated natural resources management practices for resilience building in arid and semi-arid lands; enhance integrated climate protection and resource conservation for sustainable development.
The main activites implemented by World vision aim at increasing resilience among dryland communities of Kenya. The Kenyan drylands are the most vunerable to climate change owing tot he biophysical and social-cultural factors. The frequency and severity of climate extreme events such as drought, periodic floods, heat stress have been on the rise with negative impacts on agriculture, food security and general livelihood strategies among ASAL communities of Kenya. Empowering households to adopt climate smart tecgniques to improve farming methods helps to boost their resilience and improve livelihoods.

The inherent fragility of Kenyas drylands makes these agroecosystems highly vunerable to the adverse effects of climate change owing to the already stressed biophysical and social-cultural environments. The increasing frequency and severity of extreme climate events such as drought, periodic floods, and heat waves have negatively impacted on agriculture productivity, food security and livelihoods of ASALs
communities of Kenya. Empowering ASALs households to adopt trannsformative climate smart agrotechnologies and practices would help sustain productivity besides boosting resilience of their farming
systems and sustain livelihoods.

Project 1: IMARA project: The overall objective of this project is to Increase the resilience of marginalized households to climate change related shocks through improved natural resources management and diversification of livelihoods.
Project 2: Dry lands Development Program : The long term objective of this project is to enhance food security and economic development of rural populations in dryland areas through improved climate smart water management technologies and practices.
Project 3: Integrated Climate protection and resource conservation project The main objective of this project is to strengthen the adaptive capacity of communities in responding to the adverse effects of climate change on agriculture and food systems through integrated climate and natural resources management approaches.
