Abstract

The study confirms that through its agencies (the National Drought Management Authority and the Agricultural Sector Development Support Programme) the government is actively involved in addressing challenges facing the pastoralism sector in Kenya. However, the county disaster management strategy needs to be enhanced. Through strengthening policy and diversifying current prevention and recovery strategies, these actions will reduce the probability of increasing poverty among pastoralists in in Kenya. The livestock sector in the drylands accounts for 90% of employment and more than 95% of family incomes and livelihood security.
