The National launch of the Kenya Adaptation to Climate Change in the Arid and Semi- arid land (KACCAL) project took place last Tuesday 9th September 2014 at the KALRO headquarters. KACCAL is supported by the Government of Kenya and the World Bank
through the Global Environment Facility (GEF) grant. This project aims at enhancing the resilience of communities and the sustainability of rural livelihoods threatened by climate change in the semi-arid and arid lands of Kenya.
The project is implemented in the four counties of Garissa, Kilifi, Tana River and West Pokot. The occasion was graced with exhibitions and displays of environmental activities conducted at the community level.
The project is implemented through three project components
- Climate information product, policy and advocacy.
- Climate risk management at the county level and
- Community driven initiatives for climate resilience.
