Background Information FAO Project OSRO/KEN/701/CHA - Emergency livelihood response to support drought-affected (agro)pastoralists. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) began providing assistance through a destocking programme, aimed at assisting the most vulnerable communities in several counties of Kenya. Ongoing drought has triggered a humanitarian crisis, with food insecurity skyrocketing in northern and coastal areas of Kenya. An estimated 2.5 million people are in urgent need of assistance. The drought has hit livestock-owning communities hardest, with rangelands scorched and water sources dried out, leading to major drops in milk production and even livestock deaths.
