Drought in the Horn of Africa, particularly Kenya's pastoral regions, poses significant challenges to livestock production and human livelihoods. A mixed-method approach combining qualitative interviews with small-scale farmers and quantitative analysis of rainfall data from meteorological stations. Farmers reported that implementing a combination of borehole drilling, rainwater harvesting, and community water sharing reduced household food insecurity by 25% during drought periods. Effective water management strategies significantly improve the resilience of Kenyan pastoral communities to drought conditions. Implementing a tailored water management plan with community engagement is essential for enhancing future drought preparedness in Kenya's pastoral areas.
