Mixed-method approach shows improved drought resilience in Kenyan pastoral systems, indicating better food security.
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.
