Samburu County, known for its pastoralist economy, has faced severe droughts in the past, significantly impacting the livelihoods of its residents.
According to the County Information Officer at the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA), Casim J.
Zuberi, previous droughts have led to loss of pasture, which resulted in livestock death, the main sources of income for the communities, thus posing grave economic challenges for the region.
In an interview, Zuberi highlighted that NDMA worked closely with the community by implementing cash transfer programmes targeting vulnerable households affected by drought.
