Kenya is set to receive a Ksh647 million boost from the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) to improve food security in arid and semi-arid regions.
The donation was made through the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), with the funds set to cushion Kenyan farmers from the possible effects of adverse weather.
The weatherman anticipates below-normal rainfall for the upcoming long rains, prompting the need for early preparations for possible drought and, incidentally, floods.
Confirming the donation, Lauren Landis, WFP's Country Director in Kenya, said the project was aimed at equipping Kenyan farmers, particularly in the dry regions of the country, with resources to build sustainable livelihoods.
