Amid escalating climate challenges, women from indigenous communities in Isiolo County are pioneering new pathways to resilience.
With its arid and semi-arid landscapes, Isiolo is a region where 80 per cent of the land is non-arable, primarily used for grazing.
With only five per cent of the county classified as semi-arid, 30 per cent arid, and 65 per cent very arid, agriculture here has always been a fragile venture. Kenya's agricultural sector remains a cornerstone of the nation's economic and social fabric, yet it faces numerous challenges, including low productivity, limited access to resources, and growing vulnerability to climate change.
Projections for East Africa are dire: rising temperatures, erratic rainfall, and increasingly frequent climate shocks such as droughts and floods.
