The government has affirmed its commitment to ending drought emergencies in the county as it transitions into the Second Phase of the Common Programme Framework for Ending Drought Emergencies (EDE CPF II).
This is a strategic roadmap that will guide the country through to the year 2032.
Cabinet Secretary for East African Community, the ASALS and Regional Development Beatrice Askul said the framework provides a common strategy around which all stakeholders can harmonize their interventions in support of sustainable livelihoods in Arid and Semi-arid Lands (ASALs).
Speaking during a high-level consultative meeting on the draft EDE CPF II in Nairobi, Askul said the persistence of drought in the country, including the national emergency declared in the year 2021 reminds us that we still have much more to do to ensure sustainable livelihood.
