KFSSG Long Rains Assessment Report, 2008
While Kenya has witnessed significant economic recovery over the last five years, resulting from implementation of farmer-oriented and other wide-ranging policies, a significant and growing proportion
of the population suffers chronic and acute food insecurity. In this regard, the Government of Kenya, humanitarian partners and donors have in recent years engaged, to address chronic food insecurity by employing developmental multi-sectoral approaches that support re-building of livelihoods and their resilience.
However, it is recognized that although a number of interventions have been instituted, based on recommendations from previous assessments, implementation of non-food interventions have been slow, scattered and inadequate to achieve the desired impact. On the contrary, while the food sector has been quick and reliable in providing relief, ample evidence has demonstrated that this option alone is an inappropriate alternative to development-oriented interventions as illustrated by findings from the 2008 long rains assessments, among six livelihood clusters.
