Pastoralists keep all species of livestock – cattle, goats and sheep and to a smaller extent, camels. Crop farming is practiced for both subsistence and commercial purposes in all districts in the cluster.

In Baringo and West Pokot, commercial production of maize (including seed) and some horticulture in the Perkerra and Weiwei irrigation schemes is practiced respectively. Formal employment/business/trade is carried out in the major towns in all the districts. Full report
