About Oxfam in Kenya: Oxfam works with the most vulnerable communities in the dry and remote northern regions, and in the impoverished slums of the capital, Nairobi.
Oxfam envisages a Kenya in which each individual, regardless of gender, religion, ethnicity, or social standing, can access basic services, can fully participate and be heard, and can make free and informed choices to build sustainable livelihoods and resilience to external shocks.
Since starting work in Kenya in 1963, Oxfam has: provided long-term development aid and emergency relief, promoted peace and managed conflicts between communities and campaigned for better governance and equitable access to services
About the Project: Oxfam is working through partners and in collaboration with two partners (ALDEF) Arid Lands Development Focus – Kenya and (WASDA) Wajir South Development Association.
Oxfam and partners are working in Wajir County, Kenya, on a 3 year UK Aid funded project ‘Strengthening Community Resilience in Wajir’.
The programme is anchored in Vision 2030, the country’s development framework and blue print particularly the 3rd foundation on enhanced equity and wealth creation opportunities for the poor, with an emphasis that no society can gain the social cohesion if significant sections of the population live in abject poverty.
The project aims to strengthen resilience of over 24,000 people in 10 wards in Wajir including 11,000 women.
The project is currently approaching the end of its 2nd year of implementation.
Numerous milestones have so far been achieved. Fodder production is one key physical output under this project, as well support to women meat producers and traders; the project has provided training to women traders to improve hygiene standards, and business and financial management skills.
Close linkages and collaboration continues to be fostered with the County Government for improved Disaster Risk Reduction county plans and budgets.
Assignment Objective
To tell success stories through photographs, video clips and short written stories of the Strengthening Community Resilience in Wajir.
To document experiences across project beneficiaries with an aim of promoting the adoption of the resilience strengthening approaches for sustainable livelihoods through market development and fodder production for the poor men and women living in marginalized lands in Kenya and beyond.
To serve as a visual monitoring tool that clearly depicts the impact of the project activities.
