From Kenya, SOLIDARITES is also coordinating programs in Afmadow and Bardera (Somalia); these programs include food security and water and sanitation interventions as well as RRM for people affected either by the long conflict of Somalia or by recurrent climatic hazards.

Presentation of the project/ programme to be evaluated

Background

Solidarités began its program in North Horr in December 2006 with funding from DFID for a 12 months project entitled “Enhance sanitary and food security conditions for North Horr population affected by drought and insecurity” which focused on improving food security, sanitation and access to water for the pastoralist communities.

This project had two components:
  • Water and sanitation activities including rehabilitation of wells, construction of rock catchments, construction of VIP latrines, hygiene promotion and distribution of mosquito nets.
  • Food security activities including camel distribution, spring development for irrigation, fodder production, and tree planting.
The second phase of this program (project title: “Strengthening livelihood support systems in Marsabit District”) began in July 2008 was completed in October 2009.

This 15 month project was mainly a continuation of activities from the first phase, but some new food security activities were added in order to consolidate the results of the first phase.

Objectives and expected results

The overall objective was to contribute strengthening livelihood systems through the identification of sustainable and appropriate solutions for arid regions in the Horn of Africa.

Most specifically, the project aimed to reinforce the resilience capacity of the local population to adapt and to resist drought and desertification in North Kenya.

Three results were expected at the end of the project:
  • Result 1: Improve access to water and sanitary conditions for the pastoralist population living in settlement.
  • Result 2: Improve the management of natural resources in drought affected area
  • Result 3: Improve the livelihood strategies to ensure maximum food security for the targeted population
Activities

In order to achieve the first result 1, the following activities were implemented:
  • Rehabilitation of 16 wells
  • Rehabilitation or construction of rainwater collection systems for 7 schools in the targeted area
  • Rock catchments & Sand dam construction
  • Construction of latrines
  • Hygiene promotion campaigns
  • Promotion and distribution of water filters targeting the most vulnerable households in the communities
