description Despite the significant progress made in addressing food insecurity and malnutrition in Kenya, the problem remains pervasive in Turkana. At the same time, threats of climate change and other risk like covid -19 have worsened the bleak situation beyond its adaptive limits. Therefore, a genuine need for building interventions that are both responsive to local contexts and resilient to ensure long-term development is apparent. This requires the recognition of indigenous resources including local knowledge to be factored in the design of interventions to enhance the resilience of the communities. Against this background, the Impro-Co Diet Project applied the Participatory Approach for Diet and Farm Diversity developed by Bioversity International in Vihiga to support the communities to enhance their resilience and transition healthier, more diverse diets.
