| Summary: | 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. |
