#Floods have led to the loss of human lives. The preservation and prioritization of lives and livelihoods must be a priority for national and county governments of affected counties in close collaboration with other stakeholders #floodresponse #disastermanagement

AHN calls on the government of Kenya to declare the current #floods a national disaster. The heavy rainfall has had devastating impacts to human lives and the economic & social aspects of the society. #ASAL communities bear the brunt of these extreme climate conditions.

In a world grappling with water scarcity, it’s critical that we use every drop 💧 wisely. Luckily, small-scale farmers are up to the challenge. ow.ly/my7o50Rp09M

This Lady is saying something we all need to listen to..

Community rangers are key frontline conservation workers, playing a critical role in conserving our wildlife outside protected areas. Their work goes beyond deterrence - they educate the public, raise awareness, conduct research, and build strong relationships with communities.

Earlier today, PACIDA joined the County Government of Samburu and other partners to mark the #InternationalPeaceDay2024 . The event was held in Sereolipi, the beautiful village nestled in Waso Ward, Samburu County. The theme of the event was "cultivating a culture of peace"...

"This means replacing division, dis-empowerment and despair with justice, equality and hope for all. The event was graced by Samburu Governor H. E Lati Lelelit who made an impassioned call to communities in the county to harmoniously co-exist and uphold peace. NCIC Kenya

Climate crisis affects every part of life, including #SRHR. Abdiah Lalaikipian from PACIDA shares how it challenges community resilience & health systems, highlighting the power of multi-sectoral partnerships in advancing climate justice and sustainable SRHR solutions.

Ipas Africa Alliance partnered with the Pastoralist Community Initiative and Development Assistance (PACIDA) and the Samburu County Government to assess how the climate crisis is affecting SRHR services in Samburu County, Kenya.

The report on this was presented by PACIDA, Global Communities and Intrahealth at the Global Health Practitioner Conference 2024 - Drought, Disaster and Hope: Addressing the Impacts of Climate Change on East Africa Pastoralist Communities through Research and Innovation.

A hundred (100) farmers group members from Samburu East & West, Samburu County had a reason to smile when they received certified drought-resistant seeds & tools from PACIDA to address food insecurity in the county. This was supported by Caritas Germany under the GFFO Project.

Kenya’s ASALs, 70% of Kenya’s landmass, & home to over 10M people face recurrent shocks like droughts, causing food insecurity. From 2018-2023, USAID partnership for resilience and economic growth (PREG) reduced food insecurity in Nothern Kenya by 10.4%. #COP29 #ClimateAction
