BookletIncreasing sustainable livestock productivity for healthier diets in arid and semi-arid lands in Kenya
Investment case
2024Also available in:
No results found.In Kenya, the livestock sector accounts for an estimated 4.4 percent of the country's GDP but it employs about 50 percent of the agriculture labour force, alongside other jobs created along value chains. While livestock production in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) has high potential for improving the livelihoods of pastoral households, its contribution towards national development is largely underestimated and receives less attention. Pastoralist food systems suffer from diminished natural resources and extreme weather conditions resulting in spikes of food insecurity and acute malnutrition. This investment case portrays the multiple social, economic and health benefits derived from sustainably increasing the productivity of milking animals among pastoralist communities, especially with the engagement of women as agents of change and caregivers. It provides entry points to remove barriers for upscaling this type of investment, taking into account the needs for climate change adaptation and mitigation in pastoralist settings.
