The European Union has provided an additional EUR 13 million, (about KSh 1.69 billion) as part of its continued support towards enhancing the resilience of communities in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) to drought and other effects of climate change.
East Africa Community and ASALs Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Miano do exemplary work.
“This morning, I joined The Prime Cabinet Secretary Hon. Musalia Mudavadi, Ambassador Henriette Geiger, and European Union Parliament members among other leaders for the launch of the European Union-Funded Dryland Climate Action for Community Drought Resilience (DCADR) Project. I reaffirm our commitment to finding long-term solutions to drought emergencies and strengthening the resilience of livelihoods, especially in the ASAL areas I thank the EU for the invaluable support it has dedicated to this cause.” She notes.
The European Ambassador to Kenya Henriette Geiger said: “The project will focus on leveraging innovative partnerships to increase the scale, effectiveness, and relevance of drought preparedness, response, and recovery, with EU support.”
