Kenya - Ewaso N'giro North Natural Resources Conservation Project (ENNNRCP)

The Ewaso Ng’iro North Natural Resources Conservation Project (ENNNRCP) hosts the poorest districts in Kenya. The project meets the government objective of improving the quality of life for the population in the ASALs and is in line with the Bank’s strategy of promoting the efficient management of natural resources with the objective of reducing poverty. It is complementary to and enhance the impact of the other current major Bank-funded initiative in the agricultural sector, namely the ASAL-Based Livestock and Rural Livelihoods Support Project, as well as donor activities in adjacent districts. The project comprises three components: (i) Water Resources Development and Management; (ii) Participatory Catchment Conservation, (iii) Project Coordination and Capacity Building. It will be implemented over a period of 6 years.
