Deadline: 25-May-25
The World Food Programme (WFP) has been actively working in Turkana County to enhance food security, build community resilience, and promote sustainable livelihoods.
WFP’s initiatives have focused on cash-based transfers, food assistance, building climate-resilient food systems, and capacity-building programmes to empower communities to manage natural resources effectively. WFP is implementing Climate-Resilient Food Systems (CRFS) Hubs in Turkana County as part of its broader strategy to enhance food security and resilience.
The project will focus on rehabilitating degraded lands, improving soil and water conservation, and promoting climate-smart agricultural practices to restore ecological balance and support sustainable livelihoods. By implementing ecosystem restoration measures, WFP seeks to enhance resilience against climate change, ensure food security, and provide alternative livelihood opportunities for communities dependent on natural resources.
This initiative aligns with WFP’s commitment to building climate-resilient food systems and fostering long-term sustainability in Turkana West. WFP is therefore seeking a 12-month partnership with a local organization to implement ecosystem restoration activities in one ward near refugee-hosting areas in Turkana West.
