Kajiado County 2020 Short Rains Food and Nutrition Security Assessment Report
KAJIADO COUNTY 2020 SHORT RAINS FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY ASSESSMENT REPORT February 2021 A Joint Report by Kenya Food Security Steering Group (KFSSG) and Kajiado County Steering Group (CSG) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The 2020 Short Rains food security assessment was carried out by the county technical team with technical support from the Kenya Food Security Steering Group (KFSSG). The overall objective of the assessment was to objectively and with evidence provide food security situation in the county in a transparent manner following the 2020 Short Rains taking into account the cumulative effect of the previous seasons. The assessment provides recommendations for possible response options based on the situation analysis upon building consensus. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used during assessment including review of the existing data provided through checklists or otherwise and triangulating with field observations as well as both community and key informants interviews. Depressed rainfall was the key driver of food security in the county which resulted in below normal regeneration of pasture, recharge of water sources and crops yields. The COVID-19 epidemic negatively affected patterns of food supply and access as well as health- seeking behaviour in the county. Livestock diseases were also an important food security driver in the county. Since May 2020, livestock prices were sustained above the Long Term Average due to the reduced supply to the markets. Following the off-season rains in early January 2021, domestic water consumption has now normalized. Nutrition status of under-fives was better for the entire year as evidenced by the below long term average risk of malnutrition of 6.8 percent. -
