Early Warning Bulletins
National monthly drought update - July 2020
The body condition of all species of livestock remained good across ASAL counties. The improvement in livestock body condition was attributed to the availability of adequate pasture and browse and short trekking distances from grazing areas to water points. However, ongoing locust invasion in Turkana, Marsabit, and Samburu is projected to cause significant damage to forage and crops.
SRA Food security assessment - 2019
The population facing acute food insecurity and consequently requiring humanitarian assistance has declined significantly to 1.3 million and who are classified in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and Emergency (IPC Phase 4). The decline from 2.6 million people identified during the long rains’ assessment denotes overall improvement in food security situation across the 23 ASAL counties. The situation is expected to improve further during the upcoming long rains season despite a looming threat from desert locust. The pastoral and agro-pastoral counties reported great improvement in both environmental and productive indicators. Pasture and browse are at an all-time high following good regeneration and expected to last up to the next season.
