The Integrated Food Security Project is progressing well as one of the key pillars of the Ewaso Ng’iro North Integrated Water, Drought & Food Security Development Project that the authority is implementing.
The main objective of this ongoing component is improving food and nutrition security in the basin through developing irrigation and promoting the adoption of modern dryland farming and livestock production technologies.
To achieve this, ENNDA is carrying out activities such as identifying and recruiting small-scale farmers, constructing irrigation infrastructure, promoting modern farming technologies like high value and drought tolerant crops, and procuring and providing tools, equipment and inputs to farmers.
As the implementation is progressing successfully, this component is contributing to improving agricultural productivity and incomes for basin residents. It is complementing the ongoing water infrastructure development under the project, enabling the productive use of water for farming.
