Elnino Flood Response in Samburu operational Grant The Kenya Meteolological department predicted  El Nino rains to come from mid October.  The, rains started at the end of October and caused heavy flooding that reached a peak on the 2nd of November. Samburu County is one of the worst effected regions in Kenya, and has been selected as we have a strong presence through local partners that will enable a timely response. In Samburu County, the most affected areas are Samburu East and North sub-counties. Phone discussions with local community leaders has provided a total of 9023 people having been affected at the villages of Lerata, Tangar, Noit, Anderi, Naisunyai and Laparaan . A spike in rainfall is projected due to the ongoing El Nino rains and Samburu county may become affected with  a further population of 9366 people being displaced in other locations that have not be badly hit at the moment. No major support has reached the community except  the rescue missions by the helicopter from the Ormalo Ranch that rescued 8 people that had been swept away in their vehicle.
The funding from Caritas Australia in addition to CAFOD funding(CGF &GEF) will come in handy in adressing the immediate needs of affected population of 6,076 people in the worst affected villages of Anderi, Laparan, Noit and Tangar in Samburu North and Lerata and  Naisunyai in Samburu East, supporting them with food, NFIs, and water treatment chemicals. 
This is a 45day project implementation following Start Model with a reporting period of one month
ISIOLO INTEGRATED FOOD SECURITY PROJECT PHASE II This project will directly target 240 pastoral and agro-pastoral households with a total population 1200 individuals (480 males and 720 females) in Isiolo County. The beneficiaries comprise rural pastoralists and agro-pastoralists drawn from 4 locations namely Kinna, Merti, Oldonyiro and Leparua. These areas are targeted primarily because of its high vulnerability to socio-economic crises manifested by livelihood and food insecurity, environmental degradation and malnutrition. In the past, it has noted that beneficiaries of such interventions end up sharing the inputs with other under privileged families with the context of the traditional social support mechanism, thereby increasing the number of direct and indirect beneficiaries. In this arrangement, this project is anticipated to reach up to 1,800 people. The target group includes highly vulnerable members including the disabled, elderly people, women headed households and people living with HIV/AIDS. The beneficiaries will be selected through an inclusive community-based targeting approach using vulnerability criteria. The following will be considered during the identification of the beneficiaries:
•	Access to social support networks- Priority will be given to households with no external social support.
•	Female headed households
•	Number of members in a household
•	Households caring for a disabled person
•	Households supporting elderly and/or infirm persons
•	Young orphan-headed households caring for siblings
•	Vulnerability to climate change 

The targeting was arrived through needs assessment carried out involving community opinion leaders, government officers, religious leaders, nongovernmental organizations and community members. A needs assessment was carried out and it informed on the different needs for men women boys and girls on the following; conflict, livelihoods, health and nutrition, water, disaster risk reduction and governance status in the County. After analysis, the needs lying in the people of Isiolo County were prioritized as: food security, health and nutrition, environment conservation and water. 
Based on the analysis done, the project will focus its resources at women, children and youth.  The rationale behind this is that women are the ones who are affected most and are vulnerable to shocks. Further, there will be an emphasis to identify female and child headed households, being groups in society that are often unattended to by communities. The youth have been targeted to support in establishment of livelihoods for future generations who have not been fully engaged in economic activities such as farming and trade in the region.  The youth are also intended to provide linkages to markets due to their agile nature.
Integrated Food Security II Project - Caritas Homa This is phase 2 of the Integrated Food Security Project (IFSP 2) in Homa Bay Diocese, being implemented in Homa Bay and Migori Counties (KENYA).  In this second phase the IFS Project targets to reach people and communities in three sub counties of: Homabay, Rangwe and Ndhiwa .  

A total of 1,500 direct beneficiaries (600 males and 900 (female) will be reached over three years by 2021. 

In IFSP phase II, Caritas Homa Bay aims to alleviate food poverty by intensifying support to targeted communities using an integrated approach with components of: Capacity building for target communities through awareness creation, skills training and strengthening governance and management systems; Livelihoods strategies tailored towards sustainable agriculture and food security and environmental conservation; Women and gender development strategies that seek to promote empowerment of men, women, boys and girls to ensure integral human development; Information, research and advocacy to enhance project visibility and strengthen advocacy; and influencing pro-poor policies’ formulation by authorities including the County Governments of Homa Bay

This community led project for people affected and infected by HIV aims to alleviate Food security and HIV vulnerability through organised groups.

Maralal HCD Programme 2015 CAFOD will support Diocese of Maralal through provision of grant to develop a new strategic Plan and establish a consolidated HR manual.  Diocese of Maralal will develop these documents through consulting with staff, organisational management and ensuring activate participation of all stakeholders.  It is expected that this process will improve relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders, build teamwork, bring coherence to different projects and parts of the organisation, ensuring they are pulling together.
Katama Dam project in Kitui Supported by Five Talents UK To conduct an assessment with the community in Katama in Kitui, Kenya. The baseline survey will seek to identify
the community's desired outcomes of the water project, history of interventions and why these failed and the
community’s willingness to contribute (labour and basic materials). The dam survey will identify the best solution
(whether to use the existing dam or a new site) and refine the technical details. These two assessments will be
detailed by CAFOD in a report to EDCDT and Five Talents UK before the next steps for the project are agreed by
all parties.
The project will focus on providing a working earth dam for the community in Katama. Depending on the results
of the assessment, this will either be by creating a new dam, or improving an existing dam that is currently not
working.
Diocese of Marsabit Drought Relief Project This is a 3 month emergency intervention which will contribute to alleviate the suffering of the hunger stricken communities as a result of the impact of the current drought in Greater Marsabit. This is the second consecutive year of severe drought in the area. The situation has recently worsened even further due to the total failure of the long rains (March-May 2009). 

Marsabit is one of the regions in Kenya which has not experienced expected rains during the short rainy season between October and December 2009.

The activities in this proposal include the following:

a) Supplementary feeding program targeting 1,500 under five and 950 pregnant and lactating women. The beneficiaries will be accessed through five health centres in North Horr, Maikona, Kargi, Liyangallani and Diriba Gombo. UNIMX and Oil supplementary food will be distributed once a month at 100% food ratio since the expected rains did not fall and the situation remains an emergency situation. Monthly MUAC data will be collected from children under five to determine the nutrition/health condition. 

b) Purchase and distribution of essential medicine will be done through the same health clinics to ensure that targeted beneficiaries nutrition condition is not affected by health conditions. In particular medicine will concentrate on addressing diarrhoea diseases and cholera which are common in the area.

c) Water sanitation and hygiene promotion for 20,000 individuals will also be done aimed at helping the population change negative hygiene practices. This will be done through disseminating key hygiene messages and hygiene promotions campaigns in the same health centres targeted above plus 10 schools. In the schools, child to child hygiene promotion will be done.
Kenya Green Energy Research Case Study This research will focus specifically on the greenhouse component of the green energy project which aimed to increase the income of women through women’s groups growing horticultural produce in greenhouses (tomatoes) in Kenya. The energy component in these projects was water pumping using solar energy to the greenhouses.  Due to resource and time constraints, the research will focus on greenhouse installations in Kitui county. 
The broad objective is to better understand the model(s) used, to capture learning, and to reflect on the if/how the model could be improved. We also would like to use the CAFOD/IIED Energy Delivery Model (EDM)’ approach (see http://pubs.iied.org/16551IIED/) to help to do this analysis. These objectives can be broken down as follows:
•Understand the project design and business model(s) used for delivering increased income to women through the green houses project – including stakeholders involved, detailed understanding of the business model and value chain, & differences in the model across different sites
•Analysis of the factors that have appeared to contribute to success (including ongoing financial, social and environmental sustainability), as well as challenges faced. This to include better understanding the enabling environment for the projects as well as socio-cultural factors which influenced the design and implementation of the project and/or are currently influencing its success. 
•Reflection on if/how the model could be improved for the future
•Use the CAFOD/IIED energy delivery model approach as a reflective tool to analyse an existing energy service
Linking Preparedness, survivor-led emergency response, well-being and long-term resilience Marsabit Research from many different countries is revealing the extent to which crisis-affected communities are not only always the first-responders when disaster strikes, but often the most significant. Efforts are therefore being made to understand how the current norm of externally-led humanitarian interventions can be transformed into an approach that starts by maximising the impact of the survivor-led response. Not only can this be more responsive, quicker, more efficient and more holistic – it can also contribute to better psycho-social recovery and build and not undermine long-term community resilience. Furthermore, it also provides the chance to strengthen longer term resilience and help communities to start tackling root causes.
The LPRR research revealed 6 key lessons which can inform our  efforts to improve emergency response: (1) enable the community to co-run the response, (2) include psycho-social support, (3) remember the importance of community cohesion (togetherness) and good communication, (4) coordinate with other organisations and where possible work with the government or authorities (or advocate for rights) (5)  identify and start to address the root causes, (6) include livelihoods and income generation immediately to empower, enable ‘power within’, give hope and avoid aid dependency.
Under this proposed pilot project in Marsabit, we seek to build upon the gains of the recent drought emergency programme and assist local, drought-affected communities to improve their future resilience.  It aims to do this through the following objectives;
i.	Giving micro-grants to active groups to improve the resilience of the drought-affected communities
ii.	Capacity building of the micro-grant groups in line with the identified gaps
Integrated Food Security Project Phase II The programme succeeds the integrated food security project implemented between 2014 to 2017. The second phase will build on phase 1  experience . Integration of interventions is the core approach to delivering this programme through holistic provision of services that will give communities dignified and stable livelihoods. The programme will integrate main component of livelihood, Disaster risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate change and Adaptation, advocacy and governance. Cross cutting issues will also be considered; these are, gender, social inclusion, accountability, complaint handling and child protection. 
The transitional phase of this project 2021/2022 will respond to the current drought experienced in Marsabit as well as early recovery . It will target 3 villages, 5 strategic boreholes and the Integrated Food Security Project(IFSP) sites:  The villages are; Adhi Huka, Kambi Nyoka, Dololo Dokatu. The Boreholes are KubiQalo, Dololo Dokatu, Kambi Nyoka, Lengima and Shurr Boreholes. The IFSP sites are; Badassa, Leyai and Shurr. The direct beneficiaries will include men, women and youths in these villages. The vulnerable section of the community such as poor, elderly, female-headed households, persons living with disabilities will be deliberately targeted.
Emergency Supplementary Feeding Project. This is a supplementary feeding project aimed at at children under five, pregnant and lactating women. In the project site areas, the have been a long spell of drought and famine which is expected to end by the end of March / April 2010. Until then there remains a need for emergency food support in the three months period which would be classified as the hunger gap period.
Sustainable Development Goals County Dialogue &  High-level Political Forum Support Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development was adopted by UN Member States in September 2015.

Caritas Kenya continues to  amplify voice of community and Church in addressing critical sustainability issues such as poverty, climate change, inequality, economic development, ecosystem protection and Agenda 2030 implementation processes. This grant is to facilitate CARITAS Kenya engagement at national, county and input into SDG's high political forum meeting July 2017
Linking Preparedness, survivor-led emergency response, well-being and long-term resilience Isiolo This project aims to aim to improve the socio-economic situation of households are facing extreme hardship due to the collapse of livelihoods attributed to among other disasters such as drought, conflict, and fires. The households can hardly meet basic needs, have lost resilience and therefore need external help to be able to recover. Its specific objectives are:
•To improve socio-economic wellbeing of 300 poor and vulnerable households in Isiolo County through increased access to mini-grants.
•To enable 300 poor and vulnerable households to comprehensively embrace approach during the crisis to lead and manage their own immediate emergency (well-being) responses in ways that can strengthen long-term resilience and contribute to transformational change in the community.
Strengthening advocacy for resilience through environmental conservation & sustainable agricultural In the spirit of "our common home" strategy and envisioning Kenya Resilience Programme, Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) has proposed  “Strengthening advocacy for resilience and poverty eradication through environmental conservation and sustainable agricultural productivity” to be implemented by the Catholic Justice and Peace  Department (KCCB-CJPD) both at the national level and in seven (7) Counties. The project seeks to understand policy provisions and targets to engage state and non-state actors on environmental and natural resources management and empower local communities to engage both national and county governments through advocacy - Citizen Voices and Actions. 
The project seeks to build resilient communities in the wake of lost livelihoods, food insecurity and unending disasters that have lately been witnessed including the COVID-19 disruptions and effects of climate change. The communities will take a lead role in enhancing an enabling environment for achieving optimum involvement of citizens in decision-making processes as provided for in the Constitution of Kenya of 2010. KCCB will harness the influence of county advocacy groups and religious leaders to help achieve this aim. The project will also take advantage of already established advocacy groups (citizen oversight structures) in these counties to lead advocacy initiatives
Kutoka Network:  Sauti Kutoka ghetto - Boresha Maisha This  is a grant that will begin  the  combination/ intergration of  Kutoka  network  and  St.  John's Sports  society activities that are  all  under the  St.  Johns  Parish  in Korogocho   both initiatives are geared  towards  an integral human development through  sports and media.
St. John Sports Society is an initiative of St. John's Christian Community which has served communities in Korogocho beyond the spiritual needs over the last 20 years. Korogocho is a low-income, informal settlement with around 100,000 people located in the Kasarani Constituency of East Nairobi and is divided into nine villages inhabited by people from across all Kenyan communities, with most of them living below the poverty line.  

Kutoka Network is a voluntary gathering of Catholic Parishes and organisations working and ministering to people living in various Nairobi informal settlements. Founded in 2002, the Network looks at the problems affecting the people in the slums, with the eyes of the Gospel. The aim of the network is to analyse the reality of the slums, to share experiences, to reflect together on the pastoral approach, to plan common initiatives and actions and to highlight positive aspects of the slum realities. Most of  the ctions lobby the government and other stakeholders to find together with the slums dwellers the solutions to the problems affecting our communities. 

The St. John Sports Society, Korogocho (SSS)'s goal is to promote an integral human development with a focus to developing the sporting potential among the youth and women thereby helping them access opportunities beyond Korogocho.  Its main focus is on human formation and community work. Through SSS's formation programmes the members develop certain acceptable ethical and societal norms, and qualities which help them integrate with the whole society without difficulties. Values such as teamwork, tolerance, forgiveness and reconciliation, self-esteem and self-discipline, morality, commitment and hard work, zero tolerance to corruption and discrimination of any form are encouraged and developed during the formation programmes. 

The SSS operates on certain lessons learnt in working in the slums of Korogocho. These include, that sports has a potential to rehabilitate youths in a slum setting making them reformed and more productive members of the society; and that the slums have tremendously talented sports men and women who only lack exposure  and support.

This phase of the radio programme has been shaped by the findings of the programme impact survey that recommended the need to network with other media houses on issues of the slums, have a more coordinated approach to programme production and presentation at Radio Waumini, develop a workable Kutoka Network media strategy, continuously monitor the listenership and feedback from listeners, as well as training the slum reporters and the programme presenter to improve the quality of  slum reporting.
