Hunger Safety Net - National Coordination, Planning, Quality and Influencing Oxfam GB has been contracted to manage the design and implementation of the ‘administrative' component of the pilot Hunger Safety Net in 4 arid districts (Mandera, Turkana, Wajir, Marsabit) of Northern Kenya.  This brings into effect a means to ensure predictable and guaranteed transfers of cash -based entitlements over a 4 year period to people identified as being the most poor and vulnerable to hunger and targets in total 60,000 households.

Kenya Programme Resources Management Project Oxfam's third strategic direction requires that flexible organisational ways of working be put in place to support effective and innovative programming to achieve pro -poor changes in a time bound, and efficient manner. PIP P00494 was set up to take forward this strategic direction.The Kenya programme will among other initiatives consider  decentralization of decision -making, joint planning and most importantly enhancing flexibility of business systems. This project therefore takes forward this strategic direction by providing a structured and systematic means of mopping and reallocating resources across various country priority initiatives.
La Nina Consortium V - National Coordination Oxfam is the lead agency of an established consortium of 5 INGOs (Oxfam, Concern Worldwide, VSF -Germany, ACTED and Transparency International Kenya) and their local partners who have knowledge and experience in Arid Lands and resilience programming.

It will also support  four water infrastructure rehabilitation that were affected due to climate related impacts to ensure access to water for both human and livestock use. Conflicts over resources  increase during droughts and this project will work with the different communities along the boarders to promote peace and coexistence, sharing of resource even during calamities.  Oxfam and PGI  with  funding from SIDA RRM  HPA III Yr 4 (24 -25) will deliver an integrated lifesaving response reaching 7,920 individuals, 5076 located in Tana River and 2844 in Garissa, who have been impacted by sudden onset crisis caused by flooding. The response will focus on vulnerable mixed populations, which include internally displaced persons (IDPs)  particularly those recently on the move, as well as host communities, through a needs -based approach.   The integrated response includes interventions focused on cash to access to basic needs, safe water and sanitation facilities, as well as protection measure through a gender sensitive approach. This integrated response ensures a wholistic intervention to meet the urgent lifesaving needs of affected communities, maximizing the impact and effectiveness.   The most significant impact of the project lies in the immediate access to food, clean water and protection services for 780 vulnerable households through multi -purpose cash assistance (MPCA), and the urgent reactivation of 20 community -based protection committees to strengthen protection mechanisms and facilitate referrals for survivors of violence and abuse during an onset crisis.

Drought Emergency response in Arid areas in Kenya 2011 (La Nina) The arid lands of Kenya are facing deteriaration in humanitarian situation because of a prolonged dry spell, caused by a weather -related La NIna phenomenon, threatening lives and liveslihoods of over 3 million people. Meteorologic data indicates there is a high likelihoods for failure or under performing long rains in 2011.  In order to cope with the increasing stress, pastoralists have started migrating in search of scarce water and pasture, sometimes crossing international boundaries. , the prolonged drought has led to increasing food prices2, worsening the food security situation of already vulnerable populations.
Dadaab Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) project  -IFO2 and Host Community The aim of the project is to conduct feasibility and develop a mobile phone based health promotion application for Somalia.

The Kenya Cash consortium response to desert locusts in Arid and Semi Arid Kenya Oxfam will work through its local partners with an objective of safeguarding the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable communities in the desert locusts affected areas. Oxfam will strengthen the community led surveillance in the three counties of Wajir, Garissa, Marsabit and Tana River. This will be done by creating monitoring and alerting the government agencies on the presence of locusts so as the government response teams can target and eradicate the locusts by conducting aerial spraying. The communities will be sensitized on pest control measures, including information and precautions around insecticide usage. Information from technical experts in Food and Agricultural Organisations (FAO) will be circulated amongst at -risk -communities through text message, radio broadcasts and community barazas (meetings) in advance of the insecticide spraying measures. Where necessary these messages will be translated into local languages.  A two month cycle of multipurpose cash transfer assistance will be provided to 1000 households that were affected by the locusts.  900 households will be targeted for a one off cash transfer to support the farmers who are affected by the locusts in Garissa county.  With funds received from KClub for April and IBIS for May and June 2020 Oxfam through the local Arid and Semi -Arid Lands (ASAL) Humanitarian Network partners will implement community led surveillance in five counties of Garissa, Isiolo, Samburu, Turkana and Marsabit. The local Partners will identify with local authorities, the areas (ward/village/community level) affected by locusts swarms within the counties of Samburu, Garissa, Isiolo and Turkana working closely with the desert locust control centres. Sensitize communities about the stage of development of desert locust's swarms. Work with communities to report the location of swarms and their stage of development (instar) i.e. adult stage and hopper bands in the nymphal stages. This will be done through text message and geo -locat
