Dadaab Water, Sanitation and Health Coordination improvement project The 3 existing refugee camps in Dadaab, which were designed for 90,000 currently host 244,000 people.  Overcrowding has resulted in deterioration of basic services and increased the risk of disease outbreak.  Through this project, Oxfam will provide technical advisory and coordination support to  support existing operational agencies (UNHCR, CARE, NRC) to help ensure minimum SPHERE standard in the WASH sector are met. A field presence also positions Oxfam for the expected new camp(s) where Oxfam is expected to play a lead role in setting up WASH facilities.

Advocate for Land & Environmental Rights of Turkana & Lamu Communities in Kenya The project seeks to ensure that communities (with a key focus on grassroot women) from Taita Taveta, Turkana and Kwale counties where gemstones, gold and mineral sands respectively are mined, fully benefit from the sector's value chain and have the space to meaningfully engage private sector and government in securing benefits from these resources. The project aims to enhance land tenure security and environmental safeguards for communities living within the South Lokichar Basin in Turkana and Lamu through empowering women and young people to adequately participate in legislation, monitoring of international companies and influence county and national governments to regulate the Extractives Industries through implementation of policies. The activities will be implemented through a national level partner – CANCO (Community Action for Nature Conservation) through the Kenya Oil and Gas Working Group that advocates for and contributes to good environmental governance, conservation and sustainable use of natural resources and responsible development.  Activities will be centered on strengthening the capacity and voices of women and youth in the community through 6 awareness raising sessions conducted to sensitize communities on their land rights, Free Prior Informed Consent and ecosystem restoration through meaningful public participation, resulting in the formalization of 2 land committees within Turkana East (Nakukulas) and Turkana South (Kamarase). Additionally, 100 women and Youth will be targeted to hold capacity building sessions on the National Oil Spill Contingency Plan in Lamu. Furthermore, there will be advocacy and partnership engagements with relevant stakeholders throughout the project cycle which will involve 50 stakeholders (from National Environmental Management Authority, Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry, Ministry of Energy and Petroleum, Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning, Council of Governors, County Governments of Turkana and
Improving Access to Water and Sanitation Services in Kenya This project will empower poor and vulnerable women who live in Mukuru informal settlement to influence implementation of responsive decisions by the local governance institutions especially Nairobi City County Government. Likewise, the project will increase the number of these vulnerable women with profitable and sustainable small businesses through equipping them with entrepreneurship skills and credit facilities to enable them improve their businesses or establish new one
'Strengthening Resilience of the population living in the Arid Lands of Kenya This phase of the ECHO La Nina project will be implemented in Wajir Oxfam GB in partnership with two LNGO partners namely; ALDEF and WASDA who will directly implement activities with the target communities in the County.  These partners have experience in resilience programming, Emergency Preparedness and Response, particular within the Wajir context. This phase builds on 4 previous phases of DG ECHO investment and aims at strengthening the resilience of people in the ASALs, especially women and children, and county structures to better cope and respond to climate shocks and stress.    The Programme will consolidate outputs and outcomes realized through the most recent ECHO -funded project which ended in March 2015. The action is in line with the wider consortium five -year resilience strategy through the improvement and integration of community and county early warning systems that can trigger emergency responses. The action will also continue to strengthen the Community Disaster Management Committees (CDMCs) and particularly build linkages between the CDMCs and relevant stakeholder including County structures to implement their Community Disaster Management Plans (CDMPs). Finally, the action will strengthen the voices of the communities with ground -based advocacy and campaigns.    The action aims at achieving the following three results  1. Strengthened structures/systems for timely, reliable and relevant Early warning information to effectively trigger Early Action within the County  2. Strengthened stakeholder linkages at different levels to support communities/County to plan, prepare and respond to shocks and stresses.  3. Wajir partner (including Oxfam) with capacity to influence emergency and resilience agenda at county level    The action will be implemented in Wajir County as part of wider ASALs (Turkana, Mandera, Wajir, Marsabit, Samburu, Baringo, West Pokot), a region that has suffered from recurrent droughts and extreme climatic conditions with devastating
Kenya Drought Response, 2021 - 2024 This project intends to improve food security through multi -purpose cash assistance; improved protection for survivors of sexual gender based violence through cash assistance, medical assistance and legal recourse; improved public health outcomes through access to clean water and hygiene promotion; and improved timeliness, effectiveness and efficiency of the response through strengthened coordination with humanitarian actors, county governments and the National Drought Management Authority.
Engagement of Civil Society Organizations on Kenya's National Climate Plan This is a learning project with a key aim to understand how the Nationally Determined Contributions are at the heart of the Paris Agreement and the achievement of its long -term goals. NDCs embody efforts by each country to reduce national emissions and adapt to the impacts of climate change. It is therefore important to understand how inclusive NDC processes have been in Kenya and determine whether the quality of national climate responses can be improved through empowering understanding and engagement in NDCs by civil society, and by women, youth and indigenous peoples. The primary audience for this research is Oxfam as well as civil society, including partners of Oxfam, governments updating or implementing their NDCs, experts who are assisting governments with their NDC, donors who are providing climate finance to support conditional financial needs expressed in NDCs, policy makers and influencers.  The research will involve a mixed methods approach through an external consultant via a literature review and Key informant interviews at national & county level (Turkana, Kwale & Nairobi). The study will be carried out between June and July 2023 and a sense making workshop in August 2023.
Kenya Urban Development Programme: Employment for Youth and Water for All The project intends to alleviate the problems of extreme poverty in the urban informal settlements and inadequate service provision by generating employment and income through sustainable waste management and water services. It also envisages to build the capacities of the unemployed youths in the informal settlement and generate incomes through recycling waste and product development. Simultaneously the project intends to work closely with the Nairobi Water Company for clean, safe and affordable water provisions for the urban informal settlers.
Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) practice in Kenya This project involves analysis, advocacy and awareness building on the principle of  Free Prior Informed Consent (FPIC) in Kenya as it applies to the extractive industry in the country.
Immediate Food assistance for people of Nairobi Informal settlements The project emphasises interventions that are appropriate to the urban context. As access and affordability is the main driver of food insecurity in urban informal settlements, Oxfam GB through their partner organisations will implement cash based interventions. This is meant to offer immediate relief to target 1500 families being affected by the increase in food prices over a period of eight months. The project proposes to research and pilot delivery mechanisms for the vulnerable and especially people who can not be reached through direct cash transfers. Partners will be engaged in effective targeting of beneficiaries and monitoring.
WASH Governance Programme This project will support targeted Water Service Providers (WSPs) to expand their infrastructure (source development, storage and distribution networks expansion, increase water access points at the community) as well improve on transparency and accountability on water revenue through the use of appropriate and innovative technologies.
Hunger Safety Net.  Turkana implementation 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 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.  This project covers the implementation in Turkana district targeting 25,000 households and links to planning and coordination with other contracted component leads.
Increased resilience through integrated Disaster Risk Management System, Wajir The action has 2 result areas whose activities holistically integrate different approaches targeting systems in key sectors (Water, Nutrition, Animal Health, Governance, Advocacy and Accountability) which are fundamental in increasing the resilience of the population living in the Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASALs). These are: 1.Improved Structures / Systems capacities to prepare, mitigate, prevent risks and react and respond to emergencies appropriately and timely 2. Strengthened stakeholders linkages and coordination between communities, County, National level in disaster risk management and timely response The consortium plans to undertake strategic pilots that model the use of existing technology and infrastructure such as the Hunger Safety Network Programme (HSNP) card in delivering rapid and direct emergency preparedness and response interventions, implemented through the Government system rather than in parallel to it.
Northern Kenya Drought Preparedness Project The project is part of the 3rd ECHO regional drought preparedness funding (RDD2).  It focuses in upto 60 locations within Greater Wajir targeting upto 194,500 people.  It includes i) an emergency response component of water trucking and destocking aimed at supporting human water needs and protecting livestock assets during the present drought and ii) aims to consolidate progress achieved in the previous 12 month RDD phase.  OGB will be implementing in close collaboration with and through local partners, WASDA, ALDEF & DPA.
Enhancing Food and Income Security by Strengthening Livestock Based Livelihoods The project will contribute towards improved animal health conditions through availability of animal health services in Kaaleng, Kibish, Lapur, and Lokitaung divisions of Turkana north District. They key changes will be contribution of local capacities to effective and efficient conduits to increased coverage and access to animal health services for wider uptake by others (particularly government) promoting a functional model of inter -linked specialised actors. The project will target 11,000 men and women and  will be managed by Oxfam GB.  Funds will be spent on capacity building, technical and financial support to groups.
Sanitation in informal settlement schools (WASH Innovation Fund) Through this project 50 toilets will be constructed in 10 -15 schools reaching appropximately 2,800 children and their teachers.  Access to sanitation will contribute towards increased enrolement as well as access to basic services. As an additional component this project will develop and take to production a self contained in home urine diversion toilet.
Protracted Relief & Recovery Operation TNorth Phase III - Secondary Transport This project is part of KENC06 and KENC07. it caters for the reimbursable transport component. There are no direct beneficiaries for this component. This split is necessitated by the need to be thorough in reconciling the various components and arrangement of WFP contract  - VIZ - management cost, GIK and Secondary transport.  Overall the projects support food aid delivery to 94900 beneficiaries in Turkana north and Turkana west districts.
Protracted Relief & Recovery Operation- Support toTurkana Central Implementation The insignificant performance of 2009 -2010 rainfall coupled with the incomplete selection process of the lead agency in Turkana Central, made the targeted vulnerable people miss 3 cycles in a row.  In the light of this,WFP and Oxfam are engaged in a contract for provision of support for distribution of food commodities in Turkana central district. Oxfam will provide the required services of field monitors, field supervisors, tally clerks, and storekeepers and will also support transport of WFP commodities in Turkana central districts. A total of 112000 beneficiaries will be supported for 2 months. WFP takes the lead role in food distribution.
Strengthened and coordinated emergency response in arid lands of Kenya The consortium constitutes of 3 INGOs (OXFAM, Concern Worldwide and Transparency International and their local partners who will take a structured approach to address county based mechanisms of disaster management, resource allocation, transparency and accountability, as well as the interlinking of EW/EA systems implemented across all levels. The action will also focus on strengthening the existing structures such as specific county line Ministries, NMDA and NDOC to improve links with communities and facilitating the ongoing discussions to formalise clear roles between this national function and the County structures mandated to perform humanitarian preparedness and response.
FAIR4ALL Extractive Value Chains Kenya The project seeks to ensure that communities (with a key focus on grassroot women) from Taita Taveta, Turkana and Kwale counties where gemstones, gold and mineral sands respectively are mined, fully benefit from the sector's value chain and have the space to meaningfully engage private sector and government in securing benefits from these resources.

Wajir Emergency Food Security and Livelihoods Project The proposed intervention will benefit drought striken communities in several locations in Wajir District which are facing serious humanitarian challenges due to the impact of poor harvests, widespread death and weakening of livestock, increased food prices and diminished terms of trade for pastoralist household. The Oxfam intervention will provide cash grants over a period of 6 months in order to support household purchasing power and enabling the maintenance of basic standards of health, nutrition and livelihoods amongst highly vulnerable households..
Evaluative Research on LHL Commitments and COVID-19 in Kenya Urban resilience is a new and upcoming theme for a number of Oxfam country programmes, regions and affiliates. However, as a Confederation, Oxfam currently lacks a common understanding of urban resilience, and our Theories of Change (TOCs), tools, and approaches remain largely relevant for rural contexts given that it is where the bulk of our existing footprint is. How do we apply Oxfam's resilience definition in urban contexts? How does it look like in urban settings? A number of Oxfam country offices and partners want to engage in a participatory and empowering processes to harvest, co -create, exchange, and use knowledge and embed an appetite for collective learning. This process of generating and sharing knowledge drawn from different experiences and contexts is the basis for cross -regional knowledge exchange. It will engage more staff and partners from other locations who will be invited to join during the process. The rapid urbanization rates and incidence of disasters in many of the regions and countries that we work in is making it imperative for Oxfam to adapt, design and learn about approaches and tools that enable us to be more effective in dealing with urban resilience challenges.  Learning on past and present experiences will help us increase quality of programmes and inspire new countries and teams. Kenya program will strengthen understanding of the drivers of inequality and invest in brokering partnerships, convene wider coalitions and strengthen capacity of civil society organisations. The aim is to strengthen accountability and measure dis aggregated changes made in the lives of women and from those in society in general. This list illustrates the range of underlying ToCs informing Oxfam's approach to urban resilience.
Using food aid to stimulate markets and pastoral production Food aid in the ASALs remains necessary due to pervasive and protracted food insecurity.  It is necessary on humanitarian grounds, but does not challenge structural drivers.  This project will expand an ongoing pilot to distribute food aid through small traders and substitute protein -based commodities produced locally into the food basket, replacing imported and less prefered pulses.  It will be implemented directly by Oxfam in Turkana. In a broader partnership with SCUK, this will also be implemented in Wajir.  The project is based on action research, and will provide evidence of impact and multipliers for policy uptake and replication.
