BARINGO COUNTY 2017 SHORT RAINS FOOD SECURITY ASSESSMENT REPORT A joint report by the Kenya Food Security Steering Group (KFSSG)1 and the Baringo County Steering Group February 2018 1 Fredrick Aloo (Ministry of Agriculture Livestock and Fisheries) and 2Lydiah Wachuka (Ministry of Health) Baringo County is classified as Stressed (IPC) Phase two. The mixed farming and irrigated livelihood zones have remained in the Minimal (IPC) Phase one, while the Pastoral and Agro- Pastoral livelihood zone have remained in the Stressed (IPC) Phase 2. This situation is attributed to the good performance of the short rains which was characterized by timely onset, above normal rains but its cessation was untimely. The commodity prices have increased, where a kilogram of maize was trading at Ksh. 52 compared to long term average (LTA) of Ksh.43. The average goat prices have reduced to Ksh. 2,461 compared to the five-year average of Ksh. 2,928. Access to food is hampered by increasing maize prices and declining livestock prices. Terms of trade (ToT) are currently below normal and households are purchasing 48 Kg of maize from the sale of a goat compared to long term average (LTA) of 50Kg. Low livestock prices have contributed to low purchasing power for food commodities whose prices are high The pasture and browse condition is fair in mixed farming and irrigated livelihood zones but poor and depleting at a first rate in agro-pastoral and pastoral livelihood zones respectively. The situation has been further aggravated by the infestation of fall army warm in farms which resulted in significant reduction of maize output in mixed farming, irrigated and agro pastoral livelihood zones by about 60 percent. Food stocks at household level have considerably declined especially in the pastoral and agro pastoral livelihood zones where 90 percent of the households depend on the markets. Conflicts have resulted in disruption and even closure of markets. The food security situation in the pastoral and agro-pastoral zones is expected to deteriorate further in view of the prevailing conditions of deteriorating forage and declining amounts in water sources. Return distances between the water sources and grazing areas is 15 kilometres which is longer than the normal distance of 10 kilometres in pastoral livelihood zone, while households are currently walking a distance of about 8 kilometres compared to 4 kilometres normally thereby limiting access to domestic water sources. The proportion of children at risk of malnutrition is generally above the normal threshold for the last five years across the livelihoods. From the month of October 2017, the trend has been worsening and in January 2018 it stood at 18.5 percent. The worsening trend can be attributed to low milk availability at the household level and minimal stocks within households. The trend is expected to worsen further until the onset of the long rains. There was a slight improvement in dietary diversity, nutritive value and food frequency in the county compared to a similar period last year. The proportion for the households which had acceptable food consumption score was 70 and 59 percent in Baringo north and Tiaty sub counties respectively. This is in comparison to those who had poor food consumption score at 6.7 and 25.6 percent in Baringo north and Tiaty sub counties respectively in the month of January 2018 as compared to 17 and 52 percent respectively in December 2017. The mean coping strategy index for the month of January 2018 is 15.74, which represents an increase when compared to the coping strategy index of the previous month that was 13.13 but still within normal coping strategies for stressed household of using less preffered and or less expensive foods but doing better than same period in 2017 with a CSI of 20. 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 County background Baringo County borders Turkana and Samburu Counties to the North, Laikipia to the East, Nakuru and Kericho to the South, Uasin Gishu to the South West, and Elgeyo - Marakwet and West Pokot to the West. The County covers an area of 11,015.3 square kilometers (Km) with an estimated population of 555,561 persons (Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, 2009 census report). The County has 4 lakes (Lake Baringo, Lake Bogoria and Lake Kamnarok and Lake 94) covering an approximate 165 Km. The County has six (6) sub Counties namely: Mogotio, Baringo North, Baringo Central, East Pokot, Koibatek, and Baringo South. The County is divided into four livelihood zones (LZ) namely, Mixed Farming, Pastoral, Agro Pastoral and Irrigated Cropping. The proportion of the population in each livelihood is 43, 31, 22 and 4 percent respectively (Figure 1). 1.2 Objectives and approach The main objective was to analyze the impact of 2017 short rains season (October, November and December) on food and nutrition security, taking into account the cumulative effect of previous seasons, and to provide immediate and medium term recommendations for possible response options based on the situation. The food security assessment for the County was conducted from 5th to 9th January 2017 using a multi-sectoral approach. All the four livelihood zones were covered during the assessment and the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) used to classify severity and causes of food insecurity which has the ability to compare across time and space. The process started by gathering data using sectoral checklists coupled with conducting a minimum of two market interviews, two focused group community interviews and two key informant interviews in each livelihood zone. Triangulation of data was enhanced by visiting health and education institutions to gather applicable data. Field observations were also undertaken during transects drives to obtain qualitative data. The field data was collated, reviewed, analyzed and triangulated which resulted to the county food security assessment report whose preliminary findings were disseminated to CSG during debriefing meeting. 2.0 DRIVERS OF FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY IN THE COUNTY 2.1 Rainfall Performance The onset of the short rains season was in the second dekad of October which was timely. Most parts across the county including pastoral-all species, agro-pastoral, mixed farming received above- normal rainfall of between 125-200 percent of normal (Figure 2). However, some parts of pastoral all species around Nginyang in Tiaty received 50-70 percent of normal. Spatial distribution was even while temporal distribution was fair. Cessation was in the second dekad of December which is earlier. Normally rains end in the third dekad of December. Figure 1: Rainfall performance in Baringo County 2.2 Insecurity Insecurity has been reported along the borders of East Pokot sub-county with Marakwet East, Baringo North and Baringo South sub-counties and also in Kapedo along the border with Turkana County. Pastoralists have not been able to access pasture in these areas and have therefore been forced to move farther away. 2.3 Other Shocks and Hazards A fall army worm out-break was reported in all livelihood zones across the county and have significantly led to reduction by about 60 percent of the normal production. The impact of fall army worm has resulted to low stock levels in households at 48 percent of the Long Term Average. Food prices have increased and they are expected to increase further until the next harvest in JulyAugust. Livestock prices are below-average amid high food commodity prices. Household purchasing power has been eroded Most households about 90 percent are currently relying on market purchases for food in the agro-pastoral and pastoral-all species livelihood zones. Foot and Mouth (FMD) disease outbreak was reported in Rongai sub-county in neighbouring Nakuru County, there were suspected cases in Tirioko. Contagious caprine pleuropneumonia (CCPP) reported in pastoral and agro pastoral livelihood zones of Koloa in Tiaty,Barwesa and Saimosoi in Baringo North,Salawa in Baringo Central. Cases of heart water were reported in Amaya and Churo. 3.0 IMPACTS OF DRIVERS ON ACUTE FOOD AND NUTRITION SECURITY 3.1 Availability The food availability in the county is from own agricultural production, markets which rely on local production, net food imports and livestock production. The 2017 short rains harvests were affected by offseason rains which impacted on the area planted as farmers had already planted, therefore the acreage for the short rains reduced. The fall army worm infestation reduced the production further. Also early cessation of the short rains and high temperatures affected crop and livestock production thus exposing households to market dependency. Conflicts such as cattle rustling resulted in market disruptions. Current food stocks available in the mixed livelihood zones are insufficient to sustain the households for the next three months and will have to rely on markets. While pastoral and agro pastoral livelihood zones will rely on interventions. 3.1.1. Crop production The short rains (October, November, and December) supplements the harvest from the Long rains season which is the most dependable for crop production in Baringo County. The main crops grown include maize, beans, finger millet and Irish potatoes. Upland rice is grown in Marigat sub-county. Maize contributes about 63 percent of food to household in the agro pastoral livelihood zones and while in the irrigated zones, commercial maize contributes about 31 percent food. In the mixed farming maize contributes 21 percent of food. Rain-fed crop production The acreage under cultivation for maize and beans reduced by 81 percent and 66.5 percent below the Long-Term average respectively. Consequently, the expected production for maize and beans is projected to be 93.5 percent and 62 percent below the Long-Term average respectively (Table 1). This is attributed to the fact that most farms had crops established from the off-season rains (July-August-September. Incidences of Fall Army Worms (FAW) which was experienced across the county during the long rains of 2017 also contributed to the low establishment of maize crop under the short rains as farmers were advised not to plant maize so as to break the FAW cycle. However, in mixed farming livelihood zone of Mochongoi ward the area under Irish potatoes increased by 12 percent of the Long-Term Average, this is attributed to the good price that prevailed in the previous season. Table 1: Rain-fed (3 major crops) Crop Area Long Term 2017 Short rains Long Term Average planted Average season production during during area planted production the Short rains 2017 Short during the Short (90 kg bags) season rains rains season (Ha) ProjectedActual (90 kg bags) season 1.

Finger millet 10 60 40 330 4.Irish Potatoes 1355 1212 12995 16932 Irrigated crop production The area under irrigation for maize, tomatoes, water melons and green grams increased by 50, 10 , 47.6 and 125 percent respectively of their long-term averages (Table 2). The main reasons for the increase was that most of the rivers and other water bodies (which form part the source for irrigation) had recharged during the long rains 2017 (April, May, June), Off-season rains (July-August) coupled by the short rains (October, November and December). The above reason also explains the consistency in production as soil moisture was adequate for production of the short season crops under irrigation (which are mainly vegetables and pulses). The area under green grams tremendously increased because farmers were contracted by Kenya Seed Company to produce green gram seed. The increase in acreage resulted in the increase in production of Tomatoes, water melons and green grams by 18.7, 41.4 and 125 percent of their normal production respectively (Table 2). However maize production reduced by 10.4 percent of the normal due to infestation of the Fall Army Worm. The area under irrigation for beans reduced by 77 percent of the long term average.

Households in the Pastoral, Agro pastoral and Marginal Mixed zones do not have any stocks and are depending on traderslocal markets for purchase which mainly sourced from outside the County. Maize stocks held by traders and millers are 80 and 78 percent of the LTA for Maize while Millet stocks held by traders was 16 percent more than LTA and this was attributed to more household buying from markets for milling purposes and complementing with Maize flour, sorghum stocks held by traders were 28 percent of the LTA. 3.1.2 Livestock production The main livestock species kept in the county include; cattle, camels, goats, sheep, honeybees and poultry. The short rains do contribute significantly to regeneration of pasture and fodder in the county hence the importance for its utilization in rejuvenating strategic feed reserves and milk production at household in pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihood zone. Table 4 below shows the significance of livestock production to food and income. Table 4: Contribution of livestock production to food and income in Baringo County Livelihood zone contribution to Food Income Mixed farming 25 23 Irrigated cropping 25 8 Agro-pastoral 20 50 Pastoral-all species 21 88 Forage condition The forage condition was below normal across all livelihood zones. The pasture condition was fair in mixed farming and irrigated cropping livelihood zones. In agro-pastoral and pastoral livelihood zones, the condition was fair to poor and poor respectively. The impact of the off- season and short rains, led to good regeneration of pasture in fenced areas and fair regeneration in open areas. The pastures are expected to last till the end of March. The browse condition was good to fair in both mixed and irrigated cropping zones, fair in agro- pastoral zones and fair to poor in pastoral livelihood zones. It is expected to last up-to mid- march. Factors limiting access to forage include scarce forage, limited livestock water and resource based conflict along the borders of Baringo North and Tiaty, Baringo south and Tiaty, Baringo and Keiyo Marakwet, and Baringo and both Laikipia and Samburu Table 5: Pasture and Browse condition One and Mixed Good to Good to Fair half 3 Good 2 3 farming fair fair Irrigated One and Good to Good to croppin Fair half 3 Good 2 3 fair fair g months Agro- Fair to Good to Fair 1 month 2 Fair 1 2 pastoral Poor fair Fair to Pastoral Poor Fair 1 month 2 Fair 1 2 Livestock productivity Livestock body condition The improvement in livestock body condition is attributed to the cumulative effect of the off- season rains coupled with above normal short rains witnessed. Similarly, the rains slightly reduced trekking distance but the regenerated pastures are rapidly being utilized. Pastures enclosures are in good condition and therefore able to sustain the body condition in those areas as the short dry spell continues.

Tropical livestock units (TLUs) There was a reduction in TLUs for both poor- and medium-income households across all livelihood zones compared to normal (Table 7). The Reduced birth rates, abortions and livestock mortalities were due to poor performance of the past previous accumulated rainfall seasons as the livestock body conditions and fertility level deteriorated.

However, both milk production and consumption are below the LTA. About 30 percent of milk sold in the pastoral all species livelihood zones come from mixed farming livelihood zones. As compared to the previous season there was decrease in milk prices as shown in the table 8 below Table 8: Milk production and consumption Livelihood zone Milk production per Milk consumption per Prices(KES) HH(Lts) HH(Lts) Current Normal Current Current Normal Mixed farming 4-6 10 1.5 Mixed 4-6 10 Irrigated cropping 4-6 8 1.5 Irrigated 4-6 8 Agro-pastoral 1 6 0.9 Agro- 1 6 Pastoral 0.5 3 0.5 Pastoral 0.5 3 Water for Livestock The main sources of water include boreholes, permanent rivers, Lakes and pans which are in Kerio, Amaya, Pekerra, Molo, Alabal, Wasenges and Mukutani. Lakes include Bogoria, Baringo,and Kamnarok. The water pans were recharged at 50 percent but are now drying up rapidly due to onset of dry period. The trekking distance are currently above normal ranges but are lower than the previous season Table 9. There was no change in watering frequency.

Currently about 90 percent of households in pastoral-all species and agro-pastoral livelihood zones are largely dependent on markets as their main food source. 3.2.1 Markets Market operations The main markets in the county include Barwessa, Kolloa, Marigat, Nginyang, Kinyach, among others. Mixed farming Livelihood zones, have markets in Kabel, Kipsarama, Iloti, Kapchorua, Kapcholoi and Mogotio. The Agropastoral livelihood zones have markets in Emining and Kaptara, Markets in pastoral livelihood zones are in Kolloa, Loruk, Nginyang, Tangulbei, Amaya and Kinyach. Marigat and Barwessa markets are in the Irrigated cropping livelihood zone. All markets are functional except for Kinyach market which has been closed due to insecurity. The main livestock available in the markets were cattle, sheep and goats. There was an influx of livestock in the main markets resulting to low livestock prices being recorded which downplay the farmers purchasing power. The main reason of influx of livestock in the markets was increased numbers for sale of livestock in order to raise secondary school fees for children. The markets play a crucial role towards realization of the accessibility pillar of food security in terms of availing the food and income from the sales of the livestock. The main agricultural commodities in the markets are Maize, beans, greengrams and horticultural crops. Most of the cereals are imported from Nakuru, Uasin gishu Trans nzoia there is also internal trade from mixed farming zones to pastoral and agropastoral zones Maize prices Maize prices were 20 percent higher than the 2012-2016 LTA (Figure 3) and 5 percent lower than price in January 2017. The high prices were occassioned by low supplies and poor harvests. Prices are highest in the pastoral-all species livelihooh zone and agropastoral livelihood zones at Figure 2: Maize price trends average of Ksh 60. Goat prices The average price of a goat increased steadily from october to December this was attributed to improved body conditions and the festive season. However, the price decreased by 9 percent from Ksh. 2,709 in the month December 2017 to Ksh.2,461 in the month of January 2018. The prices were below the LTA by 16 percent (Figure 4) ; but above last year prices by 10 percent Figure 3: Goat price trends attributed to market dynamics and improvement of body condition due to improvement of pasture and browse. The Goat prices were highest in irrigated at Ksh. 2,604 and lowest in Pastoral livelihood zone at Ksh. 1,875. The prices may slightly drop as prevailing dry spell may have impact on the body condition 3.2.2 Terms of trade The Terms of trade have been on an increasing trend from October to December. However, they decreased to 48.1kg in January. The current ToT is slightly below the long-term average by 4 percent (Figure 5). The drop was due to decrease in the livestock prices in January. Figure 4: Terms of trade 3.2.3 Income sources The main sources of income in the county include livestock and crop production. Income from crop production has significantly reduced across all livelihood zones due to reduction in yield. Rainfall failure in the previous short and long rains in pastoral and agro pastoral livelihood zones resulted in loss of livelihood assets mainly livestock. The households have now engaged in other income sources such as the sale of charcoal, which will result in further deforestation of already degraded rangelands. 3.2.4 Water availability, access and utilization Major water sources The main sources of water for both livestock and domestic use include; water pans, springs and boreholes. The water sources were recharged at about 70 to 80 percent across all livelihoods as a result of the short rains and off some season rains during the lean season of July to Septembe. However, surface water sources are currently holding approximately 40 to 50 percent of their normal capacities as indicated in Table 12.

In the agro pastoral livelihood, distances increased from three to four kilometres normally to six to seven and in the irrigated cropping zone, from the normal half to one and half kilometres to one to two kilometres. In the mixed farming zones, the distances increased from the normal of one to two and half kilometres to two to four Kilometres. The increase has been occasioned by drying up of some open water sources and breakdown of boreholes in all livelihood zones (Table 13). Water consumption and cost Current water consumption is 12-15 litres per person per day compared to 15-20 litres per person per day in the pastoral and agro pastoral livelihoods, 15-20 litres per person per day from 20-25 litres per person per day in the mixed farming zones normally. The Irrigated livelihood zone is at normal (20-25 litres). Cost of water has remained within the normal of Ksh. 3-5 per 20 litres jerrican at the water kiosks and boreholes in all livelihood zones Households using billed water are stressed due to high water bills. Waiting time The current waiting time varies between five to ten minutes at the boreholes as compared to the normal of three to five minutes in the pastoral and agro pastoral livelihood zones, five to seven from two to four minutes in the mixed farming zone and within the normal range of one to three in the irrigated cropping livelihood zones. The increase in waiting time can be attributed to high demand at those water points (Table 13).

The proportion for the households which had acceptable food consumption score was 70 and 59 percent in Baringo north and Tiaty sub counties respectively (Figure Figure 5: Food consumption groups 6). This is in comparison to those who had poor food consumption score at 6.7 and 25.6 percent in Baringo north and Tiaty sub counties respectively in the month of January 2018. In comparison to the month of January 2017 there is a significant improvement since households with poor food consumption score was recorded at 17 and 52 percent in Baringo north and Tiaty sub counties respectively 3.2.6 Coping strategy The mean coping strategy index for the month of January 2018 is 15.74, which is an increase when compared to the coping strategy index of the previous month that was 13.13 but still within normal coping strategies for stressed household of consuming less preffered and or less expensive foods but doing better than same period in 2017 when the CSI was 20. The CSI for Pastoral and agro pastoral livelihood zones in the month of January 2018 is 18.4 and 15.3 respectively and CSI for irrigated livelihood zone average 2.8 but an improvement in the same period in 2017 which was at 23.8, 15.6 and 4.2 respectively. 3.3 Utilization 3.3.1 Morbidity and mortality patterns 160000 TRENDS IN MORBIDITY FOR UNDER FIVES AND GENERAL POPULATION The major morbidities from July to Dec 2017 for children less than five years are URTI, malaria, and Diarrhoea. The morbidity for this cohort increased by URTI 15.6 compared to the same period in Diarrheao Jan 2017, Figure 7. This could be Malaria attributed to the off season rains and staff 40000 strike that affected treatment access. 20000 There was no epidemic from July to Figure 6: M20 o1 r6 t2 r0 e1 n6 dG sP 2017 U5 2017 GP December 2017. However, there was an upsurge of clinical Malaria cases in Tiaty although this is not reflected in the DHIS report due to poor reporting because of insecurity and Nurses strike. The average distance to the nearest Health facility ranges from 35KM in East Pokot, to 6 Km in Baringo North. However, this was mitigated by integrated outreaches and the catch up campaign which brought services nearer to the communities 3.3.2 Immunization and Vitamin A Supplementation coverage The fully immunized child (FIC) coverage recorded a reduction of 16.6 percent down from 66.6 percent, compared to same period in 2017 (Figure 8). The 50 percent coverage remained below the national target of 80 percent). The 16.6 percent reduction in coverage for FIC could be attributed to the problems faced by the sector including the Nurses strike, some facilities especially dispensaries closed due to staff shortage. This is despite the implementation of outreach in hard to reach area and catch up Figure 8: Immunization coverage campaign. Vitamin A supplementation coverage for children 6-11 month reduced by 29.4 percent from 70.2 percent to 40.8 percent (Figure 9), attributed to staff strike. However, there is an increase in Vitamin A supplementation for Children 12-59 by 27 percent to 56.6 percent compared to same period in 2016. The coverage is below the national target (80 percent). The increase in Vitamin A coverage for children 12-59 months can be attributed to malezi Bora activities which made use of ECD and Community Health Units in Baringo Central,Baringo South, Mogotio and Baringo North Sub Counties respectively. Despite reduced immunization coverage the childhood morbidity remained Figure 9: Vitamin A coverage trends in Baringo normal as same period 2017 3.3.3 Nutrition Status and Dietary Practices 3.3.3.1 Food consumption Patterns Most households are consuming an average of one to two meals in a day comprising of mainly tea, maize meal, and porridge in the Pastoral livelihood zones, also 90 percent of mothers introduce herbal teas with cows milk as early as two weeks, which explains low EBF rates of 36 percent which is below national target of 80 percent. Households in the Mixed, Irrigated zone and Agro-pastoral livelihood zones are accessing 2-3 meals in a day with advantage of vegetables. Majority of children are introduced to herbal tea and milk before six months in these livelihoods. Current water consumption in pastoral, agro-pastoral and irrigated zones are 12-15 litres and 15-20 litres in mixed farming zones. Minimal water treatment was practiced among households in East Pokot sub-county where the main water source though depleted serve both livestock and households. 3.3.3.2 Nutrition status The proportion of children (6-59 months) at risk of malnutrition was stable from October to December (13 to 12 percent); attributed to accelerated intervention in October and November. However, it increased to 18 percent in January 2018 compared to the LTA of 16.6 percent (Figure 10). Reports from CHANIS (Underweight) currently range from Figure 10: Children at risk of malnutrition 6.7 percent in July 2017 to 9.0 percent in Dec 2017 among children less than five years for the county. East Pokot, all pastoral livelihood zone reported the high levels of vulnerability compared to other livelihood zones across all sectors thus SMART survey carried out in July 2017 indicated critical nutrition status with GAM levels of 25 percent (Figure 11). Figure 11: Malnutrition trends The proportion admitted in the SFP and OTP programmes remained above LTA with disruptions in documentations due to health worker strikes, insecurity and mass screening (Figure 12). Malnutrition Screening, OTP and ITP admissions trends. The December 2017 East Pokot 2017 2016 2015 2014 LTM (5-yr average) sub-county Semi-Quantitative Evaluation of Access and Coverage (SQUEAC) survey o is 700 found an estimated OTP s im 600 coverage of 45.9 percent and a SFP coverage of 29.7 percent. e n 400 This is far below the r 300 recommended SPHERE b m 200 standards of 50 percent for N 100 rural areas. This was attributed to stock outs, long distances, Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec Figure 12: Trends in OTP admissions migration and poor motivation Month of CHVs involved in screening and referrals. Nutrition status is likely to deteriorate till onset of long rains in marginal mixed livelihood of Marigat, Mogotio but likely to be stable or improve in East Pokot where blanket SFP and facility based SFP interventions are ongoing. Most households across all livelihoods have foods stocks likely to last one month attributed to low harvests and will be relying on markets for food access compared to same period in Jan 2017. 3.3.2 Sanitation and Hygiene TOILET COVERAGE PER LIVELIHOOD Contamination of open water sources was prevalent as livestock wade directly into pastoral agro pastoral irrigated crop mixed farming open water sources. Most water sources dont have a separate water collection point for livestock and human. Cases of typhoid Figure 13: Latrine4 5co verage 16 and amoeba have been reported in the Pastoral and Agro pastoral zones. Latrine coverage is lowest in pastoral zone at less than 10 percent and highest in mixed farming at 55 percent. Low latrine coverage is associated with associated with cultural values. Most households in the Pastoral zone use bushes, posing a health risk especially during rainy season. Water treatment at household level is very low and drinking of raw water directly from the sources was predominant. Prolonged storage is mainly practiced enabling sedimentation. 3.4 Trends of key food security indicators Table 14: Food security trends Indicator Long rains assessment, July Short rains assessment, Jan 2018 Maize stocks held by 50.7 48 households () (mixed farming) Livestock body condition Poor for cattle, Fair to good Good for all livestock species in Mixed for the rest farming and irrigated cropping livelihood Good to fair for cattle and sheep in agro- pastoral and pastoral livelihood zones For goats good in agropastoral but good to fair in pastoral all species livelihood zones Water consumption (litres per Pastoral-all species: 10-15 Pastoral-all species: 12-15 person per day) Agro-pastoral: 10-15 Agro-pastoral: 12-15 Mixed farming: 15-20 Mixed farming: 15 - 20 Irrigated cropping: 20-25 Irrigated cropping: 20 -25 Price of maize (Ksh. per kg) 81 Average Ksh. 52kg (Pastoral Agro-p: 60, Mixed Irrigated: Ksh 30-35Kg Mid-upper arm circumference 25 18.5 (MUAC) Terms of trade 18 48.1 (number of kilograms purchased from the proceeds of the sale of a goat) Coping strategy index Mean CSI 20 Mean CSI: 15.74 (Jan) Pastoral:18.4, Agro-pastoral: 15.3, Irrigated zone: 2.8 Food consumption score (Jan 2017) Jan 2018 (percent) Poor 19 poor:18 Borderline 32 Borderline:20 Acceptable 49 Acceptable:61 3.5 Education Access Generally there was an increase in ECD enrolment by 3.4 percent in Term l 2018 compared to Term lll 2017. The ratio of boys to girls at ECD level is 1 to 1. Primary school enrolment declined by 1.6 percent in Term lll 2017 compared to Term l 2018. This is due the implementation of Teacher Performance Appraisal Development Performance contracting Teacher Management Information System. (TPADPCTMIS Implementation of Free Day Secondary Education (FDSE) had an effect on a higher rate transition from primary to secondary level. In Term lll 2017 enrolment in secondary schools for boys and girls increased by 8.3 and 14.2 percent respectively, compared Term 1 2018 Table 14. East Pokot had the lowest enrollment of secondary school students with a total of 1,356 boys and 830 girls in Term l 2018. However, there was an increase compared to Term lll 2017 with a proportion of 7.6 percent for both boys and girls.

The average attendance for boys and girls in primary was 76,206 and 71,716 respectively. For secondary school the average attendance for boys was 19,932 and girls was 18,864. It there means that absenteeism was minimal at all levels of learning.

For males, the rate decreased from 5, to 0.2 percent as shown in table 17. The major reasons for dropping-out included the absence of food in schools, migration of families to water points In primary schools, the reasons given for dropping out were insecurityviolence, family labor responsibilities together with an absence of food in schools. In secondary school the dropout rate decreased by 2.2 percent for boys. However, there was no drop out for girl. Instead there was an increase in enrolment in the proportion girls by 7.6 percent in Term l 2018 compared to Term lll 2107. The reason of dropout for girls was due early marriages, pregnancies and lack of school fees, for boys it was caused by family labour, lack of school fees and boda boda business.

Expanded school meals programme was distributed in Baringo North Sub County to caution the drought that affected schools that were not under HGSMP. It benefitted a total of 13,943 pupils of which 7,148 were boys and 6,795 were girls.

The ECD are not covered in the national school meals program and allocated food by national government has to be shared by ECDs hence leading to faster depletion. Approximately 20 percent of the schools in the county are facing severe water shortage as result of drying of water sources and lack of water storage facilities in schools. Inter-sector links The county government is encouraging enrolment of pupils across all ethnic communities within the region and promoting cohesion and peace-building in an attempt to curb the insecurity that had been experienced in Baringo North, East Pokot and Marigat sub-counties. The ministry of health carried out deworming at educational institutions for ECD centres. Pupils were also provided with water treatment tablets in schools. 4.0 FOOD SECURITY PROGNOSIS 4.1 Prognosis Assumptions Baringo County food security prognosis for the next six months is based on the following assumptions: The onset of the March-June long rains is likely to be timely with average to above average amounts and is the main season of the county. Livestock prices are likely to slightly deteriorate through to MarchApril owing to declining forage availability. The livestock body condition especially cattle is likely to deteriorate further Conflicts over rangeland resources are likely to continue along the borders of East Pokot with Baringo North and Baringo South sub-counties together with the border along the county with Turkana. 4.2 Food security outcomes for February to April The food security situation is expected to worsen in the pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihood zones. The mixed farming and irrigated faming livelihood zones may continue in their present phase (Minimal). As income from livestock production decreases, majority of households in the pastoral-all species and agro-pastoral livelihood zones who rely on livestock are likely to face significant food consumption gaps. In the mixed farming livelihood zone, the projected decline in crop production is likely to compromise food consumption as they rely on the activity for food. Livestock prices are expected to remain below-average since there will be increase of volume of animals in the markets with a relatively poor body condition 4.3 Food security outcomes for May to July The onset of the long rains season is projected to be in MarchApril and will result in regeneration of forage and high recharge of water sources. In the agro pastoral and pastoral livelihood zones the livestock production aspects are likely to improve in terms of body condition and milk production increasing milk availability and consumption and increasing domestic incomes. Nutrition status is likely to improve with most households consuming more than 3 meals in a day. Crude mortality and under five mortality is expected to stabilize. Proportion of households with poor food consumption is expected to reduce with households consuming more food groups. Coping strategy Index will improve with households applying fewer consumption based strategies with less frequency. 5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Conclusion The current food security situation is likely to remain stable in the mixed farming and irrigated livelihood zones. Food security is expected to deteriorate in the pastoral and agro pastoral livelihood zones in the next two months. Malnutrition levels are expected to increase in the pastoral, agro pastoral and marginal mixed farming livelihood zones. The pans are drying at fast rate due to siltation and high temperatures. Urgent de-silting before the onset of the long rains so that the pans dams can harvest sufficient water to be used during dry periods. There is urgent need for provision of water in schools and dispensaries mainly in the pastoral areas to improve retention. Currently water trucking is being undertaken in schools in the pastoral livelihood zones in Tiaty. Support to provision of more boarding facilities in the Pastoral zone is crucial as pastoralists continue to migrate with their children in search of pasture. Recommended Non-food interventions need to be implemented with immediate effect to cushion households from extreme effects of drought. Most affected parts is in pastoral livelihood zone in Tiaty. Provision of farm inputs in Agro-Pastoral, irrigated and mixed farming in preparation for the long rains. 5.1.1 Phase classification The county is classified in the Stressed phase (IPC phase 2). Mixed farming and Irrigated livelihood zones have remained in the Minimal Phase, while the Agro-Pastoral livelihood zone has remained in the Stressed phase. Pastoral livelihood zone has deteriorated from Stressed to Crisis Food Insecurity Phase. 5.1.2 Summary of findings The main food insecurity drivers in the County this season include, the fall army worm infestation, insecurity and high food commodity prices. Most parts of the county received 125- 200 percent of the normal rainfall particularly for the mixed farming livelihood zones characterized by even temporal distribution and an early cessation. Insecurity due to conflicts over pasture is on an increasing trend. Forage condition is deteriorating in the agro pastoral and all pastoral livelihoods zones livestock resulting in migration within the county hence reducing livestock production. Above-average food commodity prices were reported amid lower-than- normal livestock prices reducing pastoralists terms of trade. Crop production also performed below-optimal which further increased households vulnerability in the agro-pastoral, mixed farming and irrigated cropping livelihood zones. The lower-than-average performance was occasioned by the fall army worm infestation and the off season rains just before the onset of the short rains. Except for the pastoral livelihood zone in Tiaty which reported poor Food Consumption score. All the other sub counties had acceptable diet compared with a similar time last year pointing to increased dietary diversity, food intake, food frequency and nutritive value. A deterioration in the nutritional status of children aged below five years has been recorded in the agro pastoral and pastoral livelihood zones. This could largely be attributed to the poor child care practices and reduced milk availability in the households. Key factors to monitor include the current food insecurity drivers such as the fall army worm infestation, food commodity prices, rangeland conditions, conflicts along migratory routes and the nutritional status of children aged below five years. 5.1.3 Sub-county ranking Table 19: Sub-county ranking Sub-county Food Main food security threat (if any) security rank (1- Very Good (9-10) Good (7-8) Fair (5-6) Poor (3-4) Very Poor (2) East Pokot 3 Depletion of pasture, fair to poor browse condition, increased distances to domestic and livestock water sources, resource based conflict, Harsh climatical conditions, High malnutrition rate Mogotio 4 Poor pasture condition, Human wild life conflict, livestock disease, High temperatures, fall army warm infestation, increased distances to domestic and livestock water sources, poor water quality Baringo 5 Fair -Poor pasture condition, resource based conflict, High temperatures, fall North army warm infestation, increased distances to domestic and livestock water sources Baringo 6 Deteriorating pastures, resource based Conflict, fall army warm, South increased water distances, poor water quality Marigat 4 Insecurity, poor rainfall performance, livestock diseases, fall army worm infestation, high malnutrition rates, high food commodity prices Baringo 7 Deteriorating of pasture, fall army worm, increasing distances to water sources.
