6.2 Food Intervention Required 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 County Background Baringo County is divided into six sub- counties namely: Mogotio, Baringo North, Baringo Central, East Pokot, Koibatek, and 4% Marigat. It covers an estimated area of 22% Mixed farming 11,015.3 square kilometres with a 43% population of 555,561 (KNBS, 2009). The Pastoral county has four main livelihood zones. Agro-pastoral 31% Irrigated Figure 1: Population by livelihood zone 2 2.0 COUNTY FOOD SECURITY SITUATION 2.1 Current Food Security Situation Parts of the pastoral and agro pastoral livelihood zones are classified in the Stressed phase (IPC Phase 2) while the mixed farming and irrigated farming livelihood zones are classified in the Minimal phase (IPC Phase 1). The amount of maize stocks held at household level are about 69 percent of the long term average (LTA). The current terms of trade were 72.5 percent above the LTA and 41 percent above the amount posted at a similar time in 2015, indicating favourable purchasing power for households selling livestock to purchase maize. Based on data from the Food Security Outcome Monitoring (FSOM) report, there was an improvement in the proportion of households in the acceptable food consumption category from 56.4 percent in May 2015 to 90.7 percent in May 2016. The report also indicated that the coping strategy index (CSI) in May 2016 was 15 compared with 27 during the same period in 2015 implying that household food security status is improving. The main drivers of food insecurity in the county include: pests and diseases in crops, livestock mortalities due to diseases and insecurity along the Kerio Valley. Others include lower-than- normal immunization levels and poor hygiene and sanitation practices. 2.2 Food Security Trends Table 1: Food security trends in Baringo County Indicator Current situation (LRA 2016) Previous season (SRA 2016) Food security phase Minimal (IPC Phase 1) in mixed Minimal (IPC Phase 1) in mixed farming and irrigated cropping farming and irrigated cropping livelihood zones livelihood zones Stressed (IPC Phase 2) in parts of Stressed (IPC Phase 2) in parts of pastoral and agro–pastoral zones pastoral and agro–pastoral zones Household food stocks 69 % of the LTA 88 % of the LTA Livestock body condition Good (in pastoral livelihood zone Good to fair for large stocks good to fair) for large stocks Good for small stocks Good for small stocks Household water consumption (litres per person per day) - Pastoral zone 15–20 12–15 - Agro-pastoral zone 15–20 12–15 - Mixed farming livelihood zone 20–25 15–20 - Irrigated farming livelihood 20–25 15–20 zone Terms of trade 72.5% above the LTA 49 % above the LTA Coping strategy index 15 (May 2016) 27 (May 2015) Food consumption score 1.3% poor, 8.0 % borderline, 90.7% 13.6% poor, 30.0% borderline, Acceptable 56.4% Acceptable Children at risk of 10.2% 12.2% malnutrition 3 2.3 Rainfall Performance There was a late onset in the first dekad of April compared to the second dekad of March normally. Most of the county received above-normal rains with the central and eastern parts of the county receiving 90–125 percent of normal while the southern and northern parts received between 125– 200 percent of normal rains. The eastern parts of Nginyang and Tangulbei in East Pokot received the least amounts with Eldama Ravine and Central Kolowa receiving the highest. Spatial distribution was uneven while temporal distribution was poor. Cessation was early in the second dekad of May compared to the first dekad of June normally although off-season showers were on-going in the county. Figure 2: Rainfall performance 3.0 IMPACT OF RAINFALL PERFOMANCE, SHOCKS AND HAZARDS 3.1 Crop Production The long rains season is the most important season accounting for about 90 percent of total rain received in the county. The main crops grown for both food and income are maize, beans, millet and cowpeas. Crop production contributes seven percent of cash income in the agro–pastoral livelihood zone, 35 percent in the mixed farming livelihood zone and 64 percent in the irrigated farming livelihood zones. Maize contributes 63 percent of food in the agro–pastoral and 21 percent in the mixed farming livelihood zones. Table 2: Rain-fed crop production Crop Area planted Long term average 2016 long rains Long term average during 2016 area planted during season production production during long rains the long rains season (90 kg bags) the long rains season (Ha) (Ha) season (90 kg bags) Maize 34,318 38,140 1,037,871 800,650 Beans 20,320 19,626 305,513 269,148 Finger Millet 3,312 3,307 36,615 35,456 The area under maize production reduced by 10 percent of the LTA which was attributed to lack of input subsidy to the farmers as had happened in the previous season with Baringo North and South sub–counties being the most affected. However, the projected production is 30 percent above the LTA which was attributed to timely provision of fertilizers in Eldama Ravine as well as favourable rains which boosted overall production. The area under beans was normal and the consequent production 16 percent above the LTA due to favourable rains (Table 2). 4 Table 3: Irrigated crop production Crop Area planted Short term 2016 long rains Short term average (3 during the 2016 average (3 years) area season production years) production long rains season planted during long (90 kg bags) during 2016 long rains (ha) rains season (ha) projected/ actual season (90 kg bags) Maize 1,971 3,417 58,752 101,540 Beans 42 82 420 984 Tomatoes 37 58.5 254 397 In the irrigated farming, area under maize production reduced by 42 percent as most farmers opted to skip the season in a bid to control Maize Lethal Necrosis Disease that was witnessed in the previous season. The consequent production declined by the same percentage due to reduced acreage planted. Area under beans reduced by 49 percent of the LTA as farmers preferred a particular variety of bean seed for planting which was not available. Correspondingly, production declined by 57 percent of the LTA. The area under tomatoes also declined by 37 percent due to pests and diseases. Their production was affected by Tuta absoluta leading to a decline in production of 36 percent of the LTA (Table 3).

The stocks held were carry–over stocks from the 2015 short rains. Traders held normal stocks although they were buying directly from farmers outside the county and then selling to millers. NCPB held higher–than–normal stocks by 23 percent because millers were not purchasing maize from the Board because it had discoloured. Millers were therefore purchasing maize from traders not NCPB which therefore held higher–than–normal stocks (Table 4). 5 3.2 Livestock Production The major livestock species kept in the county are: cattle, goats, sheep, camels and honeybees. Poultry is gaining prominence across all livelihood zones. Table 5: Contribution of livestock production to cash and food in Baringo County Livelihood zone Cash Food Mixed farming 23 25 Irrigated cropping 8 25 Agro-pastoral 50 20 Pastoral 88 21 Pasture and Browse Pasture was good across all livelihood zones which is normal and likely to last approximately three months in all livelihood zones except in the pastoral livelihood zone where it is likely to last two months. Browse was also good across all livelihood zones and likely to last between 3 – 4 months (Table 6).

Access to forage is hampered by insecurity cases along Kerio Valley. Livestock Diseases and Mortalities Foot and Mouth Disease was reported in Tiaty sub–county and Pestes des Petites Ruminantes (PPR) in Mogotio, Koibatek, Baringo Central and Barwessa, Other diseases that were reported include Heart Water in Baringo North and Contagious Caprine Pleuro-Pneumonia (CCPP) which is endemic in all sub-counties. Heart Water disease claimed 65 goats at Yatya in the pastoral livelihood zone while 49 goats died due to CCPP in Yatya and Kollowa in the same zone. Vaccinations against Black quarter (BQ), Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD), Sheep and Goat Pox and rabies were carried out across all livelihood zones.

Recharge to the open water sources was approximately 90 percent of their capacity, which improved water availability and access. Surface water facilities held approximately 80 – 90 percent of their capacities with most of them having water which is above normal at this time of the year.

Water was free at open water sources, Ksh 2 – 5 at the boreholes and Ksh 10 – 20 from vendors. 3.4 Markets and Trade The main markets in the county are Nginyang, Kolowa, Barwessa, Amaya, Marigat, Kabel, Tenges and Sirwa for livestock, cereals and other food commodities. Market operations have remained normal with the exception of Kolowa which was disrupted due to insecurity. Commodities traded were maize, beans, irish potatoes, onions and tomatoes. The markets were well provisioned across the livelihood zones. The supply sources for livestock, livestock products and cereals were from farmers both from within and outside the county. 2 Normal refers to same period in absence of a shock (what usually happens around that period). 8 9 )gk / .hsK( ecirP 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ja n A v e ra F e b g e (2 M a r 0 1 1 -2 0 A p r M 1 a 5 y ) Ju n Ju 2 l 0 A 1 5 u g S e p O 2 c 0 t 1 6 N o v D e c Figure 6: Trends in maize prices ).hsK( ecirP 3 2 2 1 1 0 5 0 5 0 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 A Ja v n e ra g e F e b (2 M 0 a 1 r 1 A -2 p 0 r 1 M 5 ) a y Ju n 2 0 Ju l 1 A 5 u g S e p 2 0 1 O c t 6 N o v D e c Figure 7: Trends in goat prices eziam fo smargoliK taog a rof degnahcxe 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ja n F e b M a r A A p r v e M ra g a y e (2 Ju n 0 1 1 Ju -2 l 0 A 1 5 ) u g S e p O c t N o v D e c Maize Prices The current maize prices were 20 percent below the LTA and seven percent below that of same period in 2015. The prices are expected to fall in August as harvesting begins in the farms leading to a low demand for maize in the markets as its supply increases (Figure 6). Goat Prices The average price of a goat was 37 percent above the LTA and 31 percent above that of July 2015. The price of goats has been increasing steadily as from February 2016 (Figure 7). The steady rise has been attributed to good livestock body condition due to availability of browse and water, farmers holding back their livestock for restocking as well as presence of food at household level. The prices are expected to remain stable in the next three months as browse and water will still be available. Terms of Trade The current terms of trade were 72.5 percent above the LTA and 41 percent above that posted at a similar time in 2015 (Figure 8). The variation was as a result of rising goat prices as farmers hold back their livestock as there was no need to sell them for food since it was available at household level. There has been a steady rise in terms of trade as from April occasioned by improving body condition translating into better goat prices.

There was also an outbreak of Hepatitis B in Lawan and Kaboskei in Baringo North. There was a noted decrease in morbidity for children aged below five years with regard to URTI and diarrhoea during the reporting period compared to the same period in 2015 (Figure 9). The decrease was attributed to improved awareness on health care-seeking behaviour to care givers. Malaria, skin and eye infections slightly increased because of poor health environment and lower– than–optimal immunization levels (Table 12). A decrease in the disease incidence in all the five diseases was reported in the period from January to June this year compared to the same period last year (Figure 10). The decrease is associated with seeking of early treatment, accessibility of simple rapid diagnostic equipment at local facilities and increased outreaches.

Measles __92.2__ The percentage for immunization coverage increased during the period between January to June 2016 compared to previous year attributed to purchase of more fridges for preservation of vaccines and opening up of more immunization centres by Baringo County Government hence improving access to the services (Table 13). Vitamin A supplementation The coverage of vitamin A supplementation increased from 22.7 percent in January to June 2015 to 40.2 percent during the same period in 2016 for children 12 – 59 months. The increase in coverage could be attributable to additional supplementation in ECDE and during the malezi bora campaigns. However, coverage of vitamin A supplementation in the county was still below the national target of 80 percent. Nutrition Status and Dietary Diversity The GAM in East Pokot sub–county was 23 percent Average (2011-2015) 2015 2016 and was classified as critical while severe acute 20.0 malnutrition was at 3.5 percent (SMART survey, ) 18.0 July 2016). The proportion at risk of malnutrition m m16.0 was 43 percent below the LTA (Figure 11). The 5 314.0 1 most likely causes of malnutrition include; poor <12.0 C A10.0 infant and young child care practices, poor dietary U M 8.0 diversity and low micro-nutrient supplementation.

Coping Mechanisms The mean CSI for May 2016 was 15 compared to 27 during a similar time last year (Figure 13), implying that households were currently employing fewer insurance consumption – based coping strategies less frequently to bridge food consumption gaps than last year (FSOM, May 2016). The most relied upon coping strategies included reliance on less preferred and/or less expensive food by 77.1 percent of the households and reduction in the number of meals eaten per day at 68.6 percent. Sanitation and Hygiene Latrine coverage in the county is estimated at 50, 10, 30 and 20 percent in the mixed farming, pastoral and agro pastoral and irrigated cropping livelihood zones respectively. The low coverage is associated with retrogressive cultural practices across all livelihood zones such as family members sharing a toilet being considered a taboo. Contamination of water sources is highly reported within the county mainly attributed to few poor sanitation facilities across all livelihood zones, reliance on unprotected open water sources and using one source of water to water livestock, drink, bathe and launder. Water treatment is minimal with households doing it only when they receive water treatment chemicals from the government. Hand washing during the four critical times was at two percent while open defecation was approximated at 96 percent in East Pokot (SMART survey, July 2016). Poor sanitation and hygiene practices could be a major cause of the prevalence of water-borne diseases.

The food security outcomes are based on the following assumptions:  There is a 55-60 percent chance of La Niña conditions occurring during the October– November–December season which will result in below or near–normal rains.  The available pasture is expected to last 2–4 months in the mixed farming, agro-pastoral and irrigated farming livelihood zones and two months in the pastoral livelihood zone.  Available browse is expected to last into the next rainy season for all livelihood zones.  Maize prices are expected to fall as from August as harvesting of the crop starts while the price of livestock is expected to rise.  The terms of trade are expected to improve with the rising livestock prices and falling maize prices.  With the projected above–normal maize harvest, there will be sufficient stocks at household level and markets will be well provisioned with the staples. 4.2 Food Security Outcomes from August to October Water availability and accessibility is expected to remain relatively stable across all livelihood zones. Pasture is expected to last up to the next rainy season due to the on–going off–season rains in the county. Livestock production is expected to improve across all livelihood zones due to the continued availability of forage. Market provisions are expected to be high and the terms of trade are expected to improve thereby increasing households access to food. The nutritional status for the under–fives is expected to continue improving. Mortality rates are expected to 13 remain below the alert thresholds. Households are expected to employ the normal coping mechanisms although some poor households in the pastoral livelihood zone are likely to increase the number and severity of coping strategies than normal. Therefore, most households in the mixed farming, agro pastoral, and irrigated cropping livelihood zones are likely to remain in the minimal food insecurity phase (IPC Phase 1) while some poor households in the pastoral livelihood zone will be classified in the stressed food insecurity phase (IPC Phase 2). 4.3 Food Security Outcomes from November to January Although the October–November–December rains are expected to be depressed in amounts, pasture regeneration is still expected. Therefore, livestock production is expected to improve leading to improved milk availability at household level. Market operations are expected to be normal and markets well provisioned. The terms of trade are expected to be stable and above the LTA thereby ensuring that the households have access to food commodities in the markets. The nutritional status of children is expected to improve as milk and food availability improves. Mortality rates are likely to remain within seasonal norms. Therefore, most households in the mixed farming, agro pastoral and irrigated cropping livelihood zones will remain in the minimal food insecurity phase (IPC Phase 1) although some poor households in the pastoral livelihood zone will remain in the stressed food insecurity phase (IPC Phase 2). 5.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS 5.1 Conclusion The food security situation in the county is stable and expected to remain so through to December 2016. Factors that require monitoring include livestock diseases and insecurity cases along Kerio valley which is limiting access to forage. 5.2 Summary of Recommendations  Provision of water treatment chemicals  Peace building initiatives  Drilling of boreholes especially in East Pokot  Training on water harvesting and conservation  Employment of more community health workers  Construction of cattle dips.  Drilling of boreholes in boarding schools  Increase coverage of de-worming in schools  ECDs to be included in School Meals Programme 14 Table 15: Sub-county food security ranking (worst to best) Sub County Food security Main food security threat (if any) rank (1-6) Mogotio 1 Poor crop performance High incidences of livestock diseases Long trekking distances to water points in isolated areas East Pokot (Tiaty) 2 Poor crop performance High incidences of livestock diseases Long trekking distances to water points in isolated areas Incidences of insecurity Baringo North 3 Incidences of livestock diseases Marigat 4 Incidences of flooding Baringo Central 5 Eldama Ravine 6 (Koibatek) 6.0 ANNEXES 6.1 On-going Interventions by Sector Table 16: On-going interventions by sector Sub– Intervention Location No. of Implement Impacts in terms Cost Time Frame county beneficiaries ers of food security (Ksh) Agriculture ALL Post–harvest ALL 20,000 MOALF Provision and 5M One year technologies and preservation of promotion stakeholders food Livestock All Beehives All 50 groups Department Improved 1.89M July 2016– distribution of diversification of August 2016 Agriculture livelihood Livestock strategies and fisheries- BCG All Disease All County–wide Department Reduced 4M July 2016– control(vaccinations of incidences of October 2016 against BQ,LSD and Agriculture livestock sheep and goat Livestock diseases leading pox) and to improved fisheries- livestock body County and condition national govt All Pasture distribution , All 8370 National Increase in 38. 3M July 2015– construction of hay households government pasture August and establishment production for 2016.supported by of pasture plots in improved DRSLP project Baringo North livestock productivity 15 All Construction of 7 Baringo 2300 Department Increased access 53.4M July 2015- markets North, households of to markets for December 2016.
