Kenya’s Drought Cash Cow – A Short Guide (Summary)

The Arid Lands Resource Management Project (ALRMP) was an extension of a World Bank funded project – the Emergency Drought Recovery Project (EDRP 1993-96) – that began in 1993. The original project, designed to address the development imbalances between Kenya’s high and low potential areas, was in 4 arid districts only: Baringo, Mandera, Turkana and Wajir. By the end of ALRMPII, in December 2010, it covered 28 arid and semi-arid land (ASAL) districts.
