Kenya: Cabinet approves Sh4 billion to combat drought conditions

Kenya: Cabinet approves Sh4 billion to combat drought conditions.
The Cabinet has approved Sh4 billion to help mitigate the effects of the ongoing drought conditions in Kenya. The money will be used to provide food, water, and other assistance to those affected by the drought. Kenya is currently experiencing its worst drought in decades, and the government is working to do everything it can to help those affected.
The approval of funds was made after a Kenya Cabinet Meeting chaired by President William Ruto on February 28. This means that the government has given the go ahead for the release of funds that will be used to finance and combat drought conditions.
Kenya’s Cabinet has approved an additional appropriation of Sh4 billion to the nation’s drought alleviation programme. The programme is designed to provide relief to those areas of the country most affected by the drought.
According to a recent report from the United Nations, more than four million Kenyans are facing starvation and lack access to water. More than 960,000 children in the country are malnourished, and the situation is only getting worse. Drought and conflict have displaced thousands of people, making it difficult for them to get the food and water they need. The Kenyan government is doing what it can to help, but it needs more support from the international community to get the situation under control.
The government’s cabinet was briefed on the status of the country’s drought situation and the support that vulnerable households and school-going children were receiving. Some regions of the country have been particularly hard hit by the drought, and the government is working to ensure that all residents have access to clean water and adequate food supplies. School-going children are also receiving support in the form of school meals and other assistance.
The meeting observed that the State’s humanitarian support actions towards the drought in Kenya were being fortified through enhanced partnerships with our development partners. Such partnerships are important in order to provide the necessary support to those affected by the drought. The meeting also discussed the importance of continuing to monitor the situation in Kenya in order to provide the necessary support to those affected.
This donation from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) follows a period of severe drought in Kenya that left many people without access to basic needs like food and water. The money will be used to help those affected by the drought and to prevent future droughts from occurring. This is a much needed donation that will help save lives and improve the quality of life for many people in Kenya.
USAID announced that it would provide emergency food items to families in need in Kenya. This aid will include maize, sorghum, and cooking oil. According to USAID, these supplies will help families who are struggling to get by. A USAID representative said, “with the current level of need in South Sudan, it is imperative that we provide assistance to those who are most vulnerable.” The emergency food aid will be distributed through USAID’s partners on the ground.
