C-LaSAIR aims to address the vulnerability of women in dryland Kenya to climate change by co-designing and innovating scalable climate-smart labor-saving agrotechnologies. It seeks to increase the resilience of over 2,524 households by enhancing livelihoods and reducing time and energy expended in productive, reproductive, and socio-cultural roles. The project will be implemented in three counties in Kenya over a two-year period. In particular, the project outputs are aimed to economically empower women and girls and maximize local capabilities for agricultural production and opportunities in drylands of Elgeyo-Marakwet, Kisumu and Turkana counties of Kenya. The specific objectives (SOs) will be: (i) Specific Objective 1 (SO1): To increase labor-saving, locally innovated water-harvesting techniques for agricultural productivity and home consumption by at least 25% in the drylands; (ii) SO2: To increase the use of automated solar-based irrigation systems in silvo-agricultural systems by at least 25% in the drylands; (iii) SO3: To co-innovate circular agrosilvopastoral technologies and practices that are climate resilient and focusing on beekeeping, poultry, fruits, sorghum, groundnut & cowpea production; (iv) SO4: To improve food and nutrition security and climate resilience through rice-paddy based fish farming and locally formulated diets for nutritional security; and (v) SO5: To Strengthen local nutrition-sensitive fruit, sorghum, groundnut, and fish value chains in the drylands.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
