KUZA JAMII II PROGRAM: SHOCK RESPONSE UPDATE (ISSUE 1)

Kuza Jamii II – Transforming Communities is a six-month Economic Inclusion Program implemented by Village Enterprise, CHASP Advisory, Echo Network Africa Foundation (ENAF), Smart Regional Consultants (SRC) and Generation for Change and Development (GENCAD) with support from the UK Government.

The project aims to transition from cash transfers to more sustainable social protection programs by enhancing access to economic opportunities for extremely poor households in five Kenyan counties – Tana River, Isiolo, Garissa, Mandera and Marsabit. The project’s objective is to enhance access of extremely poor and vulnerable households to social and economic inclusion services by increasing household access to skills, productive inputs, assets, finance, and economic opportunities.

CHASP Advisory is spearheading the technical guidance for the implementation of Result 3 of the Kuza Jamii Program. This component aims to enhance the capacity of the Kenyan government to deliver sustainable and effective social and economic inclusion services. A key focus within this area is building shock responsiveness, which will enable the project and other government programmes to adapt and respond effectively to emerging challenges like droughts, floods, or conflict, that may severely affect the targeted populations.

This quarterly shock update provides valuable information for Kuza Jamii II actors and other stakeholders, helping to anticipate and plan for potential disruptions to project activities that could be caused by shock-related events.
