KUZA JAMII PROGRAM: SHOCK RESPONSE UPDATE (Issue 2)
Kuza Jamii – Transforming Communities is a one-year Economic Inclusion Program implemented by BOMA, CHASP Advisory, Village Enterprise, Echo Network Africa (ENA), 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 eight Kenyan counties – Tana River, Isiolo, Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Marsabit, Turkana, and Samburu. 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 bi-monthly shock update provides valuable information for Kuza Jamii actors and other stakeholders, helping them anticipate and plan for potential disruptions to project activities that could be caused by shock-related events.
