IPSIA Kenya

🌍In recent weeks, IPSIA and its partners convened two important coordination tables bringing together local institutions, community representatives and implementing partners working in Laikipia.

🌱The meetings focused on two initiatives currently underway in the county: the newly launched “Value chains’ development and water access for food security in Kenya” project in , and the "Women Empowerment, Environment and Health Support in Kenya", now in its 18th month of implementation in . While at different stages, the meetings were an opportunity to strengthen dialogue, share progress and align strategies with local actors and institutions.

💪🏾Beyond individual projects, these moments reflect IPSIA’s programmatic approach in Laikipia: working alongside communities, civil society organisations and local authorities to support inclusive governance, sustainable management of natural resources and resilient livelihoods in the county’s arid and semi-arid areas.

♀️Particular attention is given to the active participation of women and vulnerable groups, promoting opportunities for leadership, economic inclusion and community-driven development.
