End term Evaluation for Drought Cash Transfer Program

This report presents findings of the final evaluation of the ECHO funded project, enabling resilience to the drought situation for the most vulnerable households in Kenya, through Unconditional Cash Transfers. The project was implemented in the backdrop of the Government of Kenya declaring the drought a national disaster in February 2017. The 23 Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) were the most affected with 5.61 million people in need of humanitarian assistance in Kenya, including 3.4 million people who were food insecure. The project worked in seven of the 23 ASALs areas namely: Garissa, Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu, Turkana, Wajir and West Pokot. These seven counties were the most affected with Global Acute Malnutrition rate above 30%. Together the seven counties of the project accounted for 57.6% (1.9million out of 3.3 million) of people in need of humanitarian assistance in the 13 priority counties of the Revised Flash Appeal of August 2017.
