In July-Aug. 2012, Oxfam commissioned a post-drought situation analysis of northern Kenya, with specific reference to Turkana
and Wajir counties. The objective of this assessment was to understand the implication of the poor performance of the April-
June 2012 rains in most parts of northern Kenya; provide an outlook of the remaining part of the year (Sept.-Dec. 2012) and an
assessment of people’s vulnerability to drought, including the needs on the ground. Extensive consultations were made in
Nairobi with Government, UN Agencies, NGOs and Donors, but also with County level stakeholders-DSG members and
communities in different parts of the two counties.
