Kenya Consolidated Appeal 2012 Review

In line with the 2011-2013 humanitarian strategy, the focus of the Emergency Humanitarian Response
Plan remains on assisting households to recover fully from recurrent shocks and hazards, through
offering immediate and medium-term food and non-food interventions that seek to mitigate urgent
needs while concurrently restoring livelihoods and building their resilience. Indeed the twin-track
approaches (which include improving disaster risk reduction to withstand climate change) will require
investment which has been particularly challenging, all the more because emergencies are taking place
at a much more frequent rate. However, disaster risk reduction approaches have proved more efficient
in the long term.
