Cash, Climate, and Community
As Kenya faces intensifying climate shocks and persistent food insecurity, adaptive social protection is emerging as a vital tool for resilience. Programs like the Hunger Safety Net Programme (HSNP) and KSEIP2 are pioneering cash-plus models that combine digital payments, early warning systems, and climate-smart livelihoods to protect vulnerable households.
In arid counties like Turkana and Wajir, these interventions are not just safety nets, they’re lifelines.
At BRICS Insights, we believe that aligning social protection with climate adaptation is key to safeguarding Kenya’s development gains and ensuring no one is left behind.
