Overview of the Project The project is a collaborative effort of the Republic of Kenya and the World Bank
Background Floods have ravaged most parts of the Western Kenya region for too long, causing great economic loss in terms of livelihoods and assets. Dealing with floods has basically been on response-terms of relief supplies. Construction of dykes has not assisted either, as this has only concentrated in the flood plains; this has aggravated the high levels of poverty in the area. The region has the highest poverty levels in the country, the natural resource base has been deteriorating and this has also increased vulnerability of the local communities to poverty and flood menace.
As at 31st March, 2009, theproject has received a request of Ksh 190,167,568.00 from the communities towards SLD and Micro-projects.(see download)
