Organizational Context
WFP Kenya provides refugees living in Dadaab and Kakuma camps with unconditional food and nutrition assistance through cash and food transfers, while investing in solutions that increase refugees’ self-reliance including supporting livelihoods diversification.
WFP Kenya supports resilient food system by providing conditional food or cash assistance in food insecure communities to fill their immediate food gaps as they create climate-resilient assets for increasing production and diversifying livelihoods. WFP Kenya also supports smallholder farmers in accessing markets, agricultural inputs, credit, and technologies, and works with traders and retailers to address inefficiencies in food supply chains.
