EfD Authors:

Background: Kenya has prioritized Primary Health Care as an indispensable foundation to realize UHC by 2022. Integral to this approach’s operationalization is the adoption of the primary health care networks (PCNs) model to strengthen service delivery efficiency and coordination. The PCNs are coordinated by a Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). The MDT is dynamic and should comprise a care and support team that matches patient health needs and the catchment population.

Welfare effects and gender dimensions of adoption of climate smart agriculture practices: Evidence from Kenyan small-scale farmers

Submitted by Jane Nyawira Maina on
EfD Authors:

Agricultural production in Kenya is predominantly rain-fed and highly vulnerable to climate variability and change. Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA) is thus being promoted with the aim of increasing agricultural productivity, adapting to the changing climate, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Despite increased adoption of CSA practices by smallholder farmers, the heterogenous welfare effects are hardly understood as the results have been mixed.

EfD Authors:

Globally, households are exposed to various magnitudes of vulnerability within the context of solid waste management. Persistence in unsustainable waste management practices may interfere with climate change impact. This research aims at assessing knowledge and exposure of households due to unsustainable waste practices which may infringe on climate change impacts and adaptation in Ebonyi state. Identified households with varying magnitude of vulnerability provide focus for improving climate change adaptation, knowledge and reduce exposure to related impact of climate in Ebonyi State.
