1. SUMMARY
Kenya continues to experience humanitarian
emergencies linked to natural disasters such
as drought and floods, ethno-political and
resource-based conflicts, and outbreaks of
human and livestock diseases. However, the
2011 short-rains and 2012 long-rains
seasons brought relief to protracted drought
conditions. This reduced the number of
food-insecure people from 3.75 million at the
beginning of the year to 2.1 million as of
October. It is expected that the current
short-rains season will further improve food-
security conditions and reduce the food-
insecure population. Nutrition surveys
carried out in Arid and Semi-Arid Land
(ASAL) areas in 2012 also reflect this
improvement, showing significantly reduced
malnutrition levels in some ASAL counties
(Turkana, Mandera, Moyale and Kajiado).
The expected caseload of children under age 5 suffering from acute malnutrition has declined
from 385,000 in January 2012 to 300,000 as of October 2012. However, the situation in Wajir
County and Mandera East has not improved; these counties account for 75,644 (25%) of
expected caseloads.
As the March 2013 elections draw near, the risk of increased inter-communal violence is a key
concern. In 2012, more than 80,000 people have been displaced to date by inter-communal
violence including in Moyale, Tana Delta, Isiolo, Mandera and Wajir. In addition, attacks on
schools have become an emerging issue, confirmed in an assessment by the Ministry of
Education through the Education Sector and in the findings of the district steering group in Isiolo.
Between November 2011 and October 2012, varied incidents of violence in Isiolo, Moyale and
Tana delta districts disrupted learning in schools, affecting at least 6,000 pupils and displacing
communities.
The situation in Somalia and South Sudan continues to influence the refugee dynamics across
the borders into Kenya where 673,788 refugees are hosted in the Dadaab and Kakuma refugee
camps and in Nairobi. The Kenya military offensive into Somalia began over a year ago and has
now been incorporated into the AMISOM mission to pursue Al-Shabaab militants. This military
operation has caused ongoing insecurity in north-eastern Kenya with numerous improvised-
explosive-device and grenade attacks, including in and around Dadaab. It has also hampered
humanitarian access.
Despite these challenges, Kenya is making impressive progress towards consolidating the gains
of humanitarian investment and creating an enabling environment to link emergency assistance
to longer-term development programming. Through its Vision 2030 Policy, the Government
continues to lay the foundations for longer-term recovery and development by strengthening its

key structures and institutional capacity. This is providing a critical opportunity for humanitarian
and development partners to participate in this process and help shape strategic planning. In
addition, the formation of the county structures in line with Kenya’s new constitution is giving
impetus to coordinated engagement at the sub-national level. Partners are also making
sustained efforts to align with other national policies and initiatives such as the Ending Drought
Emergencies campaign, the newly passed IDP bill and policy, and the draft disaster risk
management policy. The 2011-2013 Kenya Emergency Humanitarian Response Plan and multi-
year strategy has also provided the opportunity and mechanism for stakeholders to not only plan
responses to immediate acute needs, but also integrate resilience in humanitarian programming.
This has helped build national and local capacity for emergency preparedness and response.
2013 marks the end of the multi-year strategy and the transition to longer-term programming
through the engagement of development frameworks.
The 2013 Emergency Humanitarian Response Plan comprises 116 projects from more than 50
organizations. It requests US$743 million for humanitarian action.1

Crisis Description
Drivers of the crisis:
Conflict and insecurity: inter-communal ethnic tensions, political violence, pending resettlement of internally displaced populations, competition for scarce resources and Kenya’s military intervention in Somalia
Food Security: Pastoral and marginal agricultural communities in ASALs are almost completely dependent on rains to sustain their livelihoods and are therefore vulnerable to erratic rains and drought. Food-security improvements could be underminded by persistently above-average maize prices, flooding during the short-rains season, and water-borne and vector-borne livestock diseases that can accompany above-average rains.
Refugees: Conflict and food insecurity in Somalia continue to bring in new refugees in Kenya.
Needs Profile:
Conflict and Insecurity: For planning purposes, the figure of 100,000- 150,000 potential caseload of affected peoplehas been proposed for election preparedness.
Food Security: the food-insecure population is estimated at 2.1 million people.

HUMANITARIAN DASHBOARD
Strategic Objectives
1. The humanitarian needs of highly vulnerable people
affected by natural and man-made disasters are met
through life-saving assistance.
2. Communities have enhanced resilience, reducing the
impact of disasters, and lessened chronic vulnerability by
means of DRR and early-recovery approaches.
3. Increased commitment on the part of the Government of
Kenya and development actors to address issues of
chronic vulnerability and provide durable solutions.

Progress towards objective 1 and challenges:
Coordination
Progress has been noted in a number of key areas. As a result of findings of the Real-Time
Evaluation and other lessons-learned activities, the priority areas for strengthening coordination in
2012 included improved support to and links with coordination structures at sub-national level;
better integration of cross-cutting issues; and establishment of a multi-sector needs-assessment
framework for response to sudden-onset emergencies. At sub-national level, support to sector-
specific coordination and inter-sector coordination has progressed. This has included a number
of consultations and follow-up activities to identify and address areas for development, issue
specific trainings (gender and HIV/AIDS), and more frequent and systematic interaction between
national and sub-national structures. Additional opportunities for further strengthening are also
presented through the establishment of the county structures. In the area of integration of cross-
cutting issues, the formation of an inter-sector working group has contributed to support the
sectors and the inter-agency preparedness and response planning by providing technical
guidance in a number of key cross-cutting areas. This included support to trainings, support to
the Emergency Humanitarian Response Plan (EHRP) process and sector-specific briefings and
orientations.
In 2012, partners have also worked together to develop a multi-sector rapid-assessment tool for
use in sudden-onset emergencies. The initial phase of the process is closely linked with
contingency planning for elections in order to facilitate a common approach to initial assessments
around agreed information parameters. However, it is expected that following the initial phase
the tool will be adapted for use in a variety of sudden-onset situations.
Food Assistance
For the drought operation, WFP’s food distributions in January improved substantially, with 83%
of food distributed through GFD and FFA. On average, 84% of the 2.2 million beneficiaries
targeted were reached by July 2012. 61% of 43,800 severely malnourished people and 41% of
the 136,360 moderately malnourished children under age 5 five received treatment (January-July
2012). Within the first half of the year, the Food Assistance Working Group was activated to
improve the coordination of emergency and recovery in-kind and cash food-assistance activities,
targeting people in need in ASAL regions of Kenya.
69% of the target population (1.3 million people) have accessed at least 7.5 litres of water per
person per day, while 247,606 (16%) of the target population were reached with hygiene-
promotion interventions.
Nutrition
Involvement of the Ministry of Public Health & Sanitation (MOPHS) and Ministry of Medical
Services (MOMS) in high-impact nutrition interventions (HINI) implementation (national and
provincial sensitization meetings in the pilot districts of Isiolo, Samburu and Marsabit and
subsequent sensitization and roll-out to all ASALs districts have contributed to an increased
number of health facilities offering a full package of HINI services. This enabled greater access
of services by beneficiaries. There has been a significant reduction in global acute malnutrition
(GAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) levels during the year, with major improvements in
some areas in selected ASALs (Turkana, Mandera, Moyale and Kajiado) mainly attributed to the
access of the HINI coupled with favourable food-security status and provision of food and non-
food services. The acute malnutrition performance indicators were above the SPHERE
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
13
standards. Some of the challenges noted include cultural practices hindering the uptake of health
and nutrition services, health workers’ low motivation to provide nutrition services and a heavy
workload that constrains provision of quality services. Ineffective distribution systems and lack of
tracking systems for micronutrient commodities lead to frequent pipeline breaks, especially for the
iron folate supply.
WASH
A total of 1,580,826 people (81% of the target population) had access to at least 7.5 litres of
water per person per day, while 1,270,238 people (66% of the target population) were reached
with hygiene and sanitation interventions. The main challenge of monitoring progress towards
this objective was actors’ poor reporting, particularly those funded outside of the EHRP 2012.
Health
Progress noted under this sector includes the establishment of health and nutrition coordination
platforms at national level and in eight districts supported by WHO technical staff. The national
health sector multi-partner drought response plan was also developed and WHO deployed
technical staff for support to MoH and partners in Garissa, Marsabit and Turkana. A re-
orientation was conducted for 52 district health teams to establish early warning and response
networks and for the health partners in the two refugee camps.
Multi-sector for Refugees
Security developments in Somalia have evolved dramatically since 2011. This has affected
Kenya’s policy on Somalia and on hosting Somali refugees. Heightened security concerns in
Kenya led to the country’s military intervention in Somali territory in 2011. Current hopes for a
continued growth of stability in Somalia have led to expectations of early voluntary repatriation by
Somali refugees.
The outcome of this collaborative process is embodied in an Operations Continuity Plan, which is
a practical guide on how to provide coordinated and uninterrupted protection and services in the
insecure environment of the Dadaab refugee complex. The Operations Continuity Plan relies
greatly on the use of refugee capacity, nationals and local partners to deliver assistance.
While the Dadaab complex registered more than 5,700 new arrivals from Somalia, bringing the
total population in these camps to some 463,788, the biggest jump in population growth occurred
in Kakuma Camp in Turkana County, where 14,000 new arrivals, mostly from South Sudan, were
registered between January and September 2012. With a population exceeding 145,000,
Kakuma is rapidly running out of space. There has been a deepening strain on limited essential
services and infrastructure capacity due to the rapid growth in refugees, resulting in risks to public
health and the safety and welfare of refugees and host communities. Some of the challenges
include insecurity where, during the recent past, the security situation in the Dadaab area moved
from low-risk and stable to high-risk and dangerous following incidents including the abduction of
aid workers and fatal attacks on refugee leaders and Kenyan security forces. This led to more
restrictive security measures that curtailed humanitarian access to the camps and obliged the
Government of Kenya, UNHCR, partners and the refugee leadership to explore new ways to
continue delivering assistance and protection. Dwindling public support and sympathy for people
of concern is another issue facing the refugee operation in Kenya. There is a perception that
refugees pose a threat to Kenya’s national security and internal stability, and that they represent
a financial and environmental burden.

Progress towards objective 2 and challenges:

Categories and disaggregated number of people in need and beneficiaries
The severe drought that culminated with the failure of the long rains of 2011, following several
years of successive dry conditions and poor rains, hurt vulnerable pastoralist and agropastoralist
communities in Kenya, particularly in the country’s ASALs. According to the Agriculture and
Livestock Sector partners, an estimated 4.6 million people required livelihood support at the time
of the EHRP launch in December 2011, including 2.2 million people in need of food aid. An
assessment following the October to December 2011 short rains noted improved conditions, with
availability of water, browse and pasture having improved livestock productivity. Food supply
also improved following the short rains harvests.
The mixed performance of the long rains from March to May 2012 resulted in contrasting food
security conditions. Although the food security situation improved in some areas, the number of

food-insecure people declined only marginally. An estimated 2.1 million people were classified in
either the “crisis” or “stressed” phases of food insecurity. In general, the food-insecure population
declined by about 20% in the pastoral districts but increased by nearly 25% in the south-eastern
and coastal marginal agricultural zones.
Food and livelihood interventions contributed to food security improvements in many places and
moderated the possible decline in the food security situation in areas where the rains performed
poorly. Despite recommendations from the Government of Kenya (GoK) and sector partners for
support to livelihood and resilience-building emergency and early recovery programmes, the
Agriculture and Livestock Sector received only 25% of the funding requested ($8.7 million of
$35.5 million requested).
In terms of livelihood support, partners still managed to reach 45% of the 2.2 million beneficiaries
deemed most vulnerable at the launch of the EHRP in December 2011. Despite underfunding,
partners made use of synergies in existing programmes, efficiencies in programme
implementation and good coordination to reach these beneficiaries.
With regard to livestock, interventions included strategic restocking of animals, support to disease
surveillance and animal health, support to livestock markets, community natural resource
management and fodder production. Agriculture partners supported provision and bulking of
drought-tolerant seeds, vouchers for seeds, tools, food and non-food items, post-harvest storage,
water harvesting and irrigation schemes. Following early warning of an increased risk of poor
rains in the eastern parts of the country during the March to May long-rains season, agriculture
and livestock sector partners developed a 90-day response plan to mitigate any further erosion of
livelihoods in these areas through support to remote markets and commercial destocking.
Support was also provided to areas affected by flash floods and districts affected by the outbreak
of maize-lethal necrosis disease later in the year.
Challenges
Distribution of free food and non-food items has created dependency of vulnerable
households in most ASAL areas. More effort is required to sensitize and convince
communities to engage in more sustainable activities, such as voucher/cash-for-work
activities.
Free distribution of food has led to market distortions in some cases.
Limited resources despite large area and high number of beneficiaries led to limited
coverage.
Short project duration does not always permit adequate follow-up of agriculture and
livestock activities, which often require a longer time horizon.
Getting gender-segregated data/information in agriculture has proven to be difficult.
Despite a significant amount of work in promoting fodder development in the ASALs,
access to quality dry-land seed remains a major limiting factor
Poor infrastructure negatively affected the delivery of time-critical inputs, such as poultry.
Lessons learned
Building communities’ capacity on community-based seed production as opposed to free
seed distribution resulted in access and spread of seeds of improved drought-tolerant
varieties of open-pollinated crops such sorghum, millets, beans, cowpea, green grams,
pigeon pea and dolichos lablab.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
20
Engaging communities in voucher-/cash-for-work activities, especially in rehabilitating
collapsed irrigation infrastructures and constructing soil and water conservation,
empowered them and created ownership and sustainability and improved local economy.
The potential of marginal agriculture areas of eastern Kenya can be harnessed by
constructing water harvesting structures such as sand dams and using such dams for
small-scale high-value crop production (e.g. vegetable irrigation).
Food security at the household level can be enhanced through the use of metal silo
storage technology.
Engagement with markets and market forces is essential for ASAL-based livelihood work,
particularly for livestock but also for crop production (i.e., due to transport limitations and
a highly dispersed population, fresh produce markets are limited).
Village community-banking systems are useful building blocks for development in the
ASALs. However, they need to be linked to other initiatives (such as markets, water user
associations or small-scale trade) in order to ensure that there are opportunities for
investment of money saved.
The use of meat vouchers through the dry period can be exceptionally effective in
maintaining functional markets and livestock prices.
Small-scale high-value vegetable production (particularly in ASALs) can be an
exceptionally effective way of empowering women and youth.
Coordination
The engagement of UN agencies (including sector leads) in the disaster risk reduction (DRR)
elements of the current UNDAF Outcome 2.2 has provided a platform to work with development
partners on elements of the resilience-building agenda. The working group on this outcome area
has ramped up efforts over the past year, with a focus on coordination, policy and capacity-
building. The Ending Drought Emergencies country plan, which has been elaborated by the GoK,
has also provided key direction in the national leadership of resilience-building activities.
Early recovery
The Early Recovery Sector led a number of initiatives around documenting programmes and
initiatives that incorporate early recovery and disaster risk reduction approaches. This is
expected to provide useful best practices to help organisations implement these approaches in
the design of their preparedness and response initiatives. Profiling and documented field level
early recovery initiatives in Garissa / Turkana were also undertaken. In addition, 150 GoK staff
members with decision-making authority have been trained in DRR / ER.
Nutrition
Resilience of most affected populations was influenced through continued focus on scaling-up
High impact nutrition interventions (HINIs), thus ability for beneficiaries to demand and use the
nutrition services. Malnourished beneficiaries were linked to other sectorial interventions like
GFD, WASH and livestock and agriculture to cushion the underlying vulnerabilities.
The strengthening of existing GoK capacities and systems through the maintained operational
capacity of the UNICEF-supported nutrition support officers ensured that the district/county
government officials were able to deliver nutrition services adequately even in heightened
emergency situations such as conflicts and security situations. Inclusion of nutrition indicators in
HMIS and the rollout of DHIS and routine feedback system have increased reporting,
centralization and dissemination of nutrition information, and thus strengthened the early warning
systems to ensure early response.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
21
In terms of challenges, strengthened reporting is still needed in urban and non-emergency areas.
There is also a need to improve the inter-sector collaboration at sub-national level and linkages
with other relevant government sectors for nutrition outcomes/nutrition sensitive policies.
Health
302,000 children under age 5 were vaccinated against measles and polio and received vitamin A
supplementation and deworming in the Dadaab refugee camps and five hosting districts. In
addition, monthly health promotion activities were conducted in 30 communities in Turkana
district. Surge capacity was specifically established in Garissa for response to the Dadaab
refugee camp and health kits were made available for 300,000 families in refugee camps and
host communities. Potential large-scale disease outbreaks were averted because of early
detection and the availability of essential drugs and laboratory reagents.
Food
Achievements noted under the Food Sector include eight districts launching DRR/resilience and
asset creation food projects.100% of 600 targeted micro-DRR projects are also underway.
Nutrition is also linked to other assistance programmes, including food and WASH. Focus was
also given to improved communal water storage and strengthened capacity in water
management. In terms of challenges, it was noted that cash transfers to CFA beneficiaries were
low because of resource constraints. In this regard, a strategic decision was reached to use a
combination of both food and cash to affected areas. Retroactive compensations for the month of
May and June were effected in September and October 2012.
WASH
The Sector encouraged approaches that built on community resilience in WASH interventions.
This included the strengthening of capacities for water management committees, with a focus on
giving communities knowledge to sustainably maintain water sources; use of community-based,
participatory approaches in hygiene and sanitation promotion, with a focus on beneficiaries as
agents of change in their communities; and harnessing water from rainy seasons and improving
communal water storage to protect communities from prolonged periods of drought.
Education
Educational materials were distributed, schools rehabilitated and school gardens and water-
harvesting projects were undertaken. The Sector also focused on peace education and life skills
and also included water management and food security. Emergency Preparedness and
Response Plan (EPRP) and DRR material was finalized with the MoE in lead. The Education
Sector also provided educational supplies and boarding supplies to schools in drought-affected
areas outside camps.

Substitutes Act and others). Furthermore, progress has already been achieved in relation to the
establishment of coordination mechanisms at county level. In terms of development frameworks,
UN agencies with humanitarian programmes are also engaged in the current UNDAF process,
including around the issue of DRR.
Early recovery/disaster risk reduction
Progress is noted in the continued advocacy and lobbying for the enactment of the Disaster
Response Management Policy through MoSSP. In addition, DRR/ER-specific ToRs have been
developed for GoK focal points for inclusion in performance contracts.
Health
The Health Sector is facilitating the finalisation of the pandemic /large-scale disaster
preparedness and response plan by the National Disaster Operations Centre. The sector is also
supporting electronic Early Warning and Response Networks (EWARNs) to enable remote health
facilities to promptly report disasters and disease outbreaks.
Challenges
The national-level emergency coordination structures were fragmented and national leadership
was delegated to several ministries or departments. Health and nutrition were divorced from
each other as two separate sectors under WHO and UNICEF respectively but chaired by one
Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation. At the Health Sector level, there was more participation
from the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation and very little from the Ministry of Medical
Services. There was also a threefold increase in per capita attendance at health facilities for
normal conditions which were not factored in the original planning.
Lessons learned
Enhancing early warning systems in targeted high-risk districts, pre-positioning and surge
capacities at strategic locations improved early disease detection and response to disease
outbreaks with large epidemic potential, which were promptly averted. It was also important to
disaggregate national disease trends. Whereas the national data showed little deviation from the
norm, when the data was disaggregated and analysed based on districts, large discrepancies in
the incidence of diseases and disease outbreaks were detected for malaria, measles and
diarrhoea.
Food
Four GoK officials were sent for training to Israel (plastic agriculture); two GoK and two WFP
officials attended exchange programmes in Ethiopia on the R4 initiative; and four vehicles were
donated to the GoK line ministries (two to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation, one to the Ministry
of Agriculture, and one to the Ministry of Public Health).
Education
The GoK through the Ministry of Education has participated actively in training of sector partners
in conducting assessments and in information collection and sharing. Education in Emergencies
is being included in the National Education Sector Support Programme which will lead to a
cabinet paper for financial support. Participation of senior officials of the MoE in policy
discussions and the inclusion of semi-autonomous education agencies such as KIE, TSC (now
autonomous) and other stakeholders including the University of Nairobi in Education in
Emergencies is an indication of serious commitment. Also of note is progress with regard to
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
24
Education in Emergencies to be integrated into the National Education Sector Support
Programme.
Nutrition
More than 10 years of advocacy and lobbying has resulted in the Breast Milk Substitutes
(Regulation and Control) Act 2012 enacted by Parliament in October 2012. The Act provides for
appropriate marketing and distribution of breast milk substitutes, ensuring optimal, safe and
adequate nutrition for Kenyan children. There has been increased political commitment from high
level interactions such as the launch of the FNSP which paved way for Kenya signing up as the
30th country to the “Scaling Up Nutrition” movement which provides a framework and a road map
for the realization of the MDGs. The nutrition plan of action defines the high-impact interventions
from community, county to national level and articulates opportunities for resource mobilization,
enhancing partnership and ensuring better financing of nutrition.
Increased commitment on the part of the GoK and development actors to address issues of
chronic vulnerability and to provide durable solutions has been evident. For instance, the GoK
has increased the funding of nutrition allocation as part of the Government heath sector budget
and has negotiated a credit from the World Bank to fund therapeutic nutrition supplies.
Challenges noted include poor target-setting, costing of plans and the need to ensure consistency
in systematic tracking of funding for nutrition for the Government health sector and other sectors.

Review of humanitarian funding
Since the first EHRP process in 2008, a total of $2.9 billion has been requested through the
mechanism to mobilize assistance for the internally displaced, refugees and those affected by
food and livelihoods crisis, disease outbreaks and other emergencies. To date $2 billion (73%)
has been received against the EHRP since 2008.
In 2012, the humanitarian community appealed for $797 million, of which $578 million (73%) has
been received as of November 2012. An additional $16.5 million has been pledged which, if
realized, will increase funding to 75%. Of funds committed to the 2012 appeal, $132 million is
reported in carry-over funding from 2011 in the food and refugee sectors. An additional $94
million in funding to projects outside of the EHRP framework has been reported to FTS. (Of that
$94 million, donors reported almost half of it without specifying the recipient organization, making
it likely that a major part of it is actually for actions planned in the CAP.)
Funding trends within the appeal are in line with those seen in previous years, with the Food
Sector and refugee response accounting for more than 82% of funds requested and 89% of the
total funds received. In the other sectors, relative coverage continues to vary significantly.
However, there have been notable improvements in the relative coverage of some sectors in
2012, most notably in education and health. Early recovery, protection and WASH currently
remain below 25% funded.
In looking at project prioritization, the projects ranked as highest priority overall received 75% of
the $744 million requested whilst only 7% of the $53 million required for medium-priority projects
was received. Similarly, funding in line with gender marker scores saw the majority of funds
allocated to projects with either a 2a (projects designed to contribute significantly to gender
equality) or 2b (projects whose the principle purpose is to advance gender equality) score. In

total these projects represented 89% of the total EHRP requirements and 91% ($526 million) of
funds received. Projects with a score of 1 (those designed to contribute in some limited way to
gender equality) received 41% of the $74.5 million required.
The largest donors in 2012 were the U.S., the U.K., Japan, the European Commission, Germany
and Canada. Collectively their contributions have accounted for 83% of contributions in 2012
(excluding carry-over funds).
Pooled funds
In early 2012, early warning of a possible intensification of drought conditions in parts of eastern
and north-eastern Kenya prompted the Kenya Humanitarian Partnership Team to request $2
million from the CERF rapid response window to launch early action initiatives. The funds were
channelled through FAO and UNICEF to undertake priority interventions in the agriculture and
livestock sector and to ensure a continuation of critical nutrition interventions.
In 2012, the ERF has so far allocated $1,165,654 to eight organizations (four local and four
international organizations) for response in the areas of Agriculture and Livestock; Capacity
Building in the form of security training; Early Recovery; Education; Food Security; WASH; and
Protection.

3. NEEDS ANALYSIS
Despite improvements in drought conditions in the ASALs, Kenya still faces a range of disaster
risks. Communities remain vulnerable to disasters due to factors, including poverty, livelihood
insecurity, and settlement in areas prone to seasonal flooding or with poor infrastructure and
services, such as informal urban settlements. These factors, coupled with recurrent hazards
such as droughts, floods, landslides, epidemic outbreaks and climatic change, pose significant
risks to much of Kenya’s population.
According to the Ministry of Planning and National Development, Kenya’s population is about 40
million people, with an average life expectancy of 53 years for men and 55 years for women in
2011. This population, growing at the rate of 2.7% and largely youthful (60% of the population is
under 25 years old) is bound to be adversely affected, particularly with the high poverty rates
(57% of Kenyans live below the poverty line), unemployment, the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS
and an economy largely dependent on rain-fed agriculture. These indicators suggest that a
significant proportion of the population is highly vulnerable to disasters, and any small,
predisposing factor may result in emergencies of high proportion, often culminating in national
disasters.
Food and livelihood security
The mixed performance of the long rains
(March-May 2012) caused contrasting food-
security conditions in Kenya. Although the
situation improved in some areas, the
number of food-insecure people declined
only marginally. According to the 2012 Long
Rains Season Assessment Report issued by
the Kenya Food Security Steering Group
(KFSSG) in September 2012, an estimated
2.1 million people in Kenya’s ASALs are
classified as being in either the crisis or
stressed phases of food insecurity,
compared with 2.2 million people after the
short-rains assessments in February 2012.
In general, the food-insecure population declined by about 20% in the pastoral districts but
increased by nearly 25% in the south-eastern and coastal marginal agricultural zones. The
marginal mixed farming areas of the south-eastern and coastal lowlands suffered their third
successive failed or poor season.
Most parts of the country are expected to receive enhanced rainfall ranging from mild to moderate
El Niño episodes during the October-December 2012 short-rains season. Rainfall distribution in
space and time is also expected to be generally good, but it is likely to cause localized flooding.
The peak lean season is expected to be unusually intense in most parts of the south-eastern and
coastal marginal agriculture zone, and in parts of the north-eastern pastoral area including
southern Wajir, northern Garissa, Tana River and Ijara. In some of these areas, tensions,
conflicts and insecurity may limit households’ capacity to engage in normal livelihood activities.

Although maize prices are expected to continue declining, they remain consistently above the
five-year average. The decline is likely to be slowed down by the below-average long-rains
output and maize hoarding by households as a precaution during the election period. Similarly,
heightened political activities may disrupt market activities, constraining supply and consequently
increasing consumer prices.
Based on predictions by the Kenya Meteorological Department, enhanced rains are also
expected during the March-May 2013 long-rains season. As a result, the food-insecure
population is expected to decline from 2.1 million to 1.8 million people. This positive outlook is
strengthened by casual labour opportunities in rural areas; expected increased output of crops
between January and February 2013; improved livestock productivity; and a likely decrease in
food prices due to increased production.
Enhanced short rains will result in a considerable recharge of water sources and regeneration of
pasture and browse in pastoral zones. Consequently, milk production, consumption and surplus
supply at markets will increase. Similarly, water availability, access and consumption will improve
in many parts, particularly in the pastoral and marginal agricultural livelihood zones where water
access has been a problem.
Flooding during the short-rains season could also disrupt food and livestock markets, as well as
waterborne and vectorborne livestock diseases that characteristically accompany above average
rains. The enhanced rainfall also jeopardizes harvesting; there may be substantial losses due to
rotting as heavy rains fall on maize. The spread of maize-lethal necrosis disease is also a
continued threat.
Despite improvements to pasture and browse conditions in 2012, successive previous dry periods
combined with poor long rains in 2012 continue to negatively affect north-eastern and north-
western pastoral areas, as well as some areas along the coastal belt. Recurrent drought
continues to be the major food-security threat in Kenya’s ASALs. Crop failures, livestock deaths
and resource-based conflict negatively impact the livelihoods of pastoralists and agropastoralists
in these areas, which continue to experience food insecurity at the household level. Overall, the
inability of food-insecure households to recover fully from recurrent shocks and hazards suggests
the need for a mix of immediate and medium-term food and non-food interventions that seek to
mitigate urgent needs, restore livelihoods and build resilience.
Nutrition
Nutrition surveys carried out in the ASAL areas in 2012 indicate a significant reduction in GAM
and SAM levels in Turkana, Mandera, Moyale and Kajiado. The expected caseload of children
under age 5 suffering from acute malnutrition in the ASAL areas has declined from 385,000 in
January 2012 to 300,000 as of October 2012. This is due to the increased access of quality
HINIs and the food-security improvements thanks to food and non-food interventions. However,
the situation in Wajir County and Mandera East has not improved. Mandera and Wajir counties
account for 75,644 (25%) of the expected caseload. The access and use of quality nutrition
services in ASAL regions remain very low. In urban informal settlements, about 9,500 children
will require treatment for acute malnutrition in 2013. The difference in child malnutrition between
the wealthiest and poorest households is twice as great in urban areas, highlighting the inequities
of urbanization and affecting 1.7 million children living in poverty in urban areas.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013

Key infant and young-child feeding practices are still poor in Kenya: 58% of babies start to
breastfeed within one hour of birth.2 Fewer than 32% of babies are exclusively breastfed within
the first six months3 and only 6% of hospitals meet national care standards. Other foods and
drinks are introduced too early, some immediately after birth. Interventions to promote, protect
and support infant feeding need to be accelerated.
Micronutrient deficiencies continue to be highly prevalent among children under age 5 and
women. According to the 2012 nutrition surveys and nutrition routine data from the District Health
Information system (DHIS), incremental gains have been reported but the indicators are below
national targets. Overall, only 36% of children under age 5 received one dose of vitamin A (HIS
January-June 2012), while only 11% of pregnant women received the minimum recommended
dose of iron folate (DHIS January-June 2012). Resilience of the most affected people can be
significantly influenced through continued focus on scaling up HINIs while continuing to
strengthen existing capacities and systems.
Health
In 2013, Health Sector partners will continue to respond to various health emergencies such as
outbreaks of dengue fever, rift valley fever and other haemorrhagic fevers, as well as cholera,
polio, malaria, hepatitis E and measles in refugee camps and host communities. Conflicts,
terrorism and potential election violence will also contribute to mass casualty disasters in the
targeted hotspots as well as urban fires in Nairobi and the large slums. The Health Sector has
often responded promptly, thereby mitigating the disasters’ impact.
Refugees’ health-related humanitarian needs will persist, especially as the camps are currently
experiencing disease outbreaks. These are compounded by cross-border challenges such as
easy transmission of diseases. The weak and over-stretched health-care delivery system has not
recovered. According to the PDNA, it will require at least $60 million over five years, a process
that has yet to begin. The devolution of governance will also pose a challenge to the Health
Sector in the short term for management and coordination capacity.
The Health Sector is therefore targeting prompt response to humanitarian needs, supporting
resilience within the communities and also supporting capacity-building for the counties to
respond to DRR and disaster management in their localities.
WASH
Rainfall distribution during the October-December rains is expected to be generally good over
most parts of the country, and the water levels for surface-water sources and the recharge
capacity for groundwater sources are supposed to increase. However, localized flooding is
expected in some areas, particularly in the western part of the country and the Tana River basin.
The last El Niño event in 1999 affected at least 1.5 million people in the country.
Although the flooding situation is expected to be less severe this time, it may still cause
displacements and disrupt water and sanitation services, which may increase the risk of
transmission of waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, dysentery and malaria. Other
typical at-risk areas for waterborne diseases include peri-urban slums and informal settlements,
as well as IDP camps where basic water and sanitation infrastructure is not adequate and
minimum requirements of clean water and sanitation are usually not met. Cross-border

30
movements, particularly along the Somalia and Ethiopia borders, have also shown that
communities living along the borders are vulnerable to waterborne diseases.
The WASH Sector will therefore need to prioritize “soft” interventions during this period, including
promoting household water treatment and storage practices, hygiene awareness and provision of
options for safe sanitation practices. Infrastructural support should take into consideration
sustainability issues such as the WASH facility designs and structures for maintaining the
facilities.
Education
Vulnerable children’s education is affected by
various emergencies, such as droughts
affecting the arid and semi-arid districts, with
140,000 children requiring support to continue
their education. Election violence and floods
forecasts may affect over 64,000 school-going
children4 in Western Kenya, parts of Upper
Eastern, parts of North Eastern and the Tana
Delta. Some pastoralist and agricultural
marginal areas are experiencing a slow onset
of drought due to below-average rainfall.
Therefore, a key objective is to enhance
school retention and continuity of access to education for nearly 1 million boys and girls by
providing food, water, hygiene, learning materials and gender-sensitive sanitation facilities.
The continuing influx of refugees has strained the existing educational facilities in the host
communities around Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps. According to an inter-agency
assessment of the Education Sector in Dadaab, the pupil-classroom ratio is 113:1, while the
teacher-pupil ratio is 1:85. Moreover, over 48,000 refugee school-age boys and girls are
currently out of school. There is an urgent need to support the refugee schools as well as the
host-community schools around Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps with requisite educational
teaching and learning materials. There is a further need to train the refugee teachers on multi-
grade teaching to handle large classes. In Dadaab, for example, only 20% of the more than 980
teachers are certified. Teachers in host communities could also benefit from psycho-social
programmes offered to teachers working in the camps.
Increasing caseloads of refugees in Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps have also become
issues of great concern. For instance, 63% of the school-age population in Kakuma refugee
camp is missing out on primary education as the classes available can only accommodate 37% of
the population.5 Girls are particularly affected as many are not in school and only a few transit to
secondary school for those who attend school. The total transition rate in Kakuma to secondary
schools is 7%, while in Dadaab it is 5%. It is noteworthy that about 26,283 girls (close to 60%)
are still missing out on education, while 20,760 of the boys (close to 40%) are missing out on
education in Dadaab according to the same assessment.
Between November 2011 and October 2012, varied incidents of violence in Isiolo, Moyale and
Tana Delta districts disrupted learning in schools, affected at least 6,000 pupils and displaced

communities. Attacks on schools were witnessed as an emerging issue and verified through an
assessment carried out by the MoE and also from the findings of the DSG in Isiolo. .
Refugees
The precarious situation in Somalia as a result of conflict and insecurity continues to generate
knock-on effects in neighbouring Kenya where approximately 471,000 refugees are hosted in the
north-eastern Dadaab camps. Despite the continued closure of the Kenya-Somalia border and
the suspension of registration of new arrivals, an estimated 100 Somalis arrive per day. They are
reportedly continuing to stream in and settle in the outskirts of Dagahaley and in Ifo 2 camps.
Insecurity in Dadaab continues to be a serious problem affecting the delivery of services to
refugees and their physical protection and well-being. There have been incidents of humanitarian
staff abduction; various improvised-device explosions mainly targeting police escorts; vehicle
hijackings; assassinations of refugee community leaders; banditry incidents inside and outside
the camps; and several demonstrations and riots by refugee and host communities. The
proximity of the operation to the porous border with Somalia and the ongoing Kenyan military
involvement inside the country has been a key cause of the heightened insecurity in the whole
North-Eastern Province, particularly in the Dadaab camps.
The Dadaab complex registered more than 5,700 new arrivals from Somalia, bringing the total
population in these camps to some 474,100 people. However, the biggest jump in population
growth occurred in Kakuma Camp
in Turkana County, where 14,000
new arrivals, mostly from South
Sudan, were registered between
January and September 2012.
With a population exceeding
101,000, Kakuma is rapidly
running out of space. There has
been a deepening strain on limited
essential services and
infrastructure capacity due to the
rapid growth in refugee numbers,
resulting in risks to public health
and the safety and welfare of
refugees and host communities.
To address the issue of hosting new arrivals, a new camp site known as Kalobeyey, with a
capacity for 80,000 people, has been identified. Authorization for camp construction is still being
pursued.
Protection
The lack of comprehensive registration and profiling data on IDPs, particularly in reference to the
so-called integrated IDPs and forest evictees, continues to challenge the protection and
assistance environment for IDPs in the country.
The humanitarian crisis facing integrated IDPs who were affected by the 2007/2008 post-election
violence (PEV) and the forest evictees (arising from environmental management or development-
induced evictions) in the country is yet to be fully addressed. However, during 2012 there was a
notable change in policy, with the Government acknowledging the existence of forest evictees

32
and squatters. There are ongoing efforts to identify resettlement land for these groups. Recently,
a substantial number of Mau Forest Complex evictees were resettled, with the Government
reportedly facing immense constraints in providing NFIs (plastic sheets and basic domestic
items). There is still a need for close monitoring and support to the Government in the provision
of material assistance for forest evictees and victims of natural disasters.
On the political front, pursuant to the Constitution promulgated in 2010 and the reforms outlined in
Agenda item 4, Kenya has continued to implement constitutional, legislative and institutional
reforms ahead of the general elections on 4 March 2013.
The implementation of the Agenda 4 reforms have been ongoing, with some reform components
being decried as slow paced and constantly undermined by political conflicts. Critically, the the
Truth Justice and Reconciliation Commission (TJRC) has yet to release a substantive report on
its findings. Notably, the Government’s judiciary arm has been lauded for its positive efforts in
implementing judicial reforms and in restoring its image of independence and accountability
among citizens. More specifically, the establishment of the Independent Electoral and
Boundaries Commission and the enactment of both the Elections Act and the Political Parties Act
introduced significant safeguards in the election process in the context of multi-party politics.
However, these safeguards remain susceptible to political manipulation.
The mandate of the National Commission on Integration and Cohesion (NCIC) has been renewed
for a further one-year, avoiding the risk of reversing the modest and fragile gains made on
cohesion and peacebuilding. Considerable concerns have been raised regarding the NCIC’s
prosecutorial powers in dealing with hate speech, propaganda and incitement of violent offences,
with heightened calls to strengthen its mandate.
The country’s transition to a devolved system of governance, coupled with the electoral
boundaries delimitation process, has contributed to new conflict threats in non-traditional election
hotspot areas. Several security-related incidents, including deaths and displacement, have
recently been recorded in various parts of the country.
Against this background, it is apparent that the upcoming general elections could lead to more
violence and population displacements. As such, there is a need for close monitoring, instituting
early warning systems in perennial and emerging conflict hotspots, and scaling-up conflict
prevention and mitigation measures pre and postelection. The Protection Sector, within the
framework of the humanitarian pillar, is developing preparedness and coordinated multi-sectoral
interventions. A survey carried out recently by the Constitution & Reform Education Consortium
has identified likely hotspots of violence in the counties in accordance with analyses of varied risk
including parts of South Rift, Coast Province, Upper Eastern and informal settlements in Nairobi,
Nakuru, Kisumu and Mombasa.
Setting up common rapid needs-assessment mechanisms and tools
The Kenya Humanitarian Partnership Team has agreed to strengthen multi-sector assessments
in sudden-onset emergencies to ensure that humanitarian actors in Kenya use common
methodologies and tools for quality and comparativeness.
OCHA is working with the Assessment Capacities Project (ACAPS), UNICEF and the Emergency
Capacity-Building Project to facilitate a consultative process to review current assessment
practices and to identify an appropriate mechanism for future multi-sector assessments. The
process is being undertaken in three phases: consultation; agreement on and implementation of
an appropriate mechanism/tool; and a consolidation/capacity-building phase.

4. THE 2013 COMMON
HUMANITARIAN ACTION PLAN
Planning scenario
The planning scenario was developed around three thematic issues: conflict and insecurity;
climate change and food security; and refugee dynamics.
1. Conflict and insecurity
The March 2013 elections present opportunities and challenges. The country is expected to
witness political conflict before the general elections. The devolution of power to county level is
also likely to trigger leadership wrangles based on ethnic affinities due to competition for new
positions. In addition, political activists are likely to generate tension when citizens question the
suitability of the presidential candidates—two presidential aspirants are among four people facing
charges by the International Criminal Court for their alleged role in the 2007/2008 post-election
violence.
Moreover, the emergence of political groups, such as the Mombasa Republican Council, which is
calling for the secession of the Coast Province from Kenya, is symbolic of the underlying and
unresolved issues related to marginalization and unemployment in the region that sparked an
uprising among parts of the coastal population.
It is projected that the election period may generate violence that could affect 400,000 to 450,000
people. The figure assumes that not all of those affected will require assistance. For planning
purposes, the figure of 100,000-150,000 affected people has been proposed for election
preparedness from January to April 2013.
Additional factors, such as the pending resettlement of displaced people in Mt. Elgon and Mau
forest, will continue to generate tensions that could spark violence. The increasing number of
conflicts driven by competition for scarce resources, such as pasture and water for livestock as
witnessed in the Rift Valley, Upper Eastern and North Eastern provinces, are also likely to
generate rising numbers of displaced people. As has been witnessed, violent conflicts will
continue to assume an inter-communal dimension, thereby posing additional challenges in
peacebuilding and reconciliation efforts.
Kenya’s military role in Somalia has influenced heightened insecurity in north-eastern Kenya with
increased proliferation of arms and incursions of foreign militia across the porous Kenya-Somalia
border. Retaliatory attacks on Kenyan soil, especially in the north-east, are likely to increase,
resulting in the disruption of humanitarian operations and exacerbating the already dire
humanitarian conditions inside and outside the refugee camps.
2. Food security
The overall prognosis for the food-security situation based on climatic conditions is good, with
above-average rainfall expected for the two rainy seasons (October-December 2012 ‘short rains’
and March-May 2013 ‘long rains’). As a result, the food-insecure population is expected to
decline from 2.1 million to 1.8 million people.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
35
However, significant threats to the food-security situation remain. Despite the decline in the price
of maize, it remains at least 45% above the five-year average, which could undermine food-
security improvements. Flooding during the short-rains season could also disrupt food and
livestock markets, as well as water-borne and vector-borne livestock diseases that
characteristically accompany above-average rains.
Furthermore, deteriorating security conditions during the election period in early 2013 could have
negative repercussions, with the food-insecure population possibly rising to 3 million people.
Neglect of farm operations and harvests, looting and market disruptions would tend to worsen the
food-security situation.
Recurring erratic rains, drought and increasing incidents of floods are evidence of the impact of
climate change in Kenya. Pastoral and marginal agricultural livelihoods in the ASALs are almost
completely dependent on rains to sustain their livelihoods and are therefore increasingly
vulnerable to such shocks. This has led to conflict over natural resources, including water and
pasture for livestock.
3. Refugees
The precarious situation in Somalia due to conflict and insecurity continues to generate knock-on
effects in neighbouring Kenya where approximately 470,000 refugees are hosted in the north-
eastern Dadaab camps. The issue of security remains a key defining factor for the refugee
operations in Dadaab. The recent military successes in Kismayo and encouraging political
developments in Somalia present yet another change in the operational context of the refugee
operation, the consequences of which are yet to be seen. However, it is anticipated that there will
be increased pressure on refugees to return home and on UNHCR and the international
community to increase delivery assistance inside Somalia, especially in the potential areas of
return, i.e. those liberated by the Kenyan Army and those that were affected by the famine in
2011.
On the other hand, there is a possibility of infiltration by Al Shabaab elements that have been
dispersed from Kismayo and the Jubas into the Dadaab camps. This may further compound the
insecurity and tensions with the host authorities. So far, however, the implementation of the
programmes in the camps has not been dramatically affected by the stand of the central
authorities due to the careful balancing of UNHCR relations with local authorities in the Dadaab
area. In this regard, the planned devolution of power into the districts in 2013 is another unknown
element that may significantly influence the refugee operation next year.

The humanitarian strategy and strategic objectives
Response Strategy
By the end of 2013, the overall strategy for humanitarian programming in Kenya is to transition
out of humanitarian aid. While responding to residual acute humanitarian needs in the country,
humanitarian actors will support and strengthen the preparedness of national institutions and
local responders and the development of livelihoods, and they will address social protection
needs.
The 2013 EHRP focuses on the following three strategic objectives:
The humanitarian needs of highly vulnerable people affected by natural and man-made
disasters are met through life-saving assistance.
Communities have enhanced resilience, reducing the impact of disasters, and lessened
chronic vulnerability by means of DRR and early recovery approaches.
Increased commitment by the GoK and development actors to address issues of chronic
vulnerability and provide durable solutions.
The first strategic objective addresses life-saving and core emergency assistance. To this end,
humanitarian partners have prioritized the continued provision of multi-sector assistance to
refugees and ongoing relief assistance to people most affected by recurrent shocks (most
recently the 2010-2011 Horn of Africa crisis) in the ASAL areas. In addition, partners will focus
on other vulnerable groups, including those who remain displaced due to previous elections or
inter-communal violence and those at greatest risk in urban informal settlements. Also of key
concern is preparedness for the period before and after the general elections in March 2013,
during which many parts of the country face a heightened risk of inter-communal conflict. This
includes supporting the first-line response to the humanitarian impact of localized violence and
ensuring preparedness for any potential escalation.
The second strategic objective encourages increased efforts to reinforce recovery and build
resilience to recurrent shocks through DRR and early recovery approaches. In this regard,
humanitarian partners have agreed to continue to build on previous initiatives aimed at integrating
early recovery and DRR approaches, particularly in relation to communities repeatedly affected
by climatic shocks in ASAL areas. This includes humanitarian programming initiatives that
support longer-term resilience, such as voucher schemes or cash programming, building up
livelihoods or the contribution to improved access to services. A number of platforms exist for
coordinating lessons learned from these activities, including the national DRR platform, the newly
created ASAL alliance and the Early Recovery Working Group. Similarly, partners will continue to
engage in and support initiatives that aim to mobilize consolidated programming towards
improved resilience, such as the national Ending Drought Emergencies country plan.
The third strategic area of the EHRP refers to the integration of humanitarian priorities into
national and development frameworks. It is a key component of the 2013 plan. As this is the third
and final year of the current strategy, partners have agreed on the importance of consolidating
efforts in this regard. 2013 also offers some key opportunities for partners to advocate the
integration of humanitarian priorities into national structures and development plans. This
includes the second phase of the GoK’s Mid Term Plan (MTP II under Vision 2030, the formation
of the county structures, and the implementation of new policy and legislation (such as the
recently passed IDP bill and the draft disaster response management policy). In the international
development arena, the elaboration of a new UNDAF strategy in 2013 in line with the
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
37
Government’s MTP II will provide additional opportunities to link humanitarian priorities with
development plans in the coming year. Ssignificant progress has been made in this area in 2012,
but additional efforts are required to consolidate and build on progress to date. At both national
and sub-national levels, uncertainty remains over the structures and mechanisms for disaster
management. At the national level, some reorganization of Government ministries and
departments is expected following elections.
Emergency preparedness
Humanitarian partners will continue on-going contingency planning at national and sub-national
levels. This includes preparedness for floods, drought, landslides and other hazards. Of
particular importance for the early part of 2013 is the continuation of preparedness efforts for the
pre-election and election period, during which there is a heightened risk of inter-communal
conflicts in many parts of the country. Areas potentially affected include those traditionally
affected by election-related violence, plus a number of other areas where pre-existing tensions
can be exacerbated by political processes, such as the process of devolution and the competition
for election at county and national levels.
To this end, the humanitarian community has been engaged in a preparedness process being led
by the National Disaster Operations Centre. It focuses around four key areas: peace and
reconciliation, humanitarian aid, mass casualty and security. Under the humanitarian component,
the process has included a number of national and sub-national consultations. At the sub-
national level, preparedness is being organized around eight support hubs that aim to capitalize
on field-level analysis and provide a more detailed view of capacities on the ground. The process
is also linked to an inter-agency initiative (including the GoK, the Kenya Red Cross, and NGOs) to
develop the initial rapid assessment tool for Kenya (KIRA). KIRA is being field-tested and sub-
national trainings are underway in the support hubs.
Humanitarian access
The security situation in the Dadaab area and the wider North-Eastern Province moved from low-
risk and stable to high-risk and dangerous following a series of incidents, including the abduction
of aid workers and fatal attacks on refugee leaders and Kenyan security forces. This led to more
restrictive security measures that curtailed humanitarian access to the camps. African Union
military action against Al-Shabaab in Somalia and the capture of Kismayo have raised concern of
increasing extremist activity in the north-east of Kenya. Furthermore, incidents of inter-communal
conflict have also contributed to diminishing access in the region. Due to the regular occurrence
of climatic shocks and cross-border and internal insecurity, communities in the north-east require
significant assistance. Partners remain committed to finding ways to continue providing
assistance in this area despite access challenges. Because of the complex nature of the crisis in
the area, the north/east is expected to remain a priority area for humanitarian response in the
coming year and beyond. Inter-communal violence in other parts of the country, such as Tana
River and Moyale, during 2012, has also led to temporary access restrictions for some actors.
Partners remain committed to identifying solutions to secure access in these areas.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
The Long Rains Assessment of August 2012 revealed that the impact of the drought is still felt. It
estimated that more than 2.1 million people require assistance in Kenya’s ASALs and some 1.3
million in urban areas. More than 450,000 people will need assistance in medium- and high-
rainfall areas.
In addition, some 160,000 people who depend on agriculture and livestock remain at risk in flood-
prone areas around the country. Furthermore, the GoK, the UN and partners are preparing
contingency plans and scenarios in case of violence and unrest leading up to and after the March
2013 elections. An estimated 580,000 vulnerable people could be affected, with serious
disruptions to agriculture, livestock and the food supply.
Overall, partners in the agriculture and livestock sector seek resources to target 1.8 million of the
most vulnerable beneficiaries whose livelihoods are at risk, or some 40 per cent of the most
vulnerable people in need.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The Agriculture and Livestock Sector response plan focuses on restoring and protecting the
livelihoods of affected people. In agropastoral areas, the plan integrates emergency and
development approaches. Under emergency approaches, the sector will meet immediate needs
through seed distribution, livestock treatment, provision of livestock feed, livestock vaccinations
and voucher-for-work activities. The livestock interventions will adhere as closely as possible to
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
48
the well-established Livestock Emergency Guidelines and Standards (LEGS). Regarding
medium- and long-term resilience-building, the sector will continue to develop water-harvesting
structures for humans, livestock and irrigation; soil and water conservation activities; rehabilitation
of small-scale community-based irrigation schemes; community-based seed production;
rangeland management; pasture production; and early warning information collection, analysis
and dissemination.

Top-priority actions, beneficiaries and locations
Agriculture
The poor performance of the 2012 long rains resulted in the second to third successive poor or
failed season in many parts of the south-eastern and coastal marginal agricultural zone.
Households who currently have less disposable income, or who are unable to invest in livelihood
activities, may need support to access quality inputs and enhance their harvest prospects. The
priority actions that may be considered in 2013 are as follows:
Action Locations (Districts)
Provision of certified seed and fertilizers, and promotion of high-value traditional crops
Tana River, Wajir, Ijara, Isiolo, Turkana, Samburu, Marsabit, Moyale, Meru North, Kitui, Mwingi, Makueni, Mbeere, Tharaka
Promotion of water harvesting for irrigation activities and supporting the establishment of green houses
Moyale, Garissa, Ijara, Wajir, Samburu, Kieni, Laikipia, Koibatek, Kitui, Makueni, Mbeere, Tharaka
Activities aimed at soil fertility improvement and soil conservation
Machakos, Mbeere, Baringo
Promotion of appropriate post-harvest management techniques
Meru North, Kieni, Makueni, Kitui, Mwingi, Machakos, Mbeere, Tharaka, Tana River
Livestock
The availability of pasture has been sustained since the end of the 2011 short-rains season in
many pastoral areas. However, livestock trekking distances are increasing. There is also a need
for enhanced disease surveillance, because increased livestock movements and concentrations
near water points predispose them to contagious diseases. In addition, likely enhanced rains
may precipitate outbreaks of vectorborne diseases such as Rift Valley Fever. The following are
the main interventions to harness the advantages of expected above-average 2012 October-
December short rains so as to enhance households’ resilience.
Action Locations (Districts)
Inter-community peace negotiations for improved access to grazing and water.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
In 2013, humanitarian coordination will continue to focus on people affected by recurrent drought
in the ASAL areas, refugee populations and host communities, and other affected people
including those currently and potentially affected by inter-communal conflict, and those who are
highly vulnerable to shocks in urban areas.
In the coming year, specific priority will be given to continued response to people most affected
by drought in the ASAL areas, particularly those affected by additional shocks such as inter-
communal conflict, insecurity and floods. In this regard, North-Eastern Province is of particular
concern due to the profound impact of drought, inter-communal conflict, reduced access due to
extremist violence and poor infrastructure, as well as the long-term and increased presence of
refugees from Somalia. Assistance for refugees and programming in host communities will also
remain a priority.
In relation to preparedness for upcoming elections, 100,000-150,000 people could potentially
require some form of humanitarian aid in the pre-election and election period between January
and April 2013.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The sector response plan aims to support all three strategic objectives. In particular, the first
strategic objective area will be supported by the continued management and reinforcement of
humanitarian preparedness and response activities. The priority emphasis is continued response
to disaster-affected people in the ASALs and refugee populations. In terms of preparedness
activity, particular focus will remain on communities at high risk of inter-communal conflict in the
pre-election and election period and the impacts of recurrent climatic shocks.
In relation to the second priority related to building resilience, coordination will continue to focus
on integrated efforts towards early recovery and disaster risk reduction. This will build primarily
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
54
on existing achievements and mechanisms, such as the Disaster Risk Reduction Platform, the
District/County Steering Group, the Ending Drought Emergencies country programme and the
outcome of the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment. This area will also focus on the continued
provision of technical support for mainstreaming early recovery approaches and for announcing
the National Disaster Management Policy.
The third priority area focuses on the integration of humanitarian response issues in national and
development frameworks. This is of key importance in 2013. Given the stabilization and
improvement in the humanitarian situation in the country over the last year, it is envisaged that in
the absence of a new large-scale disaster, there will be a reduction in consolidated humanitarian
programming towards the end of 2013, with the exception of the refugee response and response
in north-eastern Kenya. Therefore, it is vital that the humanitarian community works with national
and development actors to ensure that key humanitarian response and disaster management
issues are integrated into relevant development policies and frameworks. Key opportunities and
entry points have been identified, including the second phase of the national Mid-Term Plan
under the Government’s Vision 2030, the recent formation of the National Drought Management
Authority, the planning for the new UNDAF, the formation of the counties, the Ending Drought
Emergencies country plan and the drafted National Disaster Management Policy.
Safety and security of humanitarian personnel
Due to the volatile security situation in the North-Eastern Province (NEP), humanitarian
organizations operating in the area will likely continue to face elevated security risks for their
personnel in the foreseeable future. In addition, humanitarian organizations are preparing for a
response to potential election-related violence. To provide the necessary security support for
these operations, UNDSS will require resources to upgrade the Emergency Communications
System. It will also require personnel to be permanently deployed to the NEP and temporary staff
for elections-related security support.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
The number of affected beneficiaries is based on Government-led biannual assessments
conducted by the Kenya Food Security Steering Group after the long- and short-rains seasons.
The assessments determine the vulnerability levels and affected people eligible for food
assistance, after which the Government and WFP agree on a division of labour. The highest
number of people expected to be affected/targeted in 2013 is based on the results of the 2012
long-rains assessment announced in September (covering October 2012 to March 2013). Given
the positive forecast of enhanced rainfall in the 2012 short-rains season, it is expected that the
number of drought-recovery households will reduce substantially.
The above-mentioned 2.1 million (affected) people and 1.98 million (targeted) people does not
include contingency for pre- or post-election violence. In case of violence and displacement on a
scale that requires interventions, humanitarian agencies in the sector will revise their 2013 needs
upwards based on the number of people affected and targeted.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The Food Assistance Sector response plan will contribute to the three strategic objectives.
Firstly, GFDs are expected to provide food to the most affected vulnerable households in the
ASALs during crises and lean periods. GFD will be used where asset-creation activities are not
appropriate or not yet under way, and where links with other safety nets are critical to protecting
livelihoods and addressing malnutrition. GFD will be reduced gradually over time, integrating
emergency responses into early and extended recovery plans and safety nets such as HSNP,
which is providing unconditional cash transfers.
Secondly, under F/CFA, WFP will assist households and communities to improve their livelihood
systems and address some of the DRR issues. Interventions will focus mainly on: i) improving
access to water through water harvesting and management; ii) promoting dry-land agro forestry
and fodder production, particularly where there are pastoralists; and iii) rehabilitating irrigation
systems and degraded lands to enhance food, fodder and tree crops, complementing partners’
efforts to assist agropastoralists and marginal farmers. Whereas WFP-specific projects will be in
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
63
most of the ASAL areas, the three Rome-based agencies will implement joint programmes in
Garissa, Mwingi and Turkana.
The sector will continue supporting the Government to improve early warning surveillance
systems and analysis, and contribute to the production of a monthly food security and nutrition
bulletin. Early warning information will feed into and enhance response mechanisms during
emergencies, along with resilience-building plans that reduce the need for emergency
interventions. Reducing risks at the community level is part of preparedness activities under
C/FFA.

Top-priority actions, beneficiaries, and locations
Preparedness for the upcoming general elections in Kenya is the top priority for early 2013. The
Food Assistance Sector members are working jointly to mobilize food and cash resources
sufficient to support any humanitarian action that will be required in case of large-scale conflict or
violence that may lead to displacement of people in areas considered as hotspots. Preparedness
actions will be guided by early warning information from various stakeholders.
Food assistance to people affected or recovering from drought in ASAL areas will continue, with a
strong emphasis on a gradual shift from relief to recovery/resilience building.
Monitoring and evaluation of food/cash distributions and of projects’ implementations will be
central to the success of the assistance. Evaluations will examine the impacts on household
income and livelihood strategies and will monitor the shift from GFD to FFA, the transition from
food assistance, disaster risk reduction and the benefits for adaptation to climate change resulting
from improved resilience. A Community and Household Surveillance survey will be carried out
three times a year to provide information on food security and the nutrition situation at critical
times of the year.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
The Health Sector partners will be asked to respond to various health emergencies such as
disease outbreaks, the drought effects on health and mass casualty disasters from urban fires in
Nairobi and other slums, election violence, terrorist attacks and other conflicts. The Sector has
often responded promptly, thereby mitigating the impact of these disasters. El Niño-related
flooding is forecast for the latter part of 2012, with direct effects and subsequent vectorborne
disease outbreaks in 2013. The health emergency situation for 2013 appears precarious with
persisting risks of disease outbreaks (measles, cholera, hepatitis E and vaccine-derived polio
outbreaks are ongoing), insecurity and mass casualties.
The health-care delivery system is still weak and overstretched; it will not be able to respond to
any disaster or large-scale disease outbreak without humanitarian support from partners. The
devolution of power to the county levels for the first time in 2013 will also require a lot of technical
and structural support from partners in order to start operations, which may take years to be
established.
Mass displacement is estimated at 400,000 – 450,000 people due to conflict/insecurity, and
20,000 people due to food insecurity. The majority of those expected to be displaced will be
women and children. Apart from the displaced population requiring health services, displacement
will likely exacerbate gender-based violence. An estimated 5 to 10% of women and young girls
among the displaced population could be affected. Conflict/insecurity could also lead to mass
casualties. An estimated 20,000 mass casualties may occur, i.e. 5% of the displaced population.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
67
In addition, 10,000 mass casualties are estimated from other hazards (e.g. fires). About 1 million
children will need vaccination for measles, polio and vitamin A supplementation.
The health risks will likely be most prominent in the 28 already identified potential conflict
hotspots. Conflict and insecurity are also expected to disrupt health services, which will affect all
people living in these areas, not only those displaced. Furthermore, the expected
hazard/disaster conditions in 2013 will likely enhance the risk and transmission of diseases such
as HIV, TB, respiratory tract diseases, acute watery diarrhoea, cholera and all other diseases of
epidemic potential e.g. dengue fever, rift valley fever and malaria. It is estimated that 900,000
displaced and host populations will be affected by service disruption.. The current insecurity in
the northern parts of the country is contributing to reduced access to primary health-care services
for the most vulnerable people, as well as increased logistics costs to ensure the supply of
essential medicines and other medical supplies.
The ongoing measles (see map below), hepatitis E and cholera outbreaks in the refugee camps
and host communities are unlikely to be contained if the current water and sanitation conditions
prevail. At least 10% of the camp population will be at risk of infection, especially pregnant
women, with varying degrees of severity. Kenya is just recovering from the post-drought effects,
hence existing malnutrition levels are expected to improve progressively if there are no new food-
security shocks in 2013. Few districts, especially in the North-Eastern Province, will have
malnutrition rates below the emergency threshold, but nutrition surveillance will be needed.
There are 692 cases of multi-drug resistant tubercolusis registered in the country; more than 50%
of these cases are refugees from neighbouring countries who require immediate humanitarian aid
to avoid spreading the disease among the refugee and host population. There are indications
that the number may reduce if the situation in Somalia improves. However, refugees’ health
needs will persist as the camps are currently experiencing disease outbreaks and the water and
sanitation challenges have not been resolved. These are compounded by cross-border
challenges and easy transmission of diseases across the borders.
Almost 3 million people will require some form of humanitarian support, including 1 million
children and a similar number of women.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The Health Sector will encourage partnerships, collaboration and coordination for synergy and
effectiveness of its actions. Coordination forums will be established at the national and county
level and for the eight humanitarian hubs established. Leads will be identified based on
comparative strength and ability to support Government structures for coordination, rapid health–
and-nutrition assessments, gaps identification and local capacity-building. The implementation of
the Health Sector humanitarian response and local resilience-building activities will clearly identify
cross-cutting issues such as HIV, gender, rights-based programming, protection, psycho-social,
environment, equity, governance and community empowerment.
As the Health Sector lead, WHO will facilitate the key support required from partners including
coordinating humanitarian partners and activities, supporting rapid health-and-nutrition
assessments, facilitating multi-sector and partner planning, standards and guidelines, and
implementing activities and monitoring. Partner analysis and mapping are also critical. WHO will
also support stakeholders at national and county levels for real-time information management and
dissemination, identifying and filling gaps, and local capacity-building. UNFPA, also in
coordination with partners, will complement and scale up existing sexual reproductive health

services among the crisis-affected communities and refugee populations by strengthening the
implementation of minimum initial services package for REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH and
advocating the prioritization of comprehensive reproductive health services as a vital component
of primary health-care services.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
100% of the refugees and asylum seekers in Kenya are targeted. The planning figures for each
of the three main refugee locations are:
Dadaab – 463,788
Kakuma – 145,000
Urban (Nairobi) – 65,000
In total, 49.5% of the population are women, however, in Kakuma women account for 46.2%.
Only 45.5% of the total refugee populations are adults above 18 years, including 3.1% who are
seniors (above 60). On the other hand, children and youth constitute 54.5% of all refugees in
Kenya.
The host communities only include populations residing in the immediate vicinity of the camps
that will be targeted by planned interventions.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The multi-sector response plan will contribute towards the strategic objective 1: The humanitarian
needs of highly vulnerable populations affected by natural and man-made disasters are met
through life-saving assistance and protection as per national and international standards.
The core objectives are to provide protection to refugees and asylum seekers; ensure delivery of
basic services; and support durable solutions. Specifically, under protection, priority will first be to
secure access to asylum and international protection for asylum-seekers; preserve the asylum
space across the Kenyan territory and maintain the civilian character of camps; and secondly, to
facilitate refugee access to basic services; and find durable solutions, including voluntary
repatriation, where feasible, in safety and dignity. To help achieve these ends, UNHCR as the
sector lead, will foster strategic partnerships with key national and international partners, as well
as refugees themselves through their increased participation in the services delivery in the camps
and self-management structures. Livelihoods and self-reliance of refugees will be prioritized
mainly for the urban caseload. Refugees in the camps will also be supported in skills
development, training and viable business venture establishment.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
73
Priority will be given to ensuring that all people of concern in camps or urban centres are
protected in accordance with national law and the relevant international conventions. The
protection of vulnerable groups such as single women headed-households; children, including
those unaccompanied or separated from their families; the elderly; and people with special needs
will feature prominently in protection activities.
Efforts will continue to support the Kenyan Government’s refugee management structures by
working closely with the Department of Refugee Affairs (DRA), the relevant ministries in Nairobi,
and the authorities in the refugee-hosting counties of Garissa and Turkana. The review of the
security partnership between the Government and UNHCR is likely to lead to further improvement
in the security situation in Dadaab and the preservation of law and order in the Dadaab and
Kakuma camps, and to address the national security concerns about the large refugee presence
especially in north-eastern Kenya.
The multi-sector members, especially those working on both sides of the Somalia border will
facilitate voluntary repatriation to Somalia that is informed and, where feasible, undertaken in
safety and with dignity. UNHCR and its partners will organize the collection and dissemination of
objective and balanced information on areas of return. Other durable solutions opportunities,
notably resettlement, will continue to be pursued for refugees whose particular situation warrants
relocation from the country.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
Nutrition surveys carried out in the ASAL areas in 2012 indicate that there has been a significant
reduction in GAM and SAM levels in selected areas (Turkana, Mandera, Moyale and Kajiado) due
to increased access of quality high impact nutrition interventions and the food security
improvements from food and non-food interventions.9 The expected caseload of children (boys
and girls) under five suffering from acute malnutrition in ASAL has declined from 385,000 January
2012 to 300,000 as of October 2012. However, the situation in Wajir County and Mandera East
had not improved due to continuing food insecurity. Mandera and Wajir counties account for
75,644 (25%) of expected caseloads.10
In urban informal settlements about 9,500 children (boys
and girls) will require treatment for acute malnutrition in 2013. The difference in child malnutrition
between the wealthiest and poorest households is twice as great in urban areas (vs. rural),

highlighting the inequities of urbanization and affecting 1.7 million children living in poverty in
urban areas.
Kenya has experienced violence during campaign periods, as well as during and after elections.
As part of the humanitarian pillar contingency planning for the 4 March general election, 150,000
people are estimated to be displaced between September 2012 and April 2013.11
. The Nutrition
Sector plans to respond to 36,000 under-five children (boys and girls) and PLWs displaced in
case of pre- and post-election violence.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives
The Nutrition Sector response plan is in line with the 2012-2017 Kenya Nutrition Action Plan that
serves as a road map for coordinated implementation of nutrition interventions by the
Government and nutrition stakeholders. It has 11 strategic objectives whose goal is to promote
and improve nutrition status of all Kenyans.
The Nutrition Sector response plan will contribute to strategic objective 1 through preventive and
curative actions for under-five children (boys and girls) and women affected, including drought-
affected, urban poor and displaced populations. This will be done through the provision and
access of High Impact Nutrition Interventions in all ASALs and in vulnerable urban contexts.
Building capacity of communities to demand and utilize nutrition services by scaling up behaviour
change, communication strategies and enhancing the participation of men, women, boys and girls
in nutrition surveillance will contribute to strategic objective 2 on enhanced communities
resilience.
Recognizing the changes anticipated with the new devolved government structures and the
phasing to long-term government development, the sector intends to increase county level
commitment and leadership of effective nutrition response through strengthened county
coordination and use of sex and age disaggregated data in the new information systems and
survey guidelines to elaborate other vulnerable groups for evidence based nutrition response and
programming.
Sector objectives and output targets
Strategic objective #1
The humanitarian needs of highly vulnerable populations affected by natural and man-made
disasters are met through life-saving assistance and protection as per national and international

pastoralist common in the context of natural disasters and conflict based conflicts (including
communities clashing over meagre water and other resources)13.
Lastly, the intense campaigns leading up to the March 2013 elections may disrupt seasonal
farming activities such as land preparation. They could also disrupt the distribution of main
staples from the surplus-producing to the deficit/consumption markets, hence affecting food
security.
Sustainable resettlement, return and durable solutions
The implementation of the government’s land resettlement programme for 2007/08 PEV IDPs
intensified during the first half of 2012 with the government instituting an inter-ministerial taskforce
dedicated to identification and purchase of resettlement land. An alternative land purchase
procedure was also launched by the government to fast-track the resettlement programme.14
As
a result of the accelerated resettlement programme a total of 4,905 PEV IDP households have
been resettled from the initial 6,978.15
Consequently, a substantial number of the 21 officially-

The report, “Out of wedlock, into school: combating child marriage through education,” by the UN’s Special Envoy for Global Education, Mr. Gordon Brown cites Kenya as a country where child marriages sometimes increase during periods of crisis, a phenomenon referred to as “drought brides”. 14
Publicized and appeared in the Daily Nation and the Standard of Thursday 17th February 2012.It is spearheaded by the local provincial administration in the targeted areas. 15
A large-scale resettlement exercise was undertaken at Wiyumiririe farm in Laikipia East where a total of 1,600 IDPs households (translating to an estimated 5,000 individuals) were resettled by the government between March and April 2012. Widespread threats for displaced people include the risk of prolonged displacement and lack of alternatives for return, reintegration and/or resettlement for vulnerable people due to loss of assets and resolution of the cause of their displacement. A prominent fear of displaced people is to not be able to return to their places of origin or get assistance to rebuild their lives. There is an urgent need to identify areas where return is possible in the short or medium term, as well as resettlement options with sustainable solutions for groups of displaced who cannot return to their former homes or livelihoods.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013

established IDP camps have been closed with only a few transit camps remaining.16
Humanitarian aid by the government for IDP returnees has been generally constrained with little
support for the long-term needs of the formerly displaced people.17
Land based solutions and
restitution need to be explored.
Considerable challenges remain in the promotion of healing and reconciliation in areas that
registered significant violence during the 2007/08 post-election violence. The NCIC in
collaboration with other stakeholders continue to implement peace-building activities and
programmes. Peace and Reconciliation Committees have been established in post-election
areas. The government has deployed Special District Officers trained in peace and conflict
resolution to post-election violence areas. Healing and reconciliation have witnessed increased
involvement of local and national politicians. However, formerly displaced people and IDPs
continue receiving threats of further eviction every time there are political conflicts at the national
level.
An apparent threat to IDPs includes the risk of prolonged displacement and lack of alternatives
for return, reintegration and/or resettlement for vulnerable people due to loss of assets and
resolution of the cause of their displacement. A prominent fear of displaced people is to not be
able to return to their places of origin or get assistance to rebuild their lives.18
There is an urgent
need to identify areas where return is possible in the short- or medium-term, as well as
resettlement options with sustainable solutions for groups of displaced people who cannot return
to their former homes or livelihoods.
There is also an urgent need for provision of objective, reliable and accessible information
targeting the affected populations, including illiterate people, at all levels for the population to
better understand the on-going relief, assistance and durable solutions programmes. Further,
addressing inter-communal tension and violence, as well as land and property related disputes
are critical in facilitating durable solutions. Reintegration and/or resettlement are a key need
across all affected provinces. There is continued need for access to legal redress mechanisms
and legal assistance encompassing restitution measures to aid document recovery and durable
solutions. Psycho-social counselling for PEV IDPs has also been identified as a gap, especially
amongst girls and boys where the need is deemed acute.19
In the lead up to the general elections, the public and media attention on IDPs has increased with
political leaders using the IDP problem as a political resource. The political elite are using the
IDPs to bargain their various political positions, including forming political alliances. At the same
time, there are concerns that the concept of IDP is used increasingly in reference to members of
one ethnic community, yet other communities suffered displacement and deaths during the crisis
as well. This has and continues to undermine efforts to promote healing and reconciliation, and
national cohesion in general.
16
In spite of these efforts, over 2,000 Kenyan refugees are still in Uganda awaiting the negotiation of a tripartite agreement between UNHCR and the governments of Kenya and Uganda. A sticking point in the on-going negotiations is the proposal by UNHCR for the introduction of a restitution clause. 17
This has been documented in KNCHR’s comprehensive and systematic monitoring of the situation of PEV IDPs and contained in KNCHR’s 2011 report titled ‘Homeless at Home.” 18
This has been documented in KNCHR’s comprehensive and systematic monitoring of the situation of PEV IDPs IDPs and contained in KNCHR’s 2011 report titled ‘Homeless at Home.” 19
According to the Ministry of Special Programs, most counselling has so far only targeted adult women and men and excluded young boys and girls. A key component in an EHRP project proposal submitted by DRC is to provide psycho-social counselling to PEV IDPs in the Rift Valley.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
86
Sustained monitoring and strategic engagement of relevant stakeholders by the members of the
Protection Sector is important to ensure that the government fully and effectively implements
Agenda Item 2 on reforms.20
Child protection
The child protection system in Kenya is still in the nascent stages of development. National
priority areas for intervention during times of emergency continue to be identified thematically,
such as reunification of separated children, prevention and response to sexual violence, and
provision of psycho-social support in the form of child-friendly spaces.
Children affected by post-election violence continue to suffer psycho-social distress. They
struggle to find alternatives to harmful coping mechanisms adopted during displacement, such as
sex work. While many children affected may have returned home to their families under the
umbrella of the Department of Children Services’ Reunification of Separated Children Program
over the course of 2008 – 2009, there has been a proliferation of street children in urban areas of
the Rift Valley. During a profiling of over 2,400 street children conducted in 5 locations in 2011,
37% of children reported that they were displaced as a result of PEV. The study highlights the
long-term impact of emergencies, with a significant number of those displaced by PEV only
joining the streets in 2011 (22%). Almost half of the children interviewed had been affected in
some way by an emergency (PEV, tribal clashes, drought or flooding). Food insecurity was by far
the most significant push factor, with 59% of children reporting hunger as one of the reasons for
coming to the streets. This assessment is supported by NGOs working in areas such as Eldoret
and Nakuru, who report that the number of school drop-outs and children who are sent to beg or
work on the street, due to lack of livelihood options among IDP families, has increased
significantly.21
With the gradual onset of drought in Wajir, Marsabit, Isiolo, northern Garissa, northern Tana
River, and Mandera areas, the already vulnerable situation of many pastoralist and impoverished
children has been exacerbated. There is evidence that children are being separated from their
families and either left behind while parents seek work, food or security. In the alternative, some
children have been placed in boarding schools or charitable children’s institutions. In some
instances, children (primarily adolescent boys) separate from their families and migrate to urban
areas, thus becoming part of a burgeoning street children population.22
Children living on the
streets and separated children are more at risk of dropping out of school and being exposed to
exploitative work situations, sexual violence and abuse. Other child protection concerns caused
by the drought, highlighted in agency reports and targeted assessments, include children
engaged in labour, children dropping out of school, instances of early marriage (sometimes
20
Addressing humanitarian crises as provided by the Kenya National Dialogue and Reconciliation Framework in the context of the National Accord and Reconciliation Act, 2008. 21
A baseline study on children connected to the streets was carried out by Save the Children in 2011, organized under the auspices of the National Protection Working Group on Internal Displacement (PWGID) in collaboration with field-based groups and local government in five urban locations in the Rift Valley. The study profiled over 2,400 children connected to the streets, and highlighted strong links between emergencies in the region and children joining the streets. The study emphasizes the need for long-term planning in the provision of humanitarian responses, as well as the need for a multi-sectoral strategy which addresses the root causes rather than the symptoms of the issues which lead children to connect with the streets 22
For instance the DCO in Eldoret reports an increase in 800-1000 street children, with at least a third coming from Turkana and Kitale citing poverty and lack of food as the reason for being on streets. Lodwar has seen an increase of children living on the streets with projection that estimated number of 300 will increase in the coming period. In Kitale there is according to local NGO working with street children around 1,400 children and every week, the number increases with four children.

condoned by the parents), children, especially girls, engaging in commercial sex and a rise in
instances of GBV.23,
Gender-based violence (GBV)
While the prevalence of gender-based violence is believed to remain high, it is difficult to provide
accurate statistics due to the lack of a GBV Information Management System (GBVIMS) to collect
and analyse data for evidence and for programming. Accordingly, there is a need to introduce
GBVIMS in health facilities within communities. All four key sectors (medical, psycho-social,
security and legal) need to work more closely to respond comprehensively to GBV cases and to
conduct awareness raising activities on GBV within the communities, with a view to enhancing
prevention and response. It is also critical that the Protection Sector adopt a multi-sectoral
approach to prevention of GBV, for example by working with other sectors to ensure that the
location of water, sanitation and shelter facilities does not increase vulnerability to GBV.
The risk of human trafficking and/or smuggling for exploitative labour, prostitution, etc., increases
in displacement situations due to the effect of obstructed livelihood options.24
Attention also needs to be focused on the increased risk of HIV during humanitarian crises,
particularly when there are high levels of GBV. Related concerns include the direct link between
food insecurity and the ability to take ARVs, and the fact that although PEP commodities are
available, there is a limited ability to deliver these services. The response to individual HIV cases
also needs to be linked in with a continuum of HIV-related services, including a combination of
prevention services: i.e., bio-medical, behavioural and structural.
Legal framework and coordination
During the course of 2012, there have been significant developments in the legal and policy
framework in the protection and assistance of IDPs in Kenya. On 4 October, the 2012 IDP Bill,
successfully underwent its 3rd
Reading in Parliament and is awaiting presidential assent prior to
its enactment.25
On policy formulation, the draft National Policy on the Prevention of Internal Displacement and
the Protection and Assistance to Internally Displaced Persons in Kenya (draft IDP Policy) is under
revision by MoSSP following consultation with the Ministry of Lands. Subsequently, the draft
policy shall be re-worked into a Sessional Paper for adoption by the Cabinet.
23
In urban centres of Turkana district notable increase of children engaged in begging, hawking, getting employed by adults, including in the fishing industry, are being reported. 24
Rapid assessments and protection monitoring conducted in 2011 among pastoralist dropouts and IDPs in Kakuma and Garissa and post-election violence area demonstrate a high prevalence of female-headed families/households through family separation or death; increased rural-urban migration in search of employment opportunities, mainly by the bread winners; and a high rate of female school dropouts. A counter trafficking campaign evaluation report (June 2010) indicates that a lack of information of the risks of human trafficking and weakened community coping mechanisms are major contributing factors that need to be addressed. Furthermore, the affected communities have undergone events that may have provoked distress and weakened their emotional well-being. With the current drought crisis that is predicted to escalate in 2012, more pastoralist communities especially women, girls and boys continue to migrate from rural areas to urban centres with no relevant skills to get a means of employment they remain vulnerable. The coastal region of Kenya and Nairobi are key destinations for internal trafficking. Victims are trafficked for domestic servitude, forced prostitution, street begging and labour exploitation. Many of the cases identified in the coastal region and Nairobi are from areas that are prone to natural disasters and man-made crisis. Women and girls are lured from these areas with promises of better opportunities made to them or to their parents. Under-aged marriage, common among some communities in Kenya, also enhances vulnerability to trafficking of girls. The need to promote community coping mechanisms and reduce vulnerabilities to trafficking is fundamental. 25
Developed by the Parliamentary Select Committee on Resettlement of IDPs in consultation with the National PWGID (advocacy sub-group).
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
88
Intensified advocacy for the signature and ratification of the Kampala Convention is critical.26
The
PWG advocacy sub-group also needs to re-focus its advocacy work on other related legislations
such as the Evictions and Resettlement Procedures Bill and the National Drought Management
Authority Bill, 2012.
Coordination remains a priority and warrants enhancement. At the national level, continued
support will need to be rendered to the Protection Working Group on Internal Displacement
(PWGID), with a view to having effective full ownership of the forum by the Government of Kenya
(i.e. the Kenyan National Commission on Human Rights and the Ministry of Justice, National
Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs). Support will continue to be provided to the two field-based
PWGIDs (in Nakuru and Eldoret) and the newly launched Kitale PWG and to further
mainstreaming of the child protection and GBV in their work. The PWGIDs have proven to be
useful coordination and information sharing fora for government actors, community-based
organizations, INGOs and members of the UN family. As part of the preparedness and
contingency planning process ahead of the 2013 elections, the Protection Sector will constitute
the Humanitarian Pillar under the leadership of UNOCHA and NDOC/KRCS and shall explore the
existing mechanism of the PWG in c multi-sector coordination and assessments activities. There
is a consensus on the need for the continued capacity building in the areas of monitoring,
programming and protection/assistance delivery through adoption of the rights-based approach.
The project proposals are all in line with the overall protection sector objectives and seek to
address the described protection needs and concerns (e.g. child protection, GBV, durable
solutions, trafficking, coordination and protection monitoring).

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
The Shelter/NFIs Response Plan is based on the forecasted El Nino event and the upcoming
general elections planned for March 2013 while taking into account other causes of displacement.
As such, the number for shelter vulnerable populations is estimated from the records of the 2007
post-election violence impact and the relevant response experience, while the number for the
projected El Nino is estimated from the response to the impact of the 2009 El Nino. Shelters,
alongside security, are the most important factors in stabilizing population flows and providing
IDPs and humanitarian stakeholders with the capacity to find and implement durable solutions.
Thus this sector will strive to incorporate other sectors to minimize human suffering resulting from
displacements, loss of shelter, and other household belongings. Furthermore, this will involve
preparedness strategy to increase the stocks of emergency shelter kits and standardizing the
NFIs to an estimated 15,000 families and 6,500 households predicted to be displaced by the El
Nino and political and ethnic clashes respectively.
How the sector response plan will contribute to the strategic objectives (refer to annex
attached)
The optimum coordination and the collaboration among the sector actors, including stakeholders
and donors, will secure the effective contribution to achieve the strategic objectives. The
response plan will be built on available capacities in conjunction with the most likely scenario and
arrangements to fill possible gaps between these two. Needs assessments will be conducted
and the response plan will be regularly monitored and updated. Needs assessments will consider
the comparison of the present response mechanism and the mechanisms used during previous
contingency responses. The needs will also be conducted on previous experiences in Kenya and
standards applied in humanitarian emergencies. This will help the enhancement of the capacities
both for the government and partners teams.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013

Strategic objective #1
The humanitarian needs of highly vulnerable populations affected by natural and man-made
disasters are met through life-saving assistance and protection as per national and international
standards.
i) Response Strategy
The phases of response will be set in three stages;
1-3 months (immediate onset after a disaster) - distribution of NFIs and plastic sheeting
for shelter.
3-6 months, (uncertainty of displaced people returning to their homes) - distribution of
tents and provision of transitional shelter.
6 months and beyond (no indication of the displaced people returning home) provision of
transitional shelter.
In accordance to the strategic objectives set for 2013, NFI kits and shelter materials shall be
prepositioned in preparation for emergencies in order to meet the life-saving criteria.
ii) Assessments
Appropriate assessments shall be conducted before, during and after the El Nino and the general
elections, to provide necessary data for response needs and aim to integrate early warning-early
response mechanisms. Baseline surveys and risk assessments shall be conducted before the
emergencies; rapid needs household assessments during the emergency; and impact
assessment, post-disaster needs assessment and post-conflict needs assessment after the
emergencies.
iii) Pre-positioning
Part of the challenges faced in previous emergencies has been the lack of adequate response
items to respond to disasters beforehand. Therefore, the sector will aim to pre-position shelter
and NFI kits in the identified 7/8 field hubs across the country. The items pre-positioned will
depend on the estimated figure based on the contingency plan, and actual number of people in
need of humanitarian aid. Existing stocks shall be established after a mapping exercise of the
partners, as well as storage capacities, parameters and location for storage of the pre-positioned
items. In addition, the kits will be pre-positioned in accordance to the agreed standards, as well
as service agreements to standardize costs for the kits. A transition strategy will also be
developed such that the NFIs pre-positioned do not exceed the appropriate response timeframe.
iv) Beneficiary selection
According to the contingency plan, it is estimated that between 400,000- 450,000 people will be
affected. However, not all will be in need of humanitarian aid. Thus, appropriate beneficiary
selection is crucial, in order to target the right beneficiaries during response. Proper tools and
systems shall be put in place for profiling of beneficiaries in actual need of assistance. The sector
shall also participate in joint assessments and needs quantification.

Strategic objective #2
Communities have enhanced resilience, reducing the impact of disasters, and lessened chronic
vulnerability by means of DRR and early recovery approaches.
i) Community Participation
Engagement of the community throughout the process is key to ensuring sustainability and
durable actions, and subsequently contributing to building resilience and coping mechanisms of
the communities. The aspect of community engagement will be incorporated during project
design, beneficiary selection and project implementation.
ii) Encourage cash-learning concepts
In some cases, disasters might occur simultaneously in the same regions, and affect the same
beneficiaries. The assistance hence provided in this case in terms of NFIs could be given to
beneficiaries already in receipt of assistance. To avoid two-fold assistance, cash-learning
concepts will be encouraged through cash vouchers to promote cash-for-work initiatives. Rental
grants will also be provided as an alternative to transitional shelter or other more permanent
shelter solutions.
iii) Linkage with public private partnerships.
iv) Integration with existing plans.
Several policies and bills have been passed given lessons learned from previous disasters, which
aim to address long-term solutions. The shelter sector strategy shall borrow from the IDP bill and
policy, national contingency plan and the field hubs.
Strategic objective #3
Increased commitment on the part of the GoK and development actors to address issues of
chronic vulnerability and provide durable solutions.
The optimum coordination and the collaboration among the sector actors, including stakeholders
and donors, will secure the effective contribution to achieve the strategic objectives. The
response plan will continue building on available capacities in conjunction with the most likely
scenario and arrangements to fill possible gaps between these two. This will help the
enhancement of the capacities both for the government and partners teams.
Cross-cutting issues:
i) Environmental sensitivity
The proposed shelter plans should aim to offer a habitable and secure living space, as well as a
healthy living environment with privacy and dignity. It is important to bear in mind that transitional
shelter is a short-term intervention with a long-term impact on the recovery process that
anticipates environmental protection and/or restoration. This means that emphasis will also be
placed on the requirement that the constructed shelters offer preferable options i.e., upgradeable,
reusable, resalable or recyclable.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
96
ii) Coordination
Coordination is paramount in ensuring coherent responses across various stakeholders. In this
regard, this shall be observed through the setting up of action plans and information sharing with
both sector partners and external partners on a regular basis. Displacement tracking systems will
also be established based on lessons learned from the previous crises and most recent
Information Management developments, as well as identification of partners and establishment of
collaborative links in preparedness for displacement; engagement in inclusive coordination
mechanisms; and identification of pre-positioned items according to agreed standards across the
spectrum of potential responders in the shelter sector.
iii) Linkage with other sectors
Shelter and NFI needs cut across other sectors, i.e. camp set up and distribution of tents in
linkage with CCCM sector; shelter set up, in consideration of GBV issues - protection sector;
shelter for refugee host communities - multi- sector for refugees; sanitation of shelter set ups-
WASH sector; etc.
iv) Capacity building
Continuous capacity building shall be engaged across all levels: capacity building of local
communities through engagement in implementation; capacity building of local administration,
policymakers and actors through trainings and workshops.
v) Resource management and advocacy
Pre-positioning can only be made possible with available resources and adequate funding.
Discussions are already in place with donors, and engagement with the media will also play a key
role.

Explanation of number of beneficiaries targeted
The target beneficiaries for the WASH sector includes: populations living in drought-prone areas,
flood-affected areas and conflict-prone areas. Many of these areas are also prone to outbreaks
of WASH-related disease such as malaria, cholera, typhoid and other diarrheal diseases -
particularly during the rainy season. School children were also considered in the target
beneficiaries as well as patients in health facilities, as access to WASH facilities will ensure that
they have the means to protect themselves from WASH-related diseases.

Top-priority actions, beneficiaries, and locations
Actions:
Provide operational and structural capacity support to WASH sector coordination
mechanism (WESCOORD) at national and sub-national levels in line with the planned
devolved government structures. This will also require that linkages are strengthened
between the two government WASH ministries (MoPHS and MoWI) and UNICEF; as well
as those between development and humanitarian WASH actors in order to improve
coordination of WASH interventions.
The WASH sector will also prioritize disaster preparedness in order to build community
resilience and reinforce the coping capacities of local communities to ensure timely and
appropriate response to a disaster. This will include capacity building of key WASH
coordination staff at district/county levels in contingency planning.
The sector will continue to promote the use of local technology/solutions in WASH
infrastructures, e.g. rain water harvesting and storage tanks, latrine designs and
household water filters. Enhanced rainfall expected during the short rain season will lead
to increased water levels for both surface and ground water supply sources, and will be
an opportunity to promote the use of simple local technologies for rain water harvesting
and storage.
The sector will also support the involvement of beneficiaries (including men, women,
children and vulnerable groups) in planning and implementation of WASH projects. This
will involve the use of participatory approaches in hygiene and sanitation promotion,
and phased-out community consultations for water projects to increase community
ownership. To ensure sustainability of water sources, the sector will also promote
establishment of community management structures to maintain WASH facilities.
WASH partners will give priority to provision of water for human consumption. However,
consideration will be given for competing demands for domestic water supply, especially
from livestock and agriculture.
Beneficiaries:
The WASH Sector will target 2.25 million beneficiaries in 2013, including: people affected by
floods and WASH-related diseases, internally displaced people and those affected by conflict,
and people living in areas affected by drought.

Roles, responsibilities and linkages
Humanitarian partners will continue to support the preparedness and response efforts of the
Government of Kenya through the established coordination mechanisms as illustrated below. In
2013 the UN RC/HC will continue to lead the response of the international partners with the
support of the KHPT in line with the leadership of the Government of Kenya through the Ministry
of State for Special Programmes, the Crisis Response Centre, the National Disaster Operations
Centre, the National Drought Management Authority and the sector working groups (as illustrated
below). At a sub-national level, coordination will continue to be undertaken through Government
led fora including the District Steering Groups (DSGs) and the District Disaster Management
Committees (DDMCs).28
KENYA COORDINATION STRUCTURE
For the purposes of contingency planning in the run-up to forthcoming elections, eight support
hubs have been identified to provide field level support to preparedness activities in areas at risk
of inter-communal violence. The intention is to provide support to sub-national coordination

structures to harmonise analysis, to identify response capacities and to address gaps. The
location and coverage of the hubs are shown in the map below.
Cross-cutting issues
Over the past eighteen months, the Inter-Sector Working Group has prioritized the improved
integration of cross-cutting issues (specifically concerns related to age, gender, disability, GBV,
PSEA, HIV/AIDS and early recovery) in humanitarian response and preparedness activities. As
such, a group of focal points from organisations with issue specific expertise have formed a sub-
group of the ISWG to provide technical support for preparedness and response planning and
capacity-building to sectors in the form of guidance and expertise. The group has particularly
focused on areas of complementarity in order to provide, where possible, coordinated
engagement with sectors and partners.
Early recovery as a cross-cutting issue
Early recovery is a multidimensional process of recovery which applies development principles to
humanitarian settings. It aims at stabilizing a humanitarian situation by identifying opportunities
for longer-term recovery and development, and by supporting, sustaining and rebuilding local and
national capacities to prevent further deterioration. Recovery planning and development
programming are initiated as early as possible during humanitarian operations, minimizing the
gap between the end of relief and the start of longer-term recovery.
While early recovery was established as a stand-alone, vertical structure, recently it has been
recognized as a cross-cutting issue. It has been noted that early recovery is an approach to
humanitarian action that should be integrated into the work of all humanitarian actors to ensure
the dividends of humanitarian response are sustainable and to mitigate the potential impact of
future crises. Early recovery is a responsibility of all, and should be integrated into the activities
of all sectors. It should not be considered as a single, separate sector simply focusing on early
recovery projects.
Early recovery strategies
As early recovery was primarily handled as a separate sector, the sector working group initially
had more than 40 members. However, with early recovery now considered as a cross-cutting
issue, there has been a need to restructure the sector working group and form an ‘early recovery
focal points network’ for advocacy, managing certain early recovery projects and monitoring on
how early recovery is being integrated in different sectors and their projects. As other cross-
cutting issues such as gender, HIV/AIDS, do not have a separate working group and since
several of the previous sector working group members were also members of other sectors, it
was pointed out that there was little need for early recovery to keep a sector working group when
it should address all sectors. Yet, because early recovery continues to have specific projects
under it, abolishing the entire network would not be the most appropriate action to take.
The Early Recovery sector had already been working closely with the other cross-cutting issues,
and will focus more on developing more materials when engaging with other sectors to ensure
that all projects include early recovery components. Following the Gender example, efforts will
be made towards developing a brief and accessible guidance note for early recovery.
Using early recovery best practices, advocacy for and raising awareness on early recovery as a
cross-cutting issue will be strengthened.
KENYA EMERGENCY HUMANTARIAN RESPONSE PLAN 2013
107
In 2012, focal points in several issues areas have supported a number of national and sub
national sector trainings; have participated in assessment and information gathering missions;
and have provided expertise for contingency planning and the EHRP process. In addition the
focal points have provided guidance on the Kenya Initial Rapid Assessment (KIRA) process
contributing to tool development and training of partners.
In 2013, the focal points will continue to engage in inter-agency processes and with specific
partners towards further improving the integration of cross-cutting concerns. This will be
important across the three strategic priorities of the EHRP.
Early recovery priority issues for 2013
Continue to raise awareness amongst all humanitarian and development actors on early
recovery as a process/cross-cutting issue.
Maintain the Early Recovery focal points network and ensure that early recovery is
integrated into different sectors’ projects.
Collect relevant information and data regarding early recovery and accumulate knowledge
and best practices in Kenya.
Strengthen the links between the humanitarian sectors and development actors.
Reduce the impact of emergencies and build resilience of communities to resist the worst
impacts of emergency situations, with particular focus on the 2013 elections and drought
related crises.
Act as a champion with OCHA of cross-cutting issues to ensure that all cross-cutting
issues remain on the humanitarian agenda, are integrated into humanitarian plans and
response, and can (somehow) be measured.
