Consultancy Assignment To Conduct Ward Climate Change And Vulnerability Assessment And Development Of Ward Level Climate Change Action Plans Tendering at Practical Action

Pastoral and agro-pastoral production forms the dominant livelihood in Turkana County, involving about 80 percent of its population. Major sources of income within this livelihood include sales of livestock, livestock products, fish and crop production which account for over 80 percent of all county income. Climate change is happening now and is projected to worsen in the future. Turkana County is extremely susceptible to impacts of climate change because most livelihoods and economic activities are reliant on climate sensitive sectors. The most vulnerable sectors impacted on by climate change in the county are agriculture, livestock, pastoralism, forestry, water resources, health, energy, rangelands, tourism, social infrastructure and human settlement and the physical infrastructure. In order to cushion key sectors against the impact of climate change, the County needs to undertake Wards and County Climate change vulnerability assessment to provide valuable information that will be used to develop management actions in response to climate change.
