Abstract
This working paper looks at the Enhancing Sustainable Water Access in
Arid and Semi-Arid Lands in Kenya (EWASSA) project project funded by
Grundfos Foundation and run by Practical Action in Turkana since 2019
to explore how an integrated approach to locally led adaptation (LLA)
can effectively address the interconnected environmental, social, and
economic challenges faced by communities in the region. The purpose of
this paper is to evaluate the project’s achievements thus far, examine the
project’s approach to LLA, and place the project within the larger context
of adaptation and adaptation finance in Kenya. Ultimately, the paper
intends to understand the extent to which the project has facilitated the
participation of communities in key decision-making processes to build
their capacity to adapt to climate change impacts.
