I-CREATE was a multi-county intervention straddling five ASAL counties of Marsabit, Baringo, Turkana, West Pokot and Samburu. These are clustered as the four of the USAID/OFDA sectors and eight sub sectors with each of the five target Counties covered by at least five of these sub-sectors depending on their context specific needs. The intervention was delivered through close collaboration and partnership with County government structures and processes to foster sustainability beyond the project period.
Strategic partnership was enabled through joint annual work plan development with the relevant County government departments of health, agriculture, livestock, water and Disaster Risk Management (DRM). The project also contributed to a solid partnership with the implementing partners and the lead for the region ACTED. Communities on the other hand were engaged through their local level structures for Disaster Risk Reduction, community health strategy and producer groups to deliver local level interventions.
