ACT Appeal
Kenya - AFKE42
Drought & Famine Assistance
Geneva, 24 August, 2004
Appeal Target: US$1,129,084
Kenya is suffering a massive crop failure due to irregular rainfall patterns and contamination of grain reserves by afllatoxin, a toxin created by grain mould. This has prompted the Government of Kenya to declare a state of emergency. According to the UN reports, the food production in five out of seven country’s provinces will account for only about 40% of food requirements in 2004.
In response to this massive food deficit, ACT members Lutheran World Federation/Department of World Service (LWF/DWS), Norwegian Church Aid (NCA), Church World Service (CWS) and the Anglican Church of Kenya (ACK) together with their implementing partners National Council Churches of Kenya, Kenya Evangelical Lutheran Church, Evangelical Lutheran Church of Kenya, Catholic Diocese of Lodwar and Rural Community Integrated Development Agency have jointly submitted this appeal to enable them to effectively respond to some of the urgent food needs of vulnerable communities in their respective areas of responsibility. The appeal is comprising a number of project components designed to help the local population combat the consequences of the drought. Some of them are listed below:
- Food for work’ assistance
- Food distribution
- ‘Food for Assets’
- emergency water supply
- capacity building
Project Completion Date:
LWF: August 2004 – August 2005 (12 months)NCA: September 2004 – February 2005 (6 months)CWS: September 2004 – February 2005 (6 months)Anglican Church of Kenya: September – November 2004 (3 months)
