The overall objective of the Pathways to Resilience in Semi-arid Economies (PRISE) project is to identify research opportunities for the generation of new knowledge that will inform and influence policy and development actors responsible for mainstreaming a climate change-resilient economic development approach in Kenya’s arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). This desk review specifically seeks to contribute towards the identification of research gaps that will inform policy formulation and the development agenda that will mitigate negative climate change impacts for improved livelihoods/welfare of ASAL communities. It also identifies opportunities for leveraging existing initiatives and networks of development actors working towards building a climate-resilient development approach in ASALs.
