In January 2009, the Government of Kenya (GoK) declared the county’s food crisis as a National Disaster. According to government statistics it was estimated that 9.5 million people were at risk of starvation, with 4.1 million of these living in urban informal settlements.
As part of a larger programme to respond to issues of urban governance, sustainable livelihoods, and promotion of coordinated humanitarian response in Nairobi, Oxfam GB, in collaboration with Concern GB developed a joint proposal to address the urban crisis.
