The Marsabit County Cooperation Programme has been formalized between WFP Kenya and Marsabit County Government. The programme outlines means of improving the county’s emergency preparedness and response in terms of institutional and operational capacity by addressing current gaps identified in the county’s emergency response programme. WFP provided logistical support to Marsabit County Government in response to the El Niño alert of late 2015 by seconding a logistics associate to the county. The associate assisted in developing a logistics capacity assessment report for emergency response and in coordinating an El Niño situation room and mapping other partners for emergency response.
