About Kenya:
Kenya is a country with a predominantly rural and very young population. About 80% of the land area is arid and semi-arid, mainly in the northern and eastern regions. Areas with a good agricultural potential represent only about 18% of the territory but support 80% of the population. Agriculture, mainly rain-fed, is the main sector of the Kenyan economy. The country is recurrently affected by drought, floods and environmental degradation due to over-exploitation of natural resources
Vita is now registered in Kenya (2009) and plans are underway to develop our Kenyan programmes.
In 2010 Vita will establish a sustainable livelihoods development programme in Kenya as well as using Kenya as a regional coordination and lesson learning hub for the Eritrean and Ethiopian programmes.
Details of previously implemented projects in Kenya are outlined below:
