We work with communities to enhance their food and nutrition security and resilience and adaptation to climate change through various multi-pronged approaches including food security and economic development, water for multiple uses, disaster risk reduction, community based climate change adaptation and agricultural value chains making the markets work for the poor.
Food and Nutrition Security
Strengthening Food Systems and Nutrition Outcomes.
CARE Kenya intends to support at least 5.5million in Kenya (at least 55% of them women), to produce more healthy food, have better access to water and sanitation, and improved nutrition.
About CARE’s Food and Nutrition Security Work
CARE’s goal will be achieved by building the agency of food and water insecure women and girls, changing inequitable power relations, and supporting the transformation of structures that sustain inequality and discrimination. CARE’s work in food and water systems is based on integrated 8-pathways of change, that adheres to the principles of sustainability, productivity, equity, and resilience which aim to address the needs of today’s world, and future generations.
