PLAN INTERNATIONAL KENYA Plan International Kenya (PIK), operational since 1982, focuses on long-term development and humanitarian programs. Collaborating closely with local communities and governments, PIK implements programs to enhance the well-being of children in areas such as Nairobi, Machakos, Kajiado, Tharaka-Nithi, Siaya, Kwale, Kilifi, Homa Bay, Kisumu, Tana River, Turkana, and Marsabit. ABOUT PLAN KENYA PROJECTS IN TURKANA Plan International Kenya is implementing two projects in Turkana County, Kenya; Turkana West Sub-County specifically, as it hosts the Kakuma refugee camp and Kalobeyei Settlement, as well as Lopur Ward. The program is under the Integrated Refugee Response Program (IRRP) which is a multi-stakeholder initiative designed to address the needs of refugees and host communities in a coordinated and sustainable manner. The IRRP in Kenya focuses on a multi-sectoral approach combining humanitarian aid with long-term development for both refugees and host communities. Climate Proofing WASH services This is a 3-year project that is being implemented in Turkana County, Kenya. Turkana West Sub-County was identified the main implementation area as it hosts the Kakuma refugee camp and Kalobeyei Settlement, with implementation in other Turkana sub-counties based on further assessments and alignment with other initiatives. The Climate Proofing WASH services (CPW) is a consortium-led led project; members combine their expertise to ensure that refugees and host communities in Turkana County enhance their resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related challenges through improved economic self-reliance and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services. Interrelated barriers for achieving economic self-reliance and access to sustainable WASH are addressed through a three-pronged approach whereby 1. local markets related to water, sanitation and hygiene are assessed and piloted if proven high potential to create access to job opportunities, including green jobs 2) socially, environmentally, and financially sustainable WASH services contribute to healthy lives and communities, and 3) policies and legal frameworks are enabling and inclusive for sustainable water governance. Nurturing Futures is a new 3-year project that is being implemented in Turkana County, specifically in Kakuma refugee camp and Kalobeyei Settlement as well as Lopur Ward by Plan International Kenya, working in partnership with the Agency for Cross Border Pastoralist Development (APaD). The project's goal is to ensure that crisis-affected girls and boys in refugee- and host populations have access to food and nutrition and receive gender-sensitive nurturing care. The project combines parenting interventions with food security and nutrition interventions that can positively impact and save lives in Kakuma refugee camp in Turkana, Kenya. The project is designed against three Outcome areas namely: a) improved access to food and nutrition for children and the most vulnerable; b) Improved nurturing care practices for children and enhanced parental psychological well-being, and c) Improved service provision for early learning. Outcome 1 entails the provision of cash, knowledge, and means sharing for the production and preparation of nutritious food, as well as strengthened referral mechanisms. Outcome 2 entails the setting up of a parenting programme that aims to empower parents and caregivers to provide nurturing care that supports their children's healthy and holistic development and wellbeing and supports solidarity networks between crisis-affected parents. Finally, under Outcome 3, the project will work with teachers to improve their knowledge and skills for early learning specifically emotional learning as well as reconstruct ECD centres. Plan International Kenya applies a gender transformative approach in the implementation of both projects address the gender-related barriers and root causes and drivers of existing inequalities in this context, for sustainable and rewarding change. Locally led development is emphasised, enabling local communities, organisations, and county government to lead, while promoting green jobs and green transition. The target group includes young women and men and their families. Key stakeholders and actors are refugees and host communities, the County Government of Turkana, relevant agencies of the national government, UNHCR and other relevant UN agencies, local and international civil society, and a broad spectrum of private sector actors and financial institutions operational in Turkana County.
