May 16 2023
- Mobility Tracking
- Baseline Assessment
In May 2023, Mobility Tracking was conducted in Garissa County, Kenya. Key findings are presented herein.
In all locations, arrivals were displaced into communities that already were under severe resource constraint as a result of drought, resource-based conflict and ethnic clashes.
In nearly all locations (99%) respondents noted that previously pastoralist households had dropped pastoralism as a way of life. This finding represents a dramatic shift in the culture and livelihoods of Kenyan populations.
DTM identified 10,158 child-headed households. Of these,81 per cent had no form of sustainable support, including income, food, water or shelter. Nearly one-quarter (22%) of school-aged children had dropped out of school in Garissa in 2023, despite 96% of institutions remaining open despite the drought
