Why Adapt?Ogada dam in Uriri is drying up Water shortage- water point in Uriri
Floods
Climate change is a threat to the livelihoods of the
vulnerable communities

Aim of Adaptation plan
• The aim of the County Adaptation plan is to determine county level vulnerabilities against identified hazards to enhance long term resilience and adaptive capacity.
• It will present adaptation actions that cover the period 2018-2022.
• The plan also will provide a background of the county’s circumstances including socio-economic circumstances and expected climate scenarios to be considered in planning and budgetary processes.

The objectives of CAP are to:
• To develop climate change policies and improve on climate information systems to emphasise the importance of climate change adaptation and resilience building in development
• Integrate climate change adaptation into Migori County development planning and budgetary processes
• Strengthen resilience of public and private sector investments to enhance socio-economic growth.
• Enhance harmony between adaptation and mitigation actions in order attain a low carbon climate resilient economy by developing an action framework.

Interventions/ Strategies
• Capacity buildingCounty staff, legislators, Resource management associations, farmers, public and private sectors, SMEs, general community, schools, fishermen, artisanal miners. (approximately 60,000 jobs lost in the plastic ban)• Advocating for climate change integration in development budgeting• Creating an enabling environment for partnerships and collaborations for climate
action• Promotion and adoption of climate smart technologies• Development of a climate information system• Promotion of agroforestry, afforestation and re afforestation• Promotion of domestic rain water harvesting and storage and the large scale water
harvesting• Promotion of integrated solid waste management

Cont…
• Support of alternative livelihoods.(diversifying economic activities)
• Conservation of Riparian buffer strips
• Development and implementation of Sub-catchment management plans
• Restoration of urban rivers
• Promotion of renewable energy technologies (The largest source of energy in Migori County is biomass with 80% of the county’s energy supply being from firewood and 17% being from charcoal. 77.4% of households within the county use firewood as their main source of energy for cooking, 18.8% uses charcoal while the rest uses either kerosene, electricity or LPG.)

• promoting efficient firewood cook stoves,
• creating ‘green spaces’ in urban centers,
• surveillance of new outbreaks
• vaccination and immunization programmes
• involving forest-dependent rural communities in forests management
