The Merti Integrated Development Programme: MID-P

The Project has Co-created business cases with Mugie Conservancy, IMPACT Kenya and Merti Integrated Development Programme (MIDP). The business cases were approved and funded in the last quarter of the year (2022). The third business case proposals for solutions to address gaps in food security, value chain marketing, water and climate change has been plotted and evaluated. The Indigenous Movement for Peace Advancement and Conflict Transformation (IMPACT) has been selected for co-creation of the business idea.

In the MID-P Business Case, the project has focused on several objectives, including:

  • Increasing Knowledge on Poultry Rearing and Management: Providing training and educational resources to enhance understanding and skills in poultry rearing and management practices among community members.
  • Establishing a Poultry Unit in Merti: Establishing a poultry production facility at Bada Women Group to promote income generation and food security through poultry farming.
  • Dissemination of Climate Change Information through Community Champions: Engaging community champions to disseminate information and raise awareness about climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies among local residents.
  • Support for the Grazing Committee in Rangelands Management: Providing assistance and support to the grazing committee to improve rangeland management practices, promote sustainable grazing techniques, and enhance land stewardship in the area.
