In order to increase agricultural productivity and enhance resilience to climate change risks in targeted smallholder farming and pastoral communities in Kenya, I have set aside Kshs8.9 billion for the Climate Smart Agricultural Productivity Project, Kshs1.1 billion to enhance drought resilience and sustainable livelihood, Kshs178 million towards ending drought emergencies in Kenya and in addition, I have proposed an allocation of Kshs529.5 million for the Livestock and Crop Insurance Scheme to reduce the vulnerabilities of Kenyan farmers to diseases and natural disasters.
