With initial funding from AFFORD UK, Riana Development Network (RDN) introduced asset ownership program in Magina, western Kenya towards farming, rearing small ruminants and birds by vulnerable families towards better living standards. This later led to is a 2 years UKAID funded project, Creating Decent Employment Opportunities for youth and women (CREDEE) that creates the condition necessary to expand faming opportunities and “pull” partnerships towards market value chains. This is implemented in 4 locations in Magina, Western Kenya, targets most vulnerable populations who are hanging at a risk of absolute poverty.
CREDEE program focuses on the qualitative results of the program as the beneficiaries experience them, and being informed as climate change and unpredictable weather patterns increases forcing more families into informal temporary employment.
