The document summarizes a two-year research project in northern Kenya that aimed to inform the adaptation of pastoralist communities to climate change. The project was launched in 2008 and involved partners including universities and NGOs. It sought to understand the factors contributing to communities' vulnerability, evaluate gender dimensions, identify traditional and new adaptation strategies, and determine constraints to adaptation. The methodology included participatory meetings, planning, and workshops to disseminate experiences around water and pasture management. Results included increased use of climate information and regulated grazing patterns. The conclusion emphasized that supporting community analysis and regularly briefing local agencies promotes disaster risk management approaches.
