What the UNDP is doing with regards
to crisis prevention and recovery in Kenya
The crisis prevention and recovery component
aims at further reducing the spread of
HIV/AIDS and improving the quality of
life of those affected and infected, in
line with Millennium
Development goals while also strengthening
the capacity to design, implement, monitor
and evaluate HIV/AIDS programmes. Furthermore,
the component aims to reduce the incidence
of natural and man-made disasters and
insecurity on the lives of the poor by
enhancing multi-sectoral responses to
HIV/AIDS, natural disasters mitigation
capacity, and conflict resolution and
peace building. The following are the
main outcomes of UNDP’s intervention:
A. Sustained political and administrative
leadership in the fight against HIV/AIDS
at the national and constituency levels;
B. Capacity to mitigate the impact of
HIV/AIDS through support for infected
and affected persons;
C. Disaster management and reduction of
small arms proliferation.
