CRISIS PREVENTION AND RECOVERY IN KENYA


 

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.
