| dc.description.abstract | Drought has been a major threat and a pressing issue affecting communities globally and locally causing significant challenges to agriculture, livelihoods of individuals and also a big threat to the entire environment. In response to this critical threat that is the drought disaster, this project proposal is proposing various comprehensive mechanisms that are going to be useful in reducing or limiting the adverse effects of drought being faced by farmers locally and globally. This project aimed to build resilience among communities’ livelihoods. Drought is often referred to as the creeping disaster and it is not merely a temporary problem but a pervasive threat that disrupts the ecosystem, endangers livelihood and it also undermines socioeconomic stability. This project endeavored to address the pressing issue of drought, its mitigation measures and response through a multi-dimensional approach that constitutes scientific approaches, community engagement together with innovative solutions from individuals. By following the adverse effects of drought, this project aimsed to formulate some targeted strategies that will enhance livelihood resilience, minimize risk and also promote sustainable water management especially for the farmers who rely on rain-fed agriculture. This project sought to not only provide the mitigation measures for the immediate impacts of drought to farmers but also to build a long-term resilience against future occurrences of drought. This project entailed the background of the study which highlights some previous study of the project, the problem statement of the entire research which consists of the ideal scenario, the reality and challenges, the objectives of the study that is the general objective and the specific objectives, the methods of collecting data and analysis it.This research conducted various literature reviews in chapter two of the project and various data collection methodologies were used in chapter three of this project .Chapter four presented the findings and discussions from the research conducted on the effects of drought on the farmers, particularly of Bamba in Ganze Sub County in the present Kilifi County. The chapter is organized in a structure as follows: an overview of the findings, response rate, demographic characteristics of the respondents, the study’s raw findings on the effects of drought on the inhabitants, the roles of organizations in responding to drought, sustainable mitigation measures and a discussion of the findings.The findings were comprehensively presented alongside relevant data visualizations and statistical analyses to improve the comprehension. Chapter five entailed the summary of the findings of the study, the conclusions of the entire project based on the the study findings, the recommendations for policy or practice offered by the researcher based on the study findings are detailed in this chapter and the recommendations for further research that included the aspects that are considered to be gaps in the study, the ones that need deeper investigation through thorough research were highlighted in this chapter | en_US |
