Does resilience-building last when projects end? Retrospective lessons from projects to support pastoralists in Turkana, Kenya

Abstract

The authors examine what happened to 3 interventions that supported pastoralists in Turkana, Kenya, 6 years after a project closed. The interventions were: establishing village savings and loan associations (VSLAs); improving water supply; and supporting livestock marketing.
