Criterion for Selection of the County
- Tana River County has 4% arable land and 96% non-arable.
- The economic activity in the non-arable land is pastoralism.
- The pastoral and agro pastoral communities face numerous livelihood risks including recurrent drought, conflicts over resources, flooding along the River Tana among others.
- Tana delta acts as a dry season grazing area that attracts pastoralists from other neighbouring counties thus putting pressure on the resources.
- Average rainfall in the county is less than 600ml per year.
- It is against this background that Tana River County was selected to build the resilience of the communities.
