Description: RANGE (Resilient Approaches in Natural ranGeland Ecosystems) is a five-year project (2024-2028) funded by the Dutch Embassy in Kenya. It aims to strengthen the resilience of communities in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) in the Isiolo, Marsabit and Samburu counties. This will be achieved through multiple interventions and capacity building activities.
The aim is to improve rangeland management, sustainable production methods, strengthened government structures, and better-informed decision making through research and resulting evidence. This research will focus on combining local knowledge with earth observation solutions and geospatial techniques, and be carried out in part through offering scholarships to local PhD and MSc students. RANGE also intends to build strong partnerships with other institutions, building upon ongoing local and national initiatives.
Partners: Mercy Corps, FCDC and Faculty ITC of the University of Twente
