REACHING RURAL AREAS IN THE SOCIAL PROTECTION RESPONSE TO COVID-19: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES: A CASE FOR KENYA

A REVIEW OF KENYA SIT ITUATION

• Kenya has a population of 47.5m people and 36.5% of

this live below the poverty line;

• A total of 14, 1.3 and 4.2 million people live in rural;

peri-urban and core-urban; and informal settlements respectively;

• 80 percent of Kenya’s land mass is characterized by

aridity;

• People living in the arid areas are exposed to cyclical

climatic shocks and are exposed to many other forms of vulnerabilities.

COVID – 19 19 IN IN KENYA

• To date, Kenya has over recorded 16,000 cases with 7,500

recoveries and 278 deaths. Majority of these cases are concentrated in Nairobi;

• This pandemic will exacerbate poverty due to job loses in the

agricultural sector, the main livelihood source for the rural communities;

• Already, the pandemic has triggered massive job losses in the

service industry sectors in rural and urban areas;

• The movement restrictions imposed by the Government are

bound to disrupt food production by smallholder farmers;

• Over 80 per cent of food consumed in Kenya is produced by

small holder farmers in rural areas;

REACHING THE RURAL POPULATIONS

• The Government of Kenya has established response mechanisms

for COVID 19 in rural and urban areas;

• Although Nairobi has had the highest number of all reported

cases of infections, the cases being reported in the rural areas are steadily rising since early July;

• The Government has established an 8-point Economic Stimulus

Programme worth USD 53.7M in response to the pandemic;

• Provision of free health services for COVID-19 patients in all rural

and urban areas is a priority ;

• A US$100m Fund has been established to cushion vulnerable

households from the effects the pandemic; majority of the recipients are in rural areas;

REACHING THE RURAL POPULATIONS

• A total of US$ 100m has been allocated to seasonal youth

employment programmes in rural and urban areas;

• To cushion 200,000 small holder farmers, a total of US$30m is

available for the supply of farm inputs through e-vouchers;

• A further, US$ 15m has been allocated to flower and horticultural

producers to ensure continued gainful employment for thousands

• f workers in flower growing industry.
• Particular focus is being paid to the most vulnerable communities

and groups: children, teenagers, elderly and citizens with lifestyle diseases, counties with highest prevalence malnutrition;

• UNICEF has planned to provide additional transfers to part of the

current Government cash transfer beneficiaries in rural and urban areas to cushion them from effects of Covid-19 based on poverty and specific health indicators etc.

GAPS AND CHALLENGES IN IN RESPONDING TO COVID-19 IN IN RURAL AREAS

• The Kenya Government spends 0.4 percent of GDP on social
• assistance. This does not adequately cater for in need;
• There are coordination lapses in the current response

mechanisms;

• Lack of a social registry has resulted in response delays by

Government and partners;

• The transfer values provided by different actors are not

harmonized;

• Four out of every five Kenyans have no access to medical

insurance with disparities of 12% and 27% in rural and urban areas respectively;

• With the exception of a pension scheme for persons aged 70 years

and above, social assistance programmes targeted leading to inclusion and exclusion errors;
