Between March 15 and May 15, 2021, we conducted a Rapid Assessment of the Impact of the COVID-19 Crisis on the Functioning of the Livestock Sector in Kenya. This assignment focused on evaluating the pandemic’s effects on the sector and identifying challenges to its functionality through a multistakeholder approach. The project involved close collaboration with sector-rooted partners, including platforms, institutions, and projects, ensuring the assessment was grounded in practical insights.

Frequent communication and engagement with these stakeholders were critical to gathering and validating sector information. This rapid assessment offered a comprehensive overview of the COVID-19 crisis’s impacts, equipping stakeholders with the information needed to address challenges and enhance resilience within Kenya’s livestock sector.
