Early warning systems for improved human health and resilience to climate sensitive vector-borne diseases in Kenya

Why this project?

There are several factors that influence the occurrence of VBD infections, most importantly: climate, ecosystems, human behaviour and disease pathogens. This project aimed to better understand these factors and help vulnerable populations.

The aim

This project sought to assess the vulnerability of dryland human populations to VBDs and develop strategies and systems to improve their resilience to climate-sensitive vector-borne diseases in Baringo County, Kenya.

The site

Kenya: Baringo County (North Rift Valley)
