It was therefore recommendable for drought management actors to focus on drought preparedness activities to enhance community resilience. Prioritized activities were capacity building on beef value chain, range land management, post-harvest practices and both human and livestock disease surveillance.
2 1.0 ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS 1.1 METEROLOGICAL DROUGHT Rainfall Onset of rainfall The long rains started in the first week of April compared to the forecasted onset of between 3 rd and 4 th week of March.

Areas with poor pasture included Mbirikani in Kajiado South, Mile 46, Magadi and Ewuaso in Kajiado West. Pasture was below normal at this time of the year due to delayed onset of the rains but was expected to improve by 1 st week of May. 2
3 Browse was good and normal at this time of the year across all livelihood zones. It was expected to last for three months Vegetation Condition Index In the month of April, the vegetation condition index (VCI) for the county was which implies that in April this year the vegetation condition was worse compared to other months of April in the previous years (Figure 2). The VCI season graph shows a deteriorating trend and below the long term average (Figure 3). Deterioration of vegetation condition in April was due to delayed onset of long rains. Substantial amount of rains in the county were experienced in the 4 th week of April. The VCI for sub-counties in April were: Kajiado Central 18.47, Kajiado East 20.32, Kajiado North 26.89, Kajiado South and Kajiado West Figure 2: 3-Monthy Vegetation condition index matrix for Kajiado County Figure 3: 3-Monthly vegetation condition index seasonal graph for Kajiado County 3
4 1.3 HYDROLOGICAL DROUGHT Water Resources The main sources of water for livestock in pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihood zones in the month of April were dams and pans. Boreholes and shallow river wells were sources for water for domestic use. Piped water was being used in pastoral areas of Ewuaso and Mbirikani mainly for domestic use. These were the normal sources at this time of the year. Dams and pans were significantly recharged after the rains and these sources were expected to last for about two months Household access to Water Following the April rains that recharged dams, pans and shallow river wells, the average distance from the household to the water point decreased to 3.95 km from 7.57 km in March. Variation in distances to water point from household existed across livelihood zones and within livelihood zone. High distances of up to 6 km were observed in Pastoral livelihood zone of Meto in Kajiado Central while in pastoral livelihood of Loodokilani in Kajiado West the distance to water point from the household was 1 km. Figure 4: Household distance to water sources for Kajiado County Livestock access to water The average distance from grazing areas to main water sources in April was 4.68 km compared to 6.61 km in March. The decline in distance was due to April rains that recharged pans and dams. The April average distance was below the long term average of 4.95 km. Long distances of up to 10 km were observed in pastoral livelihood of Mbirikani in Kajiado South while short distances of about 1 km were observed in pastoral livelihood of Loodokilani in Kajiado West. Figure 5: Distance to water source from grazing areas for Kajiado County 4
5 2.0 PRODUCTION INDICATORS 2.1 Livestock production Livestock Migration patterns Return migration of cattle from Tanzania to Meto and that from Chyulu hills to Mbirikani were reported in the month of April Livestock Body Condition Cattle body condition was still poor in most parts of the county. However following the rains in April, the situation was expected to improve in the next two to three weeks as a result of improved pasture and shorter distances to watering points. Sheep and goat body condition was good across all the livelihood zones due to good browse Livestock Diseases There were no reports of outbreak of livestock diseases in the month of April. Mass vaccination was carried out in February and March by County Government and National Drought Management Authority Milk Production The average milk production per household slightly increased to 2.6 liters per day from less than one liter per day in the month of March. The increase was due to improved pasture and water availability as a result of long rains. Variations in milk production across livelihood zones were significant. The average milk production per day per household in agro pastoral livelihood was 3.95 liters compared to 1.31 liters in pastoral zones The milk production for the month of April was below the long term average owing to delayed long rains that came in April as opposed to March. Pasture had not yet fully regenerated and cattle body condition was still poor. 2.2 Rain-fed Crop Production Crop Production and Performance During the fourth week of April, weeding was going on in most farms in agro pastoral areas of Mashuuru and Enkorika and in mixed farming zones of Loitokitok and Ngurman Main crops grown during the long rains were maize and beans. Maize were a foot high while beans had four to six leaves 3.0 ACCESSS INDICATORS 3.1 Livestock Prices Livestock Terms of Trade The term of trade in April improved to 71 kilogram of maize per goat from 63 kilograms of maize per goat. Improvement in terms of trade was due to improved prices of goats and stabilized market price of maize. The terms of trade for April was above long term average of 53 kilograms of maize per goat. In April last year one would buy 76 kilograms of maize by selling a goat 5
6 Figure 6: Terms of trade for Kajiado County Cattle Prices The average household price for a mature bull in April was Ksh 16,897 compared to Ksh 16,010 in March.

Figure 9: Average price for sheep for Kajiado County Milk prices The household price of milk price in April was Ksh 44 for a 750 ml bottle compared to Ksh 50 in March. Increase in milk price was due to anticipated increase in production Much of the milk produced was restricted to consumption at household level. Sale of milk was confined to agro pastoral areas of Kiserian where dairy farming was practiced. 3.2 Price of Cereals and other food Products Price of Maize The market price of maize remained stable since December In April 2015, a kilogram of maize was retailing at Ksh 41. Stability of the maize prices was due to substantial supply of maize from Tanzania. The April price for maize was above the long term average of Ksh 39 per kilogram.

8 Figure 10: Average price of maize for Kajiado County Price of Beans On average, the market price for beans increased from Ksh 82 per kilogram in March to Ksh 85 per kilogram in April.

The price of beans for April this year was below long term average of Ksh 93 as while as below the price of April last year. Figure 11: Average price of beans for Kajiado County 3.3 Access to Food and Water Availability of milk for household consumption The average household milk consumption in April was 1.2 liters per day in comparison to less than a liter in March. Low milk consumption at the household was attributed to low production. In April 2014 the average household milk consumption per day was 2.70 liters. 4.0 UTILIZATION INDICATORS 4.1 Health and Nutrition Status MUAC The risk of malnutrition for children aged between 12 to 59 months in the county improved in the month of April compared to March. 8
9 In April the percentage of children aged 12 to 59 months who were at risk of malnutrition was 8.24 compared to in March. The April situation is worse than the long term average. The reduction in the percentage of children aged 12 to 59 months who are at risk of malnutrition is would be attributed to increased milk consumption and improved terms of trade.
