The Republic of Kenya is classified as a low-income country and large populations in vulnerable areas of the country continue to live below the poverty line. The majority of livelihoods, and thus the economy, is reliant on rain-fed agriculture; however, Kenya comprises 83% arid and semi-arid land, which is vulnerable to extreme droughts exacerbated by climate change and variability.
