810 million shillings was spent to cushion drought-striken households in the arid north of the country between November 2016 and April 2017 .

The State Department of Social Protection says the severity of the drought forced the government to scale up the Hunger Safety Net programme five times between November and April, reaching an additional 546,000 people in the counties of Turkana, Mandera, Marsabit and Wajir.
