A Study of Education and Resilience in Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands, UNICEF, November 2015

How can education in northern Kenya’s arid lands help build a stronger and more secure society and economy? This study uses a resilience framework to ask how various education systems in the arid lands are helping or hindering young people and their societies to absorb shocks, adapt to and minimize stresses, and transform in positive ways when confronted with internal change and external pressures. The question is based on the concept of peacebuilding, in which it is assumed that people and societies are resilient when they accommodate adversity through complementary absorptive, adaptive and transformative capacities.
