A Glimpse of Tana River County

The county is described as an Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) making up 80% of Kenya’s ASAL. Historically, Tana Delta has experienced insecurity, mostly, as a result of competition for natural resources, injustices, political incitement and hate speech, misinformation, and lack of information resulting in inter-ethnic violence mainly between farmers and pastoralists.
