Food insecurity remains a critical challenge, especially for developing countries like Kenya. While factors such as high poverty rate, rural-urban migration, pandemics including Covid-19, desert locusts, etcetera remain part of immediate causes, shocks resulting from climate change, such as drought, continue severely affect food security. Drought significantly affects the four pillars of security (availability, accessibility, utilisation, and stability) at different scales. With the general objective of understanding the influence of drought on households' food security, this study addresses two specific objectives: to analyse the effects of droughts on household food security and to establish the role of livelihood assets in coping with drought-induced food insecurity.
