Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA) has embarked on afforestation programmes along settlement regions prone to landslides in North Rift to avert tragedies in future.

The authority, in partnership with an Italian Corporation, seeks to prevent flash floods through indigenous and fruit tree planting to enhance conservation efforts and boost food security in the region.
