The present document consists of the official Agenda for the Options by Context Training, held in Kenya, 25-29 May 2015. The event aimed to:
1. Familiarise all ICRAF DryDev staff with the OxC, R in D and planned comparisons approaches being used.
2. Test and revise processes for implementing the approaches.
3. Plan how the methods will be taken 'to scale' in each country.
4. Produce OxC matrices and planned comparison designs for Kenyan sites.

Few regions present bigger development challenges than the African drylands – home to nearly 300 million people, and the vast majority of Africa’s poor. Food security and rural welfare in these areas are limited by a range of factors, biophysical, socio-economic and policy-related. And many of the biggest challenges – poverty, drought, land degradation, food insecurity – will be exacerbated by climate change.

Assessing land restoration potential in semi-arid lands of Kenya
Journal Articles & BooksOctober, 2018Eastern Africa, KenyaDrylands cover over 40% of the earth's surface and support over 2 billion people, globally (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005). In East Africa alone, over 250 million people depend on drylands for their livelihoods (De Leeuw et al., 2014) and in Kenya, 70% of the total land area is classified as arid- and semi-arid (Batjes, 2004). Over the last several decades, an increasing and more sedentary human population has resulted in more pressure on these lands, and an expansion of agricultural production into marginal dryland areas that were traditionally rangelands.

Wildlife populations are declining severely in many protected areas and unprotected pastoral areas of Africa.
Rapid large-scale land use changes, poaching, climate change, rising population pressures, governance, policy, economic
and socio-cultural transformations and competition with livestock all contribute to the declines in abundance. Here we
analyze the population dynamics of 15 wildlife and four livestock species monitored using aerial surveys from 1977 to
