Laikipia, Isiolo, Samburu Transtorming  the Environment through Nexus Project The Laikipia, Isiolo, Samburu Transforming  the Environment through Nexus (LISTEN) project seeks  to contribute  to the goal of  enhancing  resilience  of  food, nutrition  and  water security  in the  three  selected  Arid  and  Semi-Arid  Lands  (ASAL)  counties. This Euro 3.6  million project will be undertaken over a period of three and a half  years  by  a  consortium   comprising  Frontier Counties  Development   Council  (FCDC),  Alliance for a Green Revolution  in Africa (AGRA) and SNV Netherlands  Development Organisation  with SNV  as  the  lead  agency. Each  organisation brings  their own specialisation  to the table and  will  combined their capacity to achieve four key outcomes: 1.    Outcome  1:  Improved  institutional  capacities  and programming  frameworks  for  inclusive  climate re­silience at the county level. 2.    Outcome 2: Improved water and livelihood resource management at Landscape level in the Ewaso Nyiro River Basin Ecosystem. 3.    Outcome   3:    Increased production and income through adoption of Good Agricultural Practice (GAP), good management  and efficient  waterpractices technologies and innovations in selected crop and livestock value chains, including fodder and for­ age 4.    Outcome 4:  Use of Knowledge and Innovation management increased  in ASALs. The project is anchored on the county governments for owner­ ship and scale and will work at the county, and landscape commu­nity and  farmer  level. It is designed  to support  the  three  selected county governments in identifying initiatives and increasing the adoption and upscaling of climate resilient practices and innovations  leading to an increase in resilience of food, nutrition and water security  in the counties  in spite of climate change. It will use a Nexus approach  to development, recognising  and lev­eraging on ongoing  and complementary  activities and agencies across the different sectors, drawing  in  community  and  ward level initiatives with implementation and service delivery carried out  through  the  private  sector  where  possible.   SNV's  Climate and  Business Product  model  and  AGRA's  Village  Based  Agents approach  will be used for scale-up and increased  private sector involvement.
