Abstract: This ward-level PCRA offers detailed insights into Churo/Amaya?s climate vulnerability, shaped by drought cycles, environmental degradation, conflict, and socio-economic conditions. The assessment uses local knowledge, wealth ranking, seasonal calendars, and hazard mapping to assess risks across livestock, water, land, and settlement systems. It shows how poor households, pastoralists, and lactating mothers are disproportionately affected. Key hazards include unreliable rainfall, depleted pastures, human-wildlife conflict, and resource-based tensions. Community adaptation strategies proposed include tree planting, early maturing livestock breeds, small-scale irrigation, sand dams, and water harvesting tanks. The report features stakeholder mapping across government, NGOs, ranches, and donor programs and encourages collaborative implementation. It helps embed climate resilience into ward-level planning and budgeting.
