1.0  BACKGROUND

IR Kenya started operations in Kenya in 1993 through a local CBO in Mandera District, Northern Kenya. It opened its fully-fledged office in March 2006 at the height of the drought in the Horn of Africa. Since then, it has been providing humanitarian and development assistance to vulnerable communities. Over these years, IRK has remarkably changed the lives of the vulnerable and disadvantaged communities. In January 2010 and October 2011, IRK extended its operation to Wajir County and Garissa County, to serve both the local community and refugees at Dadaab Camp. Islamic Relief Kenya is currently implementing programmes in the following sectors: Health and Nutrition; WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene); Sustainable Livelihoods and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR); Child Welfare/Protection & Education; and Emergency Response.

IR Kenya commits to standards which ascribe to program quality and improved programming. This obliges us to conduct Baseline and Endline Evaluations study for all development projects in the specific areas of the project interventions to help in setting benchmarks for the project before implementation of the project activities which will be used to leverage changes at the end of the project to enable is in documenting intended and unintended changes that have been realized, which can be attributed to the project.
