This map, produced by MapAction in partnership with the ASAL Humanitarian Network (AHN), visualizes the total value and distribution of multi-purpose cash transfers (MPCTs) across Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) in response to the ongoing drought crisis. It shows the cash transfer value per sub-county, expressed in Kenyan Shillings (KES) and USD equivalents, for planned and completed MPCT cycles initiated in November 2021.

Transfer values range from KES 660,000 to over KES 6 million per sub-county, representing between two and three monthly payment cycles to targeted households. The highest cumulative transfer value recorded was KES 9.84 million, reflecting areas of concentrated vulnerability and population density.

Developed using administrative boundaries from IEBC and GADM, and supported by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO), this visualization provides a national overview of AHN’s cash response footprint. It highlights the geographic equity of humanitarian support and reinforces the role of cash-based assistance in safeguarding livelihoods and promoting household resilience in drought-affected areas.
