The BRACED programme is being implemented by Mercy Corps in Wajir County in Kenya and in the Karamoja sub region of Uganda. The programme
focuses on market linkages, natural resource management, governance and gender. A number of modifications have been made to the programme since its inception based on the findings of the mid term review as well as other assessments.
Some activities have been halted or scaled back after being assessed as inappropriate or simply not cost effective. Other activities have been restructured and modified with a view to increasing impact.
