Welcome to the official website of the State Department for Special Programmes, your trusted partner in disaster management, humanitarian assistance, and emergency response across Kenya. As a department under the Ministry of Devolution and ASALs, we are committed to safeguarding vulnerable communities from the effects of droughts, floods, conflicts, and other emergencies through coordinated and compassionate interventions.
Our mandate is rooted in service — to ensure no Kenyan is left behind during times of crisis. Whether it is through the distribution of relief food and non-food items, the deployment of rapid emergency response teams, or long-term resilience building in ASAL counties, we are here to serve with dedication, transparency, and humanity.
This platform is designed to inform, engage, and empower. Here, you’ll find updates on our interventions, downloadable reports and assessments, media briefings, public notices, and real stories from the ground. It is also a space for collaboration — we invite feedback, questions, and ideas from partners, the public, and communities we serve.
In a world where disasters are increasingly complex, timely information and united action are more important than ever. We encourage you to stay informed, get involved, and explore how the State Department for Special Programmes is working every day to build resilience and restore hope for all Kenyans.
Karibuni.
