Pastoral Communities Empowerment programe (PACEP)
The initiative aims to create a more sustainable food system, resulting in healthier communities through traditional food and knowledge revitalization by (1) assessing the historical and existing traditional food systems within the Pokot community from production and land management through to consumption, with a particular emphasis on enablers of a healthy food system, (2) Building the capacity of community members through traditional food workshops, and (3) Facilitate learning and intergenerational knowledge transfer.
An assessment report provides a step-by-step procedure for identifying, documenting, and inventorying the traditional foodways of the communities. It covers aspects such as types of traditional foods, traditional foodways seasons, harvesting and preparation methods, preservation methods, nutritional values, and rituals/ceremonies.
