The impact of #COVID19 on #indigenouspeoples in Africa is more than an health issue - it also affects their livelihood and can lead to increased persecutions and #humanrights abuses. See @achpr statement https://t.co/ozjt8hEKLv…

@CoryJRodgers @hassankochore @Loyapan @AQurewa @PASTRES_erc @DLCI_Drylands @ILRI @PPGKenya Most of these areas hv community radios, in some areas vernacular commercial radios. These should be used. Govt shld deliberately develop community learning programmes on #covid19kenya. This is cheapest way of reaching #pastoralists @kcomnet @MediaCouncilK @vicbwire @CEMIRIDE_KE

[Cory Rodgers @CoryJRodgers]

To Kenya’s leaders: what is the alternative to barazas for getting the word out on #COVIDー19? News clips and WhatsApp blasts aren’t going to reach some people, especially in ASAL regions like Turkana, and moreover in herding communities. What is the guidance for location chiefs?

[Cory Rodgers @CoryJRodgers]

Any idea how pastoralists in Kenya are being / will be prepared against #COVIDー19 without bringing them into close contact in barazas? @hassankochore @Loyapan @AQurewa @PASTRES_erc @DLCI_Drylands @ILRI @PPGKenya @PPGKenya @KPWKenya
