The authority has recognized camel as an important mobile pastoral production systems in the arid and semi-arid The objective among other is to develop high yielding camel dairy and value addition through research.
The production of stabilized soil bricks and micro concrete roofing tiles is to transfer appropriate technology for the production of decent, durable and affordable building materials to the local people in the ENNDA region.
Gums and Resins are among the natural resources in the Ewaso Ng’iro North River Basin with potential for generating wealth and uplifting the living standards of the local community in this region. Commercial gum Arabic is obtained from acacia Senegal or A. Seyal while gum resins are Myrrh from Commiphora Myrrha, Hagar from C. Holtiziana and frank incense from Boswelia Neglecta.
Most of the produce in Kenya are exported for use as preservative medicinal valve and cosmetic production.
ENNDA has established a gums and resins factory in Wajir to add valve to these produce by storage, cleaning sorting, grading packaging and labeling for commercial use either locality or internationally.
