Jordan, I.; Parisi, I.L.; Waswa, L.; Keding, G. (2026) From the drylands: Exploring Turkana’s food environment through participatory video. [Video] [Blog post] Bioversity International and the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT). Duration: 4:22

The participatory video experience in Kenya was developed with two communities, one agro-pastoralist and the other pastoralist from Turkana County. In 2023, 40 young adults (aged 18-24 years) formed eight groups (four groups of women, four groups of men) to capture their perceived food environment through smartphone video-making. Challenging high levels of illiteracy and low levels of digital inclusion (98% of them had never touched a smartphone before), they learned how to create maps of their food environment, create and edit videos, and develop a storyboard to guide them through the editing process.

The participatory video process is part of the FEnDrylands project funded by the Fiat Panis Foundation. The case study that led to this initiative was funded by BMZ with support from GIZ through the ImproDiet-Co project.
