World Bank Approves $400 Million for Kenya's El Niño Risks

Kenya will receive about $400 million from the World Bank in the next six weeks through reallocating undisbursed funds from its $7 billion portfolio.

The money targets Ebola surveillance, agriculture and water support for expected heavy rains, and relief from energy costs linked to the Iran conflict.

Past El Niño events displaced a million people and caused massive damage, making this preparation vital. Online views split between praise for the flexibility and questions on accountability and past loan impacts.
