dc.description.abstractThis study is a review aimed at understanding how Kenyan politics have impacted Kenya’s food security. According to the Global Hunger Index 2018, Kenya still has “serious levels of hunger” with a score of 23.2 and a ranking of 77 out of 119 countries. The Global Hunger Index (GHI) is a tool designed to comprehensively measure and track hunger at the global, regional, and country levels by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). Kenya prides itself as an agriculturally rich country with agriculture being Kenya’s greatest contributor to its GDP. Despite this however, Kenya is still in the ranks of food insecure countries. The objective of this study is thus to understand how political stability impacts food security and to understand what policies have been formulated in alignment to Goal 2 of Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs): ending hunger, achieving food security and improved nutrition, and promoting sustainable agriculture. The study is thus aimed at creating awareness of the struggles of hunger among Kenyans and offering recommendations on what can be done to ensure food security for the Kenyan population. Desktop research will be used in carrying out the study. The study will help to increase commitment and resources dedicated to ending hunger in Kenya thus achieving Zero hunger by 2030.en_US
