Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and severity of droughts in Kaku ma refugee camp in Kenya. This has an impact on the livelihoods of refugee youth with physical disabilities (RYWPDs), who have more limited livelihood options than other refugees due to their physical disability and who face significant social and infrastructural factors. However, to date, little attention has been paid to RYWPDs and their specific needs. To address this gap, this study explored the adaptation strategies of RYWPDs and the barriers they face, using a qualitative research approach. The results show RYWPDs to be active in adapting their livelihoods to drought, rather than passive recipients of aid.
