. Dryland regions in Kenya occupy 80-90% of the land mass, are home to 36% of the population  and contribute about 10% of Kenya's gross domestic product  , which includes half of its agricultural GDP . In dryland regions, pastoralism has long been the predominant form of livelihood and subsistence . The GoK seeks to improve connectivity and communication infrastructure within the drylands to better exploit and develop livestock, agriculture, tourism, energy and extractive sectors . It argues that the transformation of dryland regions is crucial to enhance the development outcomes for the more than 15 million people who inhabit these areas  and to help the country to realise its wider national ambitions including a 10% year on year growth in GDP . A key element within this vision is the promotion and implementation of the Lamu Port South Sudan Ethiopia  project. The LAPSSET Corridor consists of two elements: the 500 meter wide Infrastructure Corridor where the road, railway, pipelines, power transmission and other projects will be located and the Economic Corridor of 50 km on either sides of the infrastructure corridor which will be contain other industrial investments . Supporters of the LAPSSET project argue that it will help achieve priorities laid out in the Vision 2030 by opening up poorly connected regions, enabling the development of pertinent economic sectors such as agriculture, livestock and energy, and supporting the attainment of a range of social goals made possible as the economy grows .
