The study focused on how climate change policies were being communicated among smallholder farmers to promote effective adaptation for food security and community resilience. It was believed that several climate-related policies were being developed and communicated by national and county governments and other stakeholders. However, very little was known about the entire the climate policy communication ecology. Using a sample of smallholder farmers and local stakeholders, the study aimed to discern how climate change policy communication worked in Laikipia county. Results indicate that how the policies were implemented were predicated on communication with key players who are farmers. The problem of lack of implementation was related with where, when and how policies were being communicated to the farmers.
