Farmers in Kilifi County (located along the Kenyan Coast) suffer from the effects of climate change, such as extended droughts, yet their adaptive capacity remains low due to high poverty rates and unreliable weather forecasting information. In this context, traditional knowledge and practices provide an important informally and, to some extent, time-tested basis for dealing in part with the challenges of climate change. This study highlights some of the Indigenous knowledge used to infer changes in weather patterns by farmers in Kilifi as well as adaptation strategies they  reported  using to cope with the effects of climate change. The challenges and limitations they faced with the use of this knowledge are  discussed. A radio intervention program providing scientific information on adaption strategies for farming was developed and evaluated. This paper discusses the results of that intervention and first recommends the integration of Indigenous knowledge into formal climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies in order to provide farmers with sustainable farming strategies that are contextually and culturally rich. Second,  the need for financial support for farmers to access sustainable technologies such as seeds for planting drought-resistant crops is highlighted.
