What to Know About Elwak North

Key Facts

Elwak North is a ward located within Mandera South sub-county in Kenya's Mandera County. Situated in the northeastern part of Kenya near the Somali border, this administrative division forms part of the larger North Eastern region known for its arid to semi-arid landscape characterized by low rainfall and sparse vegetation. The ward covers an area of approximately 1,200 square kilometers and serves a population of around 25,000 residents, primarily from pastoralist communities whose livelihoods depend on livestock rearing in this challenging environment. Elwak North is administratively divided into several smaller locations and sub-locations that help coordinate local governance and service delivery. The area's proximity to the international border gives it strategic importance for cross-border trade and security considerations, while its location within the larger Mandera region places it within one of Kenya's most remote and economically marginalized areas. As part of Kenya's devolved government structure, residents can access postal code information and administrative services for Elwak North's constituent sub-regions through the county government's digital platforms and physical administrative offices.
