Our impact

- Enhance resilience and sustainability of the IWRM sector considering climatic and socio-economic trends.
- Enhance capacity of relevant authorities in the IWRM sector in Kenya to develop and implement more integrated, coherent and collaborative nexus approaches to enhance and sustain water supply and sanitation for all.
