2. Environmental Assessment Programme
The programme seeks to provide concrete evidence of the nature and scale of detrimental changes arising from anthropogenic activities and to also serve as a guide, direct and evacuate the success of conservation interventions.
Activities undertaken include routine surveillance of water quality in the water bodies, development of infrastructure to measure hydrological and meteorological parameters. read more . . .
3. Climate Change ‘Amplifying Voices for Just Climate Action’.
In some cases, the decentralization of decision-making and political control creates conflicts and delays between agencies, hampering the development of climate resilient programming, yet equally, while heavily top-down decision-making structures can help to implement programmes quickly, they often fail to allow participation of those people they are designed to help.
Consequently, a balance must be struck between the need to build climate resilience rapidly and the need to avoid maladaptation by ensuring marginalized voices and climate science agencies contribute to the process of decision-making, planning and implementation. Read more . . .
4. Promoting Sustainable Lake Basin Management
Our mission is to gradually improve the health of our lakes and rivers and their catchments through promoting Integrated Lake Basin (ILBM) approaches which integrate policies, institutions, public participation, technologies, evidence-based information for decision-making, and sustainable financing.
We are advocating for promoting sustainable lake basin management in Kenya though implementation of the National Lake Strategy. Read more . . .
