The project is designed to support communities and their own institutions/organisations in Laikipia and Isiolo to strengthen their water security through inculcating practices and interventions that enhance nature-based water security and livelihood solutions. The project targets community organised groups or institutions to implement activities according to their visions and contingency plans. The plans are pre-identified by the communities to undertake climate resilience initiatives relevant to their landscapes. The initiatives will be designed and implemented by the community organisations using inclusive and participatory strategies with support from IMPACT and other stakeholder identified by them.
