The University of Nairobi, through the Institute for Climate Change and Adaptation (ICCA), is at the forefront of research aimed at addressing water security challenges in Africa. Led by Prof. Daniel Olago, ICCA is collaborating with the University of Oxford's REACH program to develop sustainable water management solutions for millions of people in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Research conducted by both universities has highlighted the pressing need for evidence-based policies and programs to mitigate the impacts of climate change on water resources. By protecting water catchment areas, promoting adaptive water management practices, and leveraging smart technologies, it is possible to ensure water security for vulnerable populations.
The collaborative efforts between the University of Nairobi and the University of Oxford demonstrate the power of international partnerships in addressing global challenges. Through their joint research, they are working to provide practical solutions that can improve the lives of millions of people.
