Project description

The African Climate and Environment Center – Future African Savannas (AFAS) Annual Stakeholder Workshop, held on November 18, 2024, in Nairobi, convened a diverse range of participants from academia, policy, industry, and civil society. With the theme "Transferring Science into Practice," the event emphasized the urgent need to convert research into actionable strategies for climate adaptation and biodiversity conservation in Africa's savanna ecosystems.

The REACH Programme, a collaborative effort between the University of Nairobi and the University of Oxford, has played a critical role in tackling water insecurity in Kenya's drylands, particularly in Turkana County. This initiative, spearheaded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, aims to enhance water security for over 10 million people in Africa and Asia by delivering world-class science that transforms policy and practice.
