Location: The Upper Tana, Nairobi, Kenya

Description: The Upper Tana-Nairobi Water Fund is the first “water fundˮ in Africa, which aims to use nature to address the root cause of diminishing water quantity and quality in the region. The project is preventing agricultural expansion that damages water supply by installing drip irrigation kits to improve water efficiency, yields and farmer incomes. To-date, the project has established agroforestry systems on over 150,000 hectares and planted over 1600 km of grass strips and terraces to reduce erosion and runoff while also protecting 2 high biodiversity water towers that benefit more than 1900 freshwater animal species.
