The Kenya Resilient Arid Lands Partnership for Integrated Development (Kenya RAPID) program is trying a new approach to expand access to water and sustainable livestock and rangeland management practices in five northern counties: Garissa, Isiolo, Marsabit , Turkana, and Wajir. The five-year, $35.5 million program, which began in September 2015, rejects the “business as usual” approach to development. All five counties and every one of the 21 partners in this public-private partnership is a co-investor-of human capital, financial capital, software, equipment, or other organizational resources-with the goal of increasing improved water supply availability from 37 to more than 50 percent of residents.

The presentation explored why public private partnerships and multi-sectoral integration are key ingredients to building resilient communities in water scarce environment settings.

This webinar is a part of a monthly series hosted by ABCG’s Integrated Freshwater Conservation-WASH Community of Practice whose aim is to provide a collaborative platform where global health and conservation professionals can share knowledge while connecting and organizing on how to solve common issues.
