Community Engagement & Walk along Ngong River
The involvement of local and international partners significantly enriched the conversations, with prominent figures such as the Deputy PermRep to UN, Dr Martin Röw and UN Habitat's Oumar Sylla contributing valuable insights. Dr. Pamela Olet, Chairperson of the Nairobi Rivers Commission, also made substantial contributions.
An informative walk along one of the Ngong Rivers provided firsthand insight into the precarious state of the Nairobi Dam and its tributaries. The event concluded with the identification of crucial solutions, particularly highlighting the necessity for collaborative partnerships and mobilization of resources.
Acknowledging the intricate nature of the project, involving various agencies, there was unanimous agreement on the indispensability of collective efforts that surpass the capabilities of any singular organization.
The event achieved the following:
1. 263 community members participated and sensitized.
2. 400 meters of the river was covered during the walk.
