Dr Mary Makokha specialises in hydrology and water resource management within the frameworks of climate change, Vision 2030, the Sustainable Development Goals and Kenya’s Big 4 Agenda.
In Kenya, dryland makes up over 80% of the country, and Dr Makokha will engage dry-land stakeholders to establish vulnerability, adaptive capacity, and the effectiveness of government-led climate change measures in protecting dry-land ecosystems. This will be in collaboration with Raphael Kioko of the ASAL (Arid and Semi-Arid Lands) stakeholder forum in Kenya.
The project aims to empower women, who control less than 2% of the land despite providing households with 80% of their food.
