The Government of Kenya's efforts to make water supply and sanitation for the public and energy industry in its coastal counties Mombasa and Kwale more resilient have given rise to the World Bank-funded Coastal Region Water Security and Climate Resilience Project. The objective of the project is to sustainably increase bulk water supply to Mombasa County and Kwale County, and increase access to water and sanitation in Kwale County. To achieve this, the project will focus on the management of the Mwache catchment, employing a range of nature-based solutions that will increase water supply and reduce erosion and sediment loss.
