Mwache Dam Project Training of Water Resources Users Association (WRUAs)

From 27th to 31st October 2025, the Mwache Dam Project, through the Water Resources Authority and its partners, trained champions from 14 Water Resource Users Associations (WRUAs) across Taita Taveta, Kilifi, and Kwale counties to strengthen community stewardship in water catchment conservation.

The sessions brought together community leaders, faith-based representatives, schools, NGOs, and local administrators to deepen their understanding of integrated water resources management and the Mwache Catchment Management Plan. Through knowledge sharing and practical discussions, participants explored solutions for sustainable land and water use to reduce siltation and safeguard the dam’s water capacity.

To date, 310 km of trenching and 3,120 hectares of land have been restored across 24 WRUAs, showcasing real progress toward resilient and sustainable watershed protection.
