Abstract:
"Specifically the project will address the interlinked challenges in the Mara River basin, one of the most vulnerable and most studied trans-boundary river basins in semi-arid Africa, as a case study. The Mara is among the most ecologically important river basins in sub-Saharan Africa. It is a transboundary river basin hosting most of the endangered wildlife species and some of the poorest populations in the sub-region. The institutional, geo-political, socio-economic, biophysical and global drivers of sustainable natural resource management in Kenya and Tanzania also present different types of challenges to transboundary and international coordination in river basin management.
