The National Environment Management Authority (Nema) has received a Sh1 billion grant to combat the effects of climate change by increasing water security for more than one million lower eastern region residents.

The funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), a financial mechanism operating under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, will be used to improve water security and reduce the impact of drought in the River Athi catchment area.
