🌍 FROM LOCAL STEWARDS TO GLOBAL PARTNERS 🌍 Through our October 2025 #DevelopmentDialogues Edition, @TardaKE is turning Kenya’s greatest assets—land, water & ecosystems— into global opportunities through climate finance & community action. Read more: linkedin.com/pulse/from-loca…

#HAPPENINGNOW: 🌍⚡ WE'RE LIVE! TARDA DEVELOPMENT DIALOGUES – OCTOBER 2025 EDITION ⚡🌍 1:The #DevelopmentDialogues have officially kicked off! Leading voices from @TardaKE, #PlanVivo #KenyaWildlifeConservanciesAssociation, @lukenyaunidig and more are unpacking powerful points!

Rivers, soils and forests are not just natural assets — they are Kenya’s latent balance sheet. If we treat them as such, we can mobilize resources in climate finance to protect livelihoods, restore ecosystems and build a resilient economy. This Friday, 3rd October at 10:00 AM via Zoom, @TardaKE convenes the #OctoberEdition of the #DevelopmentDialogues with the theme: “Leveraging Land, Water and Ecosystem Assets for Climate Finance and Sustainable Development.” We will host an exciting panel of practitioners, policy-makers, academia and community leaders to move the conversation from theory to action. Why this matters now: • Climate capital is flowing — but it goes where risks are managed, returns are credible, and communities share benefits. • Kenya’s river basins (Tana & Athi) are living laboratories: if we can package bankable projects here — from catchment PES and eco-charcoal to irrigation-anchored PPPs and verified carbon bundles — we create a model Africa can replicate. • Technology (GIS, MRV, remote sensing, digital registries) now lets us measure and monetize natural capital with rigor — unlocking new revenue streams while safeguarding ecosystems. The webinar is a practical roadmap for converting basin-level interventions into investment-ready pipelines. If you are a development leader, technical expert, civil society actor, academia or development partner concerned with resilient food systems, water security, and ethical nature-based finance — join us. 🔗 Link: us06web.zoom.us/j/8895090828… We must turn ecosystems into engines of prosperity — not just for the next budget round, but for generations to come. Looking forward to a robust, practical and outcome-driven discussion! #ClimateFinance #NaturalCapital #SustainableDevelopment #WaterSecurity #CircularEconomy #FoodSecurity #OurBasinsOurFuture #TARDAAt50 @CSBeatriceMoe @harsama_kello @pggichohi @Joymdivo

Had a constructive and forward-looking interaction with Mr. TRS Venkatesen, General Manager of the Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Group—a respected institution from Trichirapalli, Tamil Nadu, with a commendable footprint across education, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, and more. We explored avenues where Odisha’s dynamic industrial and human development landscape can intersect meaningfully with their experience and expertise. I’m encouraged by their keen interest in contributing to our state’s growth story through knowledge partnerships, social impact, and enterprise. Odisha welcomes visionary collaborators who align with our ethos of inclusive and sustainable development. #OdishaForInvestors #IndustrialOdisha #HealthcareForAll #EducationForFuture #DeputyCMKVSinghDeo #DevelopmentDialogues #OdishaGrowthStory #JaiJagannath #JaiBharat

As part of #DevelopmentDialogues, I am organising a dialogue, "Financing development, or deaths and destruction?", on 11 June (2-3pm CEST) I will moderate a candid discussion with @FranceskAlbs, @sinisamilatovic, Anees Ahmed & Anita Thomas Register here: forms.office.com/e/Vvn2EutcN…

Today’s @TardaKE #DevelopmentDialogues reminded us that conversations alone are not enough—we must act with boldness, clarity, and inclusion if we are to truly transform our river basins. I reflected on the immense pressures facing the Tana and Athi River Basins—climate change, deforestation, rapid urbanization, and population growth—all converging on a resource we cannot afford to lose: water. With only 450m³ per person/year available in Kenya, far below the global benchmark of 1,000m³, the need for integrated basin-based planning has never been more urgent. We must perceive water not just as a utility, but as a strategic resource—from source to discharge. The @MOWSI_KE through Eng. Chemeril shared valuable updates on recent reforms, including the Water (Amendment) Act 2024 as well as the National Irrigation Sector Investment Plan (NISIP) which decentralizes oversight and promotes basin-level management. The move towards multi-purpose water storage and micro-irrigation systems speaks directly to the food security and climate resilience agenda we support at TARDA. Oscar Njuguna from @KeEquityBank's insights on climate finance were a sobering reminder that for many community-led solutions to scale, we must structure, de-risk, and attract meaningful investment. Water must be part of a circular economy that funds itself. Mary Mutula from @tuboreshe64776 powerfully spotlighted the gender gap in water governance. Women, though central to water use in households, remain underrepresented in decision-making structures. Her call for gender-responsive technologies, safe water access points, and inclusive water user training is something we must all rally behind. Arnold Kipchumba @arnoldtuei from @MamaDoingGood's energy around youth-led innovation was inspiring. As he rightly put it, “innovation is the greatest strength of the youth.” To build a resilient future, we must intentionally embed young people into our planning, budgeting, and climate action frameworks. We were honoured to have our TARDA Board Director and water engineer, Mr. Robinson Gaita @rkgaita, share his reflections as he emphasized the importance of creating a standing forum to address climate financing, urging sector players to design projects that are bankable to international standards to unlock meaningful funding and scale solutions. From water engineers to grassroots leaders, everyone agreed: we cannot silo development. Our response must be holistic, inclusive, and locally driven. Proud to be part of this crucial conversation—and more so, to be part of the team championing transformative, community-centred action across our river basins. #ClimateAction #WaterSecurity #BasinDevelopment #GenderEquality #YouthInClimate #TARDA #DevelopmentDialogues #KenyaWaterAgenda
