Through International Union for Conservation of Nature IUCN as the lead partner in the Face For Change Project, we gathered at the Mara Rwua Conference Hall in Mulot for a critical Eco Dialogue focused on a vital cause: the inclusion of women in water governance.

Water management is not just a technical issue; it is a human rights and development imperative. To ensure sustainable management of the Mara Basin, we must center the voices of those most impacted by its resources.

Key objectives of our dialogue today included:

Exploring the lived experiences of women in water governance.
Identifying the structural and social barriers limiting women’s participation in leadership and decision-making.
Assessing the support currently provided by the County Governments of Bomet and Narok through their Gender and Water departments.
Identifying opportunities to strengthen institutional synergy.
Generating concrete recommendations for a policy brief on gender-inclusive water governance.

Our discussions were grounded in key legal and policy frameworks, including the Water Act 2016, the Water Resource Regulations, and our respective County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs).

We are committed to moving beyond dialogue into actionable policy that empowers women as key decision-makers in our water future.

True stewardship is leaving things better than we found them. John did exactly that for our waters, our forests, and our association.

​To everyone who traveled, supported, and stood with us today: thank you for helping us give Mr. John Koech a dignified and honorable send-off.

The Mara River Water Users Association family is mourning the loss of a remarkable leader, mentor, and environmental warrior, the late John Koech.

​John dedicated his life to the noble cause of conservation, fighting tirelessly to safeguard our ecosystem for future generations. His impact on the Mara River Basin is immeasurable, and his absence leaves a void that will be deeply felt by us all.

He was more than just a key figure in our team; he was a fierce protector of our natural world. His unwavering dedication to fighting for the environment, restoring our watersheds, and advocating for sustainable water governance leaves behind an indelible footprint across the Mara River Basin.

​While John has left us, the forests he helped protect, the waters he fought to preserve, and the communities he inspired stand as a living testament to his incredible legacy. His passion will continue to guide our mission.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones during this difficult moment. We will continue to update you on the planning for his sendoff.

As world leaders gather in Évian, France for the 2026 , the spotlight is firmly on global economic order, climate resilience, and sustainable development.
​A proud moment for the continent: Kenya’s President William Samoei Ruto is gracing the occasion as the only invited leader representing broader African interests.
​The message from the Global South is clear: Africa is no longer operating from the margins of global diplomacy. We are a continent of immense potential, clean energy resources, and unmatched human capital. Let's unlock this potential.
