Kenya and Tanzania are collaborating on preparedness measures for the upcoming El Niño rains, focusing on shared water resources like the Mara River and working with regional bodies such as the East African Community and Lake Victoria Basin Commission. Efforts include real-time water monitoring, desilting dams, disaster operation planning, and public awareness campaigns, although there is criticism about insufficient on-the-ground action.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must treat El Niño as a cross-border emergency with Kenya and Tanzania setting new standards in river and dam management together. Now is the time to align your water and disaster risk plans with regional monitoring systems or face being caught unprepared.
