UNESCO has successfully concluded a one-year project aimed at bolstering flood resilience in Kenya's vulnerable Tana River Basin. The initiative, launched after the devastating May 2024 floods, developed crucial systems for early warning and data management.

• The project established a Flood Early Warning System (FEWS) integrated with a Data Integration and Analysis System (DIAS).
• Key organizations involved include UNESCO, funded by the Government of Japan, with technical support from the University of Tokyo.
• Notable achievements include the deployment of IoT-based monitoring systems and the mapping of aquifer recharge zones to enhance long-term water security.
