I am an Environment expert based in Kisumu County in Kenya. I have significant experience in integrating NBS into land use planning and have been actively involved in developing NBS within low urban communities working jointly with ICLEI under the Urban Natural Assets-Rivers for life initiative and UNEP Generation Restoration pilot project for cities.
I have significant interest in developing NBS and biodiversity business cases within the county to attract support not only in capital investment but also on a long-term to ensure sustainability.
