The changes in water resources
availability (rainfall – evap.) are
unevenly distributed. The westernpart of Kenya is expected to be morewetted, while the eastern part isanticipated to be drier.

Japan’s Commitment in the TICAD IV (2008)
Commitment for the Water Sector
1. Development of water facilities to provide safe
drinking water to 6.5 million people for 5 years
2. Capacity building of 5,000 water managers/users for
5 years
Achievements as of March 2012
1. More than 9.8 million people have got access to safe
drinking water
2. More than 12,000 water managers/users have beentrained
