These bylaws were developed through a consultative process involving stakeholders of the Building Drought Resilience (BDR) Project implemented by IUCN with funding from Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC). The goal of the bylaws is to support the sustainable management of land and water resources in the Lower Tana River Catchment through enhanced natural resource governance in order to build resilience of communities to drought. Upon their adoption/endorsement by the County Governments, these bylaws will be implemented through the framework of the Council of Elders.
