AFAS Phase 2 Workshop, Prof. Sheila Okoth delivered @uonbi 's remarks for the Dean @UONFST , Ag. DVC HRA & @UoNDVCRIE . Their message: NbS must work, last & be shared equitably; build capacity beyond projects; bridge science, policy & practice. #NbS #AFAS @afas_cc @DAAD_Kenya

Takeaway 2: Equity comes first. Benefit-sharing, transparent trade-offs and the participation of Indigenous Peoples and local knowledge holders must be built in from day one. #AFAS #NatureBasedSolutions @afas_cc

Takeaway 1: #Naturebasedsolutions are not automatically successful. Restoring a forest or protecting a watershed only counts if it works, lasts and is shared equitably. #AFAS #NbS @afas_cc @DAAD_Kenya @UONFST
An intervention that improves an ecosystem while restricting community access to essential resources is not a true solution.” Equity has to be built in from day one. #AFAS #naturebasedsolutions #ClimateAction @DAAD_Kenya @afas_cc

AFAS Phase 2 is open. Today @uonbi and its partners started five more years (2026–2030) of research on nature-based solutions that work for both people and nature in African savannas. #AFAS #NatureBasedSolutions @afas_cc @DAAD_Kenya

A conversation at the African School of Physics led @uonbi PhD student Gloria to a 6-month internship at Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA. Her #UoNResearchWeek story is a reminder that pursuing an opportunity can change the course of a research career.
The University of Nairobi will host the 14th International #LeadPoisoning Prevention Week on 23 Oct at Chiromo Campus. The event will bring together government agencies, researchers & public health stakeholders to address lead exposure in Kenya
