The Nairobi River Basin Programme (NRBP) was started with the sponsorship of UNEP, inter alia, in 1999 (UNEP 2002). Phase I constituted a situation assessment of water quality, public awareness, community outreach through pilot income generation projects and capacity building. Phase II of the programme (June 2001 - December 2003) was a pilot initiative, focusing on a tributary of the Nairobi River system - the Motoine/Ngong River. It mainly involved pollution monitoring and assessment of 22 km of the Motoine/Ngong river basin upstream, the dam itself and 25 km downstream to the confluence with the Athi River. The phase also put emphasis on community education and information programmes to enable capacity building amongst key grassroots stake holders. Phase III (October 2004 - September 2008 (IUCN Pers. Comm 2005) is a follow up of the first two phases and has 5 results to be implemented.Pages
