The water supply for the Kenyan capital, Nairobi , depends on the Tana River .
Farmers have cut down forests to grow crops on ever-steeper hillsides, damaging water quality.
Rainstorms are rapidly washing soil into the river, decreasing the farmland’s productivity and clogging water and power generation infrastructure with silt.
The fund has enjoyed some success, but obstacles include building up expert knowledge of nature-based solutions by officials in the water sector.
Ofosu-Amaah said she hopes to see a lot more investment in nature-based approaches in the next five years .
Many officials in the water sector are used to hard engineering solutions to problems like erosion.
Paul Gacheru , species and sites manager at Nature Kenya , said he sees the fund as a complement to work led by the Ministry of Environment , Climate Change & Forestry .
