In light of this, KNCHR and Human Right 2 Water (a Geneva-based non-profit International Organization) have partnered to undertake a project dubbed “Leaving No One Behind - Building policies for vulnerable people into governance frameworks for water and sanitation in Kenya”. The project aims to promote progressive realisation of the rights to water and sanitation through elimination of inequalities in the sector. This report mirrors stakeholder engagements conducted during the situational analysis of Wajir, Marsabit, Garissa counties and contains a legal and policy analysis of the three counties.
