Preface The Government of Kenya established the Water Resources Management Authority (WRMA), through the sector reform brought by Water Act 2002. WRMA is the lead agency in the management of water resources in the country through six (6) regional offices and twenty six (26) sub – regional offices ofthe respective water resources catchment areas. Since its operationalization in 2005, WRMA has made significant progress in making water resources recognized as being fundamental for socio-economic and environmental sustainability. In this regard, integrated floods management is viewed as necessary component in water resources management. Based on the request from GOK, JICA carried out the “Study on the Integrated Flood Management (IFM) for Nyando River Basin (2006 – 2009)” as the Technical Cooperation Scheme and “Programme for Community based Flood Disaster Management to Adapt to Climate Change in the Nyando River Basin (2009-2011)”. This was a Grant Aid Programme with the aim of establishing a flood management system in the southern part or Lake Victoria Basin through IFM, where WRMA was the implementing agency. Through the above projects, community based flood management activities have been implemented through integrating non- structural and structural measures such as community based flood hazard mapping and construction of flood counter measure structures in prioritized flood prone areas. Based on the achievement of Nyando project, the Project on Capacity Development for Effective Flood Management was formulated to expand IFM in other flood prone areas in Kenya. Three pilot river basins were selected namely: Isiolo, Gucha-Migori and Lumi to promote community based flood management activities. The main purpose of the project was to build institutional framework of flood management in the context of integrated water resource management for effective and sustainable implementation of community based activities. Through the project WRMA has developed strategies and guidelines in managing floods which have since been incorporated in th
