Project Description

TUMAI MAJI (Transforming Utilities and Mobilising Action for Investment in ASAL Water Security) is a five-year (2027-2031), Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands-funded programme that tackles water insecurity in Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) as a governance and systems challenge. Working across the Rift Valley Basin (Turkana and West Pokot) and the Ewaso Ng’iro North Basin (Samburu, Marsabit and Laikipia), the programme strengthens four interlinked systems: basin and water resource management (System A), water and sanitation services (System B), institutions and governance (System C), and finance and investment (System D). At its core is a Living Lab, where stakeholders test and refine solutions before scaling them. The programme promotes market-led change through improved utility performance, delegated management models, public-private partnerships, women- and youth-led enterprises, and an Innovation Challenge Fund, with gender equality and social inclusion, youth employment, climate resilience and conflict sensitivity embedded throughout. TUMAI MAJI is implemented as a consortium by SNV (System C and D lead), Rural Water Management Solutions (RWMS – System B lead) Kenya and IHE Delft Institute for Water Education (System A lead), and is delivered with implementing partners alongside capacity-strengthening partners and the five county governments.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
