CSA provided direct technical assistance to Embobut and Kapyego forest communities to package their ideas on forest conservation into participatory forest management plans. This project was carried out in collaboration with Kenya Forest Service, Nature Kenya and the Elgeyo-Marakwet County.
The Forests Act 2005 requires that all forests in Kenya found on public, private and communal land parcels must have forest management plans. Thus the goal of the management plans is aligned with the Kenya Forest Policy “To enhance the contribution of the forest sector in the provision of economic, social and environmental goods and services”.
