Description

With this project AICS intends to contribute to the Tree Growing Fund through financial support to the National Environmental Trust Fund (NETFUND), the financial agency of the Ministry of the Environment and Forests, with the aim of accelerating the achievement of 10% national forest cover in Kenya, and to promote strategies capable of responding adequately to climate change. The initiative will target the Cherangany water tower, one of the five forest ecosystems of strategic importance for Kenya, where environmental restoration and forest protection activities will be implemented, thus contributing to Kenya's "National Determined Contribution (NDC)" and to the implementation plans of the green agenda. The project will benefit two counties, West Pokot and Elgeyo - Marakwet, as well as those bordering the ecosystems concerned. The initiative proposes to implement activities for i) strengthening forest governance, ii) improving the production capacity of certified and quality seedlings; iii) piloting and dissemination of appropriate technologies for tree cultivation and environmental recovery; and iv) raising awareness and mobilizing communities and the private sector to ensure their active participation in forest management. Forest governance structures will be strengthened to increase the capacities of national and county agencies to intervene in the protection and management of forest resources. These actions will favor the sustainable management of natural resources with an increase in tree cover, the restoration of degraded areas, and consequently a reduction in CO2 emissions. The project involves a partnership with the Kenya Women Microfinance Bank PLC (KWFT), a microfinance bank regulated by the Central Bank of Kenya, with a mandate to reach out to unbanked women in society by giving them the opportunity to gain financial access. read more close
