A Policy Influencing Plan for the adoption and contextualization of forest and landscape restoration in Kenya
Well formulated policies are sometimes not implemented or their implementation is delayed due to internal and external challenges that may not be inherent in the policy. It is therefore critical that these challenges be identified and addressed. This can be done in a step-wise process through a policy influencing plan (PIP). A PIP seeks to achieve incremental changes in policy stakeholders’ behaviors. A PIP for domestication of the Forest and Landscape Restoration Action Pan (FOLAREP) in Kenya was developed through the support of The Restoration Initiative funded by the Global Environment Facility and is being implemented by FAO and other partners. The PIP with critical intermediate outcomes and general timeframes was developed based on a review of literature and participatory mapping of key policies, laws and strategies. Key consulted stakeholders included policy makers, community members, Civil Society Organizations, and the private sector in Marsabit, Isiolo and Laikipia Counties. It is concluded that internal policy implementation challenges should be addressed through PIP as an enabling foundation for impactful sustainable restoration in order to help Kenya meet the Bonn Challenge and the African Forest Landscape Restoration Initiative commitments . Strengthening of governance systems and structures at county level, capacity building in restoration, bio-entrepreneurship and PIP as well as extensive promotion of bio-enterprises through micro, small and medium sized enterprises are recommended to ensure sustainable restoration.
