ROAD MAp TO A gOOD pOLICY

Article 69 in the Constitution of Kenya 2010 states the obligations in respect of

the environment, particularly on attaining at least 10% tree cover. It further goes and provides for public participation in management, protection and conservation of the environment, which starts from participation in formulation of laws and policies. It is in the same spirit that Kenya Forests Working Group (KFWG) organized dialogue meetings with various regional stakeholders in Kakamega, Kisumu, Bomet, Mombasa, Naivasha and Thika with an aim of gathering views and inputs on the National Forests Conservation and Management Bill 2013. The National Association of Community Forest Associations (NACOFA) made a very insightful presentation which drew a lot from the Government validation meeting held in Naivasha from 17th to 20th June 2013. Comparisons between the Forests Bill 2013 and the Forests Act 2005 were highlighted with the following proposals made in the bill;

• DevolutionofpowerstoForestConservation Committees (FCCs) and Community Forest Association ( CFAs);

• IntroductionofStrategicEnvironmentAssessment(SEA)inthe process of degazettement;

• ProvisionfordevelopmentofParticipatoryForestManagement(PFM)tools;

• Provisionforsubsidiarylegislativedevelopment to enable sustainable charcoal production;

• Establishmentandmaintenanceofa chain-of-custody to ensure forest products are distributed, tracked and monitored from their origin in the forest to their end use.

At these meetings, issues arising from

the Forest Bill were raised. It was proposed that the concession period be reduced to less than 30 years, penalties should include a minimum andmaximumfigure,definetimeframes within which subsidiary legislations provided for in the Bill should be developed, provide for synergy between Kenya Forest Service(KFS)andKenyaForestryResearch Institute (KEFRI) as well as between County Forest Conservation Committees (CFCC) and Forest Conservation Committees (FCC).Administration and implementation

of the National Forests Conservation and Management Bill is also critical in ensuring proper execution of its provisions.Devolutionwasaconcern raised with regard to KenyaForestServicedevolvingits key functions to the County levels considering the change of the governance system in

the country and likely management challenges at the county level. Community representation in committees established under the bill is another concern as this was felt to be inadequate.

Nevertheless, the new provisions in the Bill that were not there in the Forests Act 2005 and the proposed changes will further strengthen forest management in the country and the on-going forestry sector reform.

This initiative was supported by Nature Kenya and WWF- Eastern and SouthernAfricaOffice.

On the 17thSeptember2013, the Kenya Wetlands Forum and Kenya Wildlife

Conservation Forum members embarkedonafactfindingmissiontoOndiriSwampinKikuyuDivision,Kiambu County. The main reason for this mission being to verify claims thatNairobi’sSouthernBypasshasencroached on the swamp.

JulytoSeptember2013isaperiodwhen there was heightened activity fortheSamburuCountyNaturalResourcesForum(SACONARF)asthey stepped forward to share their views on the County they envision withtheSamburuCountyIntegratedDevelopmentPlan(CIDP)draftingcommittee.

The Constitution of Kenya 2010 requires the development of counties tobeguidedbytheCIDPs.Further,theConstitution requires that, legislation and policy formulation taking place at either National or County level, receives adequate public participation to legitimatize such governance tools. Given this scenario, the public on the other hand have a duty to take their rightful space in self-governance matters.SACONARFunderstandsthis only too well. They believe that therecannotbeabetterSamburuifnatural resources concerns are not

adequately mainstreamed into county planning. They drafted a three-page memo clearly demonstrating how the challenges faced by the natural resource sector in their County could be addressed. In their memo onCIDPtheyhadthefollowingrecommendations to the drafting committee:

1) Natural resources inventory and survey including wildlife should be carried out, so as to establish the status

2) Establish community conservancies and strengthen existing ones

3) The county government to strengthen community based conservation by supporting rangers’recruitmentandtrainingswithin conservancies

4) Community should be made aware about the status of wildlife and natural resources in general

including the endangered and threatened species in the county

5) Community land ownership and issuance of title deed to group ranches should be fast-tracked tounlockthecounty’stourismpotential

6) Countyspecificlegislationandby-laws should be developed and implemented

7) Developcountytourismbusiness plan to avoid a repeat of overcrowded situations like in SamburuNationalReserveandincreaseconservationbenefitstothe community

8) Establish effective management regimes to mitigate negative effects posed by big projects like LamuSouthernSudanEthiopiaTransport(LAPSSET)corridor

9) To institute improved protection and reforestation particularly of degraded forests like Kirisia and others in the county

Communities living in Madunguni forest went to court accusing the Kenya

ForestService(KFS)ofevictingthemfrom their ancestral land. The case wasfiledattheMombasalawcourtin 2007 and since then, no verdict has been passed. A temporary order was issued advising the community and KFStomaintainstatus quo. Madunguni Forest is located 16 Km west of Malindi town in Madunguni sub-location,GoshiLocation,KilifiCounty and occupies a total area of 951.85 hectares. This forest forms part of the larger Jilore Forest block and is under the management of theforesterinJiloreForestStation.The forest was previously under the management of the Municipal Council of Malindi, before being taken overbytheKFSthroughagazette(legal) notice No. 109, of 23rd August 2004. By the time the forest was gazetted, people had encroached

onto the forest and over time, this is continuing.

To promote the value of forests, Kenya Forests Working Group (KFWG)

in partnership with Kenya ForestService(KFS)andEburruCommunity Forest Association (ECOFA) is planning to plant 75,000 indigenous trees in Eburru Forest through the Green Ribbon Project.Thisisacriticalwatercatchment area, with Eburru Forest Reserve being one of the 22 forest blocks constituting Mau Forest Complex. The reserve is an indigenous gazetted forest measuring 8,715.3 hectares and locatedinNakuruDistrict,RiftValley province of Kenya.

The planned tree planting program aims at rehabilitating 75 hectares of the forest as an effective way of adapting and mitigating climate change impacts in Kenya and to achieve the minimum 10% forest cover target as per the Constitution of Kenya, 2012 as well as promote nature based activities in the forest. To encourage joint planning and coordination of actors within Eburru ecosystem, KFWG through the tupande

pamoja initiative has partnered with others stakeholders working within Eburru forest ecosystem. The focus of the partnership is to develop collaborative mechanisms of rehabilitating the forest by enhancing participatory forest management, strengthening institutions, promote community livelihood activities and establish a platform for information sharing.

On the other hand, corporates are also brought on board through the initiative as they get an opportunity to interact freely with local people by planting a variety of indigenous seedlings in degraded forest sites.

A number of partners including Unilever and NIC Bank will be joining residents of Kinale, Raggia, KereitaandUplandforestinLariDistrictofKiambuCounty(partoftheSouthernArberdareForests)inplanting more than 30,000 seedlings inthedegradedsitesoftheSouthernAberdare forests. A key species that is being promoted during the tree planting activities is bamboo due to its remarkable growth and high survival rate in the target areas.

By Leah Gichuki - KFWG and David Kuria -Tupande Pamoja

TheSouthernAberdareForests,over a few decades ago faced intense degradation resulting from illegal human activities mainly timber harvesting and charcoal burning. Thankfully, the effortbyKenyaForestServicesinpartnership with communities has seen drastic reduction of illegal human activities in a number of these forests. The Forest Act 2005 encourages local communities to partner with Kenya Forest Servicetoconserveandmanagelocal forests. This concept of partnership is working well in some areas and has led to a number of forests being secured.
