Part of a longer process…..
Response to long term and emerging needs
Part of a longer process…..
Response to long term and emerging needs
Long term vision (in line with Vision 2030) with clear priorities and action plans for 5 years
As identified in the scoping study….
Set national targets and indicators for viable and sustainable wildlife and habitat conservation over the coming decades;
Secure wildlife habitats, dispersal areas and corridors and promote evidence-based integrated planning
Stop poaching and illegal wildlife trade, and strengthen inter-agency collaboration in dealing with illegal wildlife trade;
Address strategies to avoid and mitigate Human Wildlife Conflict
Establish and implement national long-term wildlife conservation and management funding and monitoring and reporting system;
Strengthen cooperative management of wildlife resources by the national and county governments, communities, individual landowners and other stakeholders.
How does the Strategy fit in with the Act 2013, the ongoing policy process (draft) and the regulations, etc?
Scoping study was conducted in 2016 to outline the process…
Or display this as a timeline…..
Original policy process in 1976?
Restarted in mid 1990s
Lead to 2013 Act
Finalizing policy now
Act lead to regulations and STRATEGY
Strategy to provide a framework for implementing the act and coordinating and directing priority interventions for wildlife conservation
These processes are linked and self-reinforcing – e.g. STRATEGY helps to inform the implementation, revision, and development of other components of the policy architecture
The NSC will comprise of about 20 people from a cross section of relevant government ministries. It will provide policy direction and general oversight and ensure strategy is well embedded in government structures. TOR’s for this team are in the Annex
The Synthesis team is the core team co-ordinating the strategy development process, synthesizing all information and public participation. TOR’s for this team are in the Annex
The Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources is providing overall stewardship to the process.
US Dept of the Interior (DOI) Financing the Project as per agreement signed on 7th March 2017 and is providing technical and financial cooperation
National Steering Committee (NSC) - from a cross section of relevant government ministries/sectors
Synthesis team (ST) – core technical team co-ordinating the strategy development process, synthesizing all information and public participation.
African Conservation Centre (ACC) providing technical and administrative services needed for the activities outlined.
Extensive review of existing strategies and related documents pertaining to the current policy and legal frameworks
Documentation of best practice both from Kenya and internationally
Focused group discussions
Technical input from experts
Key stakeholders consultations and feedback
Regional stakeholder engagement –clusters as follows:
North Eastern, Mountain, Central and Rift, Nyanza and Western, Southern and Lower Eastern
North Eastern and Coast
Public fora – Grassroot level meetings for Communities, landowners, youth and women in key wildlife areas
Technical input from experts-conservation actors, species specialist groups…
Cross-sector engagement: sectors who traditionally are not engaged in contributing directly to effective conservation measures: Academia, Treasury, private sector, energy, infrastructure…
Input from youth – Engaging the next generation
Written communication – From the public and interested stakeholders
Change this to circles…..
Goals represent priority areas of intervention - guiding government policy, providing a framework for collaboration to direct efforts and ensure coordination for enhanced impact...
Each goal identifies se set of initial strategies and actions that should be taken or initiated over the next 5 years (2018-2022). Actions under various individual goals are interrelated and interdependent. To the extent possible, actions within goals are listed in sequential order but goals are not.
