Kenya Launches Agroforestry Strategy and Mau Forest Restoration Drive - September 2025

Kenya has launched the National Agroforestry Strategy (2025–2035) and the Kenya Landscape and Ecosystem Restoration Monitoring Framework (FLRMF) to accelerate ecosystem restoration and promote agroforestry. These strategies aim to bolster climate resilience and sustainable land management. As part of these efforts, Kenya is also launching a 10-year plan to restore the Mau Forest Complex, its largest water tower, beginning with the planting of 4 million tree seedlings in the first phase. In a related development, the annual Africa Regional Centres of Excellence (ArcX) Forum in Nairobi, an EU–Africa partnership initiative, stressed the critical role of science, technology, and innovation in accelerating Africa's green transition and sustainable development.
