CIFOR-ICRAF in Kenya: An evolving collaboration

For over 45 years, ICRAF, CIFOR and CIFOR-ICRAF have supported Kenya’s efforts to increase food security, improve livelihoods, forest management and climate resilience for smallholders and communities across the country. With one of its two headquarters in Nairobi, a dedicated Kenya Country Office, and people on the ground in over 35 counties CIFOR-ICRAF has built diverse partnerships across government ministries and agencies, county governments, academia, research institutions, development partners, donors, civil society organizations and farming communities.
This brief details the results of nearly five decades of collaboration, including key contributions to policy development, strengthening training and capacity, and the establishment of research stations and programmes to address critical issues facing Kenyans, such as fodder and fuelwood shortages, low productivity, erosion, and narrow tree species diversity. It also highlights opportunities for CIFOR- ICRAF to contribute to Kenya’s development goals as it continues to generate new evidence and insights to realize the country’s potential for developing a resilient green economy.
