Resource Mobilization Strategy for Forest and Landscape Restoration Implementation Plan (FOLAREP) in Taita Taveta County, Kenya 2025–2033

Forest and Landscape Restoration (FLR) is a cornerstone of ecological renewal and climate resilience in Taita Taveta County. The county’s diverse ecosystems from volcanic hilltops to riparian corridors are increasingly threatened by land degradation, deforestation, and climate variability. With only 3.41% forest cover and 6.8% tree cover, Taita Taveta lags behind national averages and faces mounting pressure to restore degraded landscapes, safeguard biodiversity, and secure livelihoods. FLR offers a transformative pathway to reverse environmental decline, enhance ecosystem services, and strengthen community resilience. The Forest and Landscape Restoration Implementation Plan (FOLAREP) 2024–2033 sets an ambitious target to restore 226,420 hectares of degraded land, aligning with Kenya’s commitments under AFR100, the Bonn Challenge, and the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration. To achieve this vision, a robust Resource Mobilization Strategy (RMS) has been developed to secure the estimated KES 30.9 billion (USD 239 million) required for full implementation. This strategy provides a guiding framework to mobilize, manage, and sustain financial, technical, and institutional resources over the next decade.
