Environment and Climate Change Principal Secretary, Dr. Eng. Festus Ngโeno, has held talks with Safaricom PLC on possible areas of collaboration in the implementation of the Mau Forest Complex Integrated Conservation and Livelihood Improvement Programme (MCF-ICLIP).
Dr. Ngโeno, who also serves as the patron of MCF-ICLIP, met Safaricomโs Director of Sustainable Business and Social Impact, Karen Basiye, and her team at his office in Nairobi.
The discussions focused on forging strategic partnerships to support conservation efforts while enhancing community livelihoods within the Mau Forest ecosystem.
The MCF-ICLIP programme, described as a ten-year transformative initiative, is anchored on five core components: Sustainable Landscape Management, Community Livelihood Improvement, Circular Economy Innovations, Environmental Education & Research, and Governance and Resource Mobilisation.
Targeting four key blocks of the Mau Forest ComplexโMolo, Njoro, Kuresoi North, and Kuresoi Southโthe initiative seeks to restore degraded forest landscapes, promote sustainable land use practices, and uplift surrounding communities.
The partnership discussions with Safaricom mark a key step in mobilising resources and expertise to deliver on the programmeโs vision of conserving Kenyaโs largest water tower while improving the quality of life for residents in adjacent areas.
