CCF Julius Kamau and Taita Taveta County Water, Sanitation, Environment, Climate-Change, and Natural Resources CEC Esther Mwang’ombeTAITA, KENYA: The Chief Conservator of Forests Julius Kamau has presided over the Mwambirwa-Mbololo (Mwambo) Participatory Forest Management Plan 2020-2024 and signing of the Mwambirwa-Mbololo Forest Management Agreement held in Tausa, Taita Taveta County. This Participatory Forest Management Plan (PFMP) is unique because of the proximity of the two forests, Mwambirwa and Mbololo. Mbololo Forest is a state-owned government forest under the jurisdiction of KFS and Mwambirwa is a County Government forest but they are both managed under one CFA. “This is a big milestone for KFS and Taita Taveta County Government based on the Forest Management Act 2016. Others who provided support and guidance to this process were, CADEP-SFM, KEFRI, the Taita-Taveta County Government, and the local community.
