The Restoration Initiative (TRI) in Kenya arid and semi-arid lands region has assisted in strengthening policies and regulatory frameworks in support of forest and landscape restoration (FLR) in Kenya. One key product has been the Forest and Landscape Restoration Implementation Action Plan (FOLAREP), a national FLR strategy that includes a roadmap and monitoring framework to bridge existing gaps in FLR policy. The project has also contributed to the integration of relevant FLR and national natural resource management policies at the county and local levels by contributing to the elaboration of various county policies, including County Environment Action Plans and a Policy Influence Plan of FOLAREP. Additionally, TRI has elaborated a national strategy and action plan for sustainable commercialization of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) and services as well as Forest (Equitable Benefit Sharing) Regulations.

TRI is a GEF-funded project
