A new Participatory Forest Management Plan launched in Mumoni and Mutitu forests in Kitui.[File, Standard]
Communities living around Mumoni and Mutitu forests in Kitui will now take a formal role in protecting and managing the two critical dryland ecosystems following the launch of a new Participatory Forest Management Plan.
The five-year road map, covering 2026 to 2031, brings Muumoni and Mutitu Community Forest Associations (CFAs) and grassroots Site Support Groups (SSGs) into structured collaboration with the Kenya Forest Service (KFS).
Under the arrangement, local groups will work alongside KFS rangers to patrol forest boundaries, manage designated resource zones and regulate access to forest resources.
