Taita Taveta County Government has formulated a policy that will ensure residents bordering forests benefit from forest resources in their areas of jurisdiction.
This, according to the policy, will enhance community ownership to reduce forest-related conflicts.
Yesterday, members of the county assembly (MCAs) adopted the County Forests Conservation and Management Policy, 2025 and once operationalised by the executive, will create a county forest conservation fund and develop benefit-sharing regulations for the benefit of communities living around forests.
