Across many parts of Kenya, land is becoming drier and less productive. Trees have been cut down for firewood, overgrazing has left soils bare, and rainfall is no longer reliable. But farmers in the North Rift are leading a quiet revolution, one that is bringing back trees, restoring degraded land, and improving food security. It’s called Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR).

As part of the ongoing Western Kenya Peace Initiative (WKPI) project, ADS North Rift convened a dynamic multi-stakeholder peace forum in Nandi County, bringing together key players from government, civil society, the security sector, and community-based organizations. The meeting aimed to strengthen partnerships and foster sustainable peace, particularly across border areas that have experienced recurring tensions.
