Project will serve as a long term protection and sustainable utilization of natural resources which is vital. The project's premise is that better management of natural resources and sustainable land use practices will lead to minimization of conflicts associated with use of natural resources. Trees will provide self-sustainability in tree-products such as food from fruits, fuel wood energy and timber for building, medicine, fodder, honey and opportunity for future income generation. Through the planting of tree seedlings, fruit, oil seeds and carbon trading as a result of the on-farm trees, the group will have a steady source of income that will be used to scale-up the project to the households and schools within Ewaso Narok Sup-catchment.

Reduce the time and houshold budgets used on fule wood collection-the time and the money used to collect fuel wood will be used on other livelihood activities. Generation of carbon credits through on farm tree planting will be traded to generate alternative source of income for the household thus allowing new members to participate in climate change mitigation.

The amin beneficieries of the project are women and youth. With the introduction of energy efficient stoves, the amount of firewood used will decrease significantly allowing women and the youth more time for other activities including income generation. Additionally, energy efficient stoves releases less harmful smoke than traditional firewood stoves which will greatly decrease the harmful effects of the smoke on women and children.

The project will contribute to GEF/SGP/COMPACT and the Government's policy on energy conservation.
