COMPACT-Mt. Kenya World Heritage Site-Additional Baseline Data Collection and Consultancy
7 community workshops were organised within the districts in which the WHS boundary falls. The objectives of the workshops were to: inform community members of the COMPACT initiative, discuss the challenges and threats to the mountain forests, and discuss options of community participation in forest management. The participants were largely small-scale farmers, but teachers, elders, micro-entrepeneurs, and youth were also represented.
