Policy & Practice

OVERVIEW

ACC is prioritizing its actual hands-on experience with pillars of Science and Research and Communities and Conservation to bring to bear a wide array of knowledge targeting policy and conservation actors that are integrated and synthesized into planning frameworks and decision making processes with priority given to inter-sectoral government planning processes and dialogues. These frameworks and processes are also made available to a broader audience, including communities, other NGOs, universities, etc., and they are used for increased engagement and co-creation of new knowledge.

NATIONAL WILDLIFE STRATEGY 2030

A roadmap for transforming wildlife conservation in Kenya.

The National Wildlife Strategy 2030 aligns to Kenya's Vision 2030 and the Government's Big Four Agenda. It identifies a clear set of five (5) year priority goals and strategies around four key pillars: Resilient Ecosystems; Engagement by all Kenyans, Evidence Based Decision Making and Sustainability and Governance. In Addition to these targets, the strategy establishes an implementation framework to enhance communication, coordination and collaboration to inspire engagement and participation, and catalyse conservation actions with all stakeholders.


The African Conservation Centre was the co-ordinator of the strategy formulation process under the guidance of the Ministry. The National Wildlife Strategy 2030 was launched on June 12, 2018 by the Deputy President.
