Multipurpose trees in Lower Nyando

CCAFS East African regional program selects six sites to test interventions that address risks related to climate change and variability. Featured here is the Lower Nyando

 

Agro-forestry, land and water management are among

the mitigation interventions employed to reduce

greenhouse gas emissions in Nyando basin. So far, 22 tree nurseries, some

owned by self-help groups (more than half of all the nurseries are female-owned). More than 50,000

high-quality tree seedlings have been produced, each

worth KSh10-20. About 23,500 multipurpose trees

have been planted in homesteads with a 75 per cent

survival rate and the local community is establishing

a two acre demonstration woodlot.
