No results found.The ICRAF PRESA project has been operating in Sasumua watershed, northwest of Nairobi since September 2008. Characterised by steep slopes and heavy populations of smallholder farmers, upstream practices have caused sedimentation and pollution into the Sasumua reservoir, supplied by the catchment supplies and operated by the Nairobi City Water and Sewerage Company (NWSC). The potential to use PES to address land degradation issues has been explored by ICRAF and JKUAT (Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology) through its program, Pro-poor Rewards for Environmental Services in Africa (PRESA). -
Book (series)Legal report on the ecosystem approach to fisheries in Kenya
An analysis of the ecosystem approach to fisheries in selected national policy and legal instruments of Kenya
2022Also available in:
No results found.Legislating for the ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) is complex, due to the holistic nature of the EAF involving multiple factors that underpin the social, economic, environmental, and institutional aspects of fisheries sustainability. These factors include ecosystems integration, risks, inter-sectoral collaboration, research, participatory processes, monitoring, control, surveillance, and enforcement, among others. To assess how the EAF is being implemented through national policy and legal frameworks, FAO developed A diagnostic tool for implementing an ecosystem approach to fisheries through national policy and legal frameworks. The present legal report on the EAF used the diagnostic tool to assess the alignment of selected policy and legal instruments of Kenya with the EAF. This assessment analysed the extent to which 82 EAF legal requirements, which are considered the minimum standards in legislating for the EAF, are reflected in Kenya's policies and legislation relevant to the fisheries sector of the country and other relevant sectors (such as environment, wildlife, ecosystems, and maritime affairs). Based on this preliminary diagnosis, gaps were identified in the assessed instruments, and recommendations were made for improving the implementation of the EAF. This report was elaborated following a participatory approach with the involvement of the national competent authorities of Kenya. Drafted in July 2021, the report was submitted to the national authorities of Kenya in November 2021. The Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives, Kenya, endorsed this EAF Legal Report in June 2022.
