dc.description.abstract | The implementation of the participatory forest management (PFM) starting 2005 was meant to help in forest
management and also assist the forest adjacent communities to benefit from these forest based resources through
agreement with Kenya forest Service (KFS). Analysis of socio-economic reports and associated participatory forest
management plan (PFMPs) undertaken between 2005 and 2013, indicate sizeable income generating projects (IGP)
as part of social function of forest such as recreation have not been realised by community forest association (CFA).
It is notable that several facilitating factors such as proximity to major urban areas and significant tourism circuits,
necessary for development of these sites have had no impact. In some sites development of business plan did not
manage to take IGP to the desired level. This failure leaves the CFA in the same status prior to the implementation
of PFM in spite of huge resources invested in mapping and detailing resources potential. The CFA stakeholder’s
composition, a structural weakness that failures to include more able and literate local stakeholders (business and
professionals) is a major obstacle to enabling exploitation of forest ecosystems potential, thereby remaining
localised and a closed unit. Thus, there is need for paradigm shift in terms CFA empowerment for exploitation of
social functions of forest resources | en_US |
