Our 5 Objectives

The Conservancy cooperatively develops locally-led governance structures that complement traditional, and indigenous systems by running peace and security programmes, taking the lead in natural environment management, and managing sustainable businesses linked to conservation

1. Governance

Governance

The Conservancy observes due diligence on its policies. The community is actively engaged in a participatory approach to seeking consent, agreeing on priorities, being sensitized, and getting informed of necessary updates. This is mainly conducted at zonal/village levels or the AGM.

AGM is held every year with pre-AGMs held 2 weeks before in every zone to orient and distribute reports to members. Board members serve for 3 yrs term and can extend for a second and final term if they are lucky to be re-elected from their settlement zone.

2. Peace & Security

The Conservancy is engaging peace stakeholders on regular peacebuilding activities with neighbouring communities, the rangers' stolen stock recovery rate is over 70% and they are returned to rightful owners. Constant morans engagement is undertaken to harmonize sharing resources with the neighbours and seek consent to forage across the boundaries.

3. Livelihoods & Business

Through partners, the Conservancy pursues avenues of expanding and enhancing sustainable business opportunities for the locals. Over 300 Kalama women are subscribed to Northern Rangelands Trading - Trading (NRT-T) BeadWORK earning a decent living, youths are provided with motorcycles for the taxi business, and the livestock market is made available. Women and youth join SACCO to make savings and access credit for development. This has boosted household income

5. Wildlife Conservation

Much effort is put into community conservation awareness for behavioral change towards the appreciation of wildlife as a gainful resource and respect for nature. The effort also leads to the identification of Kalama Conservancy as a Grevy’s Zebra range and wildlife dispersal area from Samburu National Reserve.
