Abstract/ Overview
The Kenya Strategic Investment Framework on sustainable land management (KSIF) provides a strategy for enhancing investments, interventions and actions for the management of the country’s natural capital in a sustainable manner. Sustainable land management (SLM) is defined as “the adoption of land use systems that, through appropriate management practices, enables land users to maximize the economic and social benefits from the land while maintaining or enhancing the ecological support functions of the land resources”. The need for a Country Strategic Investment Framework (CSIF) on SLM for Kenya is in line with the Government’s commitment to support the sustainable utilization and management of the country’s natural resources for improving socio-economic development and livelihoods of its people now and for future generations. This concept is well espoused in the Constitution of Kenya, Section 60, which stipulates that; “Land in Kenya shall be held, used and managed in a manner that is equitable, efficient, productive and sustainable”, as well as under Section 69, in which the Government commits to “ensure sustainable exploitation, utilization, management and conservation of the environment and natural resources, and ensure the equitable sharing of the accruing benefits”. This promise is underpinned in the Kenya Vision 2030,which under section 4.6 envisions “a people living in a clean, secure and sustainable environment” and further proposes; sustainable management of natural resources, conservation and combating environmental degradation as actions towards fulfilling the Social Pillar.
