Key Result Areas
Our role advances 29 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) across
12 Key Result Areas (KRAs) and within the frame of 5 Strategic
Thematic Areas (STAs). The 5 Strategic Thematic Areas (STAs)
and 12 Key Result Areas (KRAs) are highlighted below:
STA 1. Practical landscape restoration and land
regeneration at scale on selected community forests, public
lands, and voluntary privately owned lands.
-
KRA #1.1: Landscape restoration at scale by focusing on
afforestation, reforestation and agroforestry management on
forest landscapes and arable lands.
-
KRA #1.2: Coastal wetlands restoration by enhancing blue
carbon sequestration through large-scale mangrove
restoration.
STA #2: Financial and nonfinancial ecosystem-based
incentives for smallholder farmer groups/organizations,
community-based organizations (CBOs), and community-based
cooperative societies as reliable community champions.
-
KRA #2.1: Incentives for Ecosystem Services (IES) by
supporting nine selected climate resilient, low-carbon and
environmentally sustainable agri-food value chains: African
leafy vegetables, indigenous poultry, beekeeping, silkworm,
cricket, mango, cashew, maize, and rice.
-
KRA #2.2: Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) by rewarding
community farmer groups/organizations, community based
organizations and community-based cooperative societies
empowered by KERA and partners to coordinate community-led
management for the restoration and regeneration sites.
-
KRA #2.3: Risk insurance by accompanying rural communities
and indigenous peoples to become more resilient to weather
extremes that could affect community-led landscape
restoration projects, community carbon projects, Prosopis
management projects, and community ecological agricultural
initiatives/projects in the nine selected value chains.
STA #3: Invasive Prosopis species management and control by
restoring and regenerating cleared farmlands and grasslands
while conserving biodiversity and facilitating
Prosopis-based industrial innovation and development.
-
KRA #3.1: Robust biochar and biochar-based biofertilizer
value chain, by gearing towards transforming Prosopis
juliflora from an invasive threat into biochar and
biochar-based biofertilizers for KERA's upcoming
biochar-based landscape restoration, nationwide consumption
and smallholder farmers who transition to organic
fertilizer-based low carbon farming.
-
KRA #3.2: Fully-fledged multi-stakeholder led Ecological
Restoration Team, Community Engagement Team, and Economic
Platform Team, by investing in the three established teams
to continue providing science-based insights, guidance and
initiatives for systemic social, ecological and economic
approaches and outcomes.
STA #4: Public education and advocacy on sustainable
landscape restoration; ethical land-based carbon dioxide
removal (CDR); climate resilient, low-carbon,
environmentally sustainable agri-food value chains; and
sustainable Prosopis management and control.
-
KRA #4.1:Public Education and Advocacy, by increasing
knowledge, awareness and civic engagement empowerment in
regards to sustainable ecosystem and ecological restoration.
-
KRA #4.2: Public Knowledge Sharing, by openly disseminating
information and expertise regarding landscape restoration,
ecological agriculture, land-based carbon storage, Prosopis
juliflora management and control, and local system
strengthening; allowing anyone to access and utilize
knowledge without restrictions.
STA #5: Local Capacity development and technical assistance
to KERA, our indigenous Regional Facilitating Agencies
(RFAs), and collaborating county governments.
-
KRA #5.1: KERA Institutional Capacity Development and
Sustainable Financial Capacity and Partnership Development
-
KRA #5.2: Capacity development and technical assistance to
the nine Regional Facilitating Agencies (RFAs).
-
KRA #5.3: Technical assistance to the in-line county
government departments and county assemblies in
community-led landscape restoration, community-led carbon
removal, Prosopis management and control, and
community-based ecological agriculture for the nine selected
value chains.
Cross-cutting Themes
(i) Gender equality and women empowerment, by enhancing gender
transformative approaches in ecosystem and ecological
restoration.
(ii) Indigenous peoples' biosystems technical knowledge, by
ensuring the preservation of local knowledge and biodiversity
alike.
(iii) Positive Youth Development ( PYD), by optimizing the
involvement of youth and young women in all aspects of our
work, staffing governance and leadership.
(iv) Sustainable Rural Development, by prioritizing
facilitation of rural societal transformative thinking in the
natural resource management sector.
