Networking & Coordination

A strong, united voice for Kenya’s conservancies

KWCA connects hundreds of conservancies, amplifies their priorities and represents their collective vision at every level — strengthening collaboration across landscapes and building unity among conservancies, counties and partners.

Our Approach

How we coordinate the network

Our coordination strengthens collaboration, ensures shared learning and builds a shared identity connecting conservancies from the coast to the rangelands.

Bringing conservancies together

Through the National Conservancies Council, Landscape CEOs Forum and National Managers & Women’s Forums, we foster peer learning, mentorship and policy engagement across Kenya’s diverse landscapes.

Representing the network

From national policy consultations to the Africa Protected Areas Congress and global COP and CBD forums, we ensure Kenya’s model of locally-led conservation is recognised as a global benchmark.

Driving collective impact

We align priorities, resources and messaging across the 12 Landscape Conservancy Associations so Kenya’s conservancies speak with one strong, united voice.

“Community conservancies in Kenya are proving that local leadership delivers results for both people and nature — and KWCA is the backbone of that success.”
