About Us
Mission
To enhance the collective voice of Baringo conservancies through advocacy, capacity building, networking and collaboration for the social economic and environmental development of people living in Baringo.
Vision
County Based Regional association Championing for Conservation of Habitats & Wildlife.
Membership
The membership of BCCA has grown to the current 16 conservancies covering diverse landscapes. The conservancies are spread within the three landscapes. The Lake System conservancies, comprise Lake Baringo and Lake Bogoria. Kamnarok landscapes are Ruko, Kaptuya, Kabarion, Ngenyin, and Sinibo. Lastly, there are the Lake Bogoria landscape conservancies which are Irong, Chuine, Kiborgoch, Koibos, Tuiyarus, and Mangar.
Natural Resources: Rangelands, Wildlife & Mineral Resources
Conservancies in Baringo are intended to promote healthy ecosystems that support wildlife, livestock and human needs, including improvement of the conditions of degraded areas by putting in place appropriate mitigation and rehabilitation strategies which ensure regeneration and healing of degraded areas.
Governance
BCCA is governed by 13 members being elected representatives of conservancies equally drawn from the three landscapes. Under a new governance structure that seeks to improve the capacity of BCCA, the management committee (board) will be led by an independent skilled chair, responsible to drive strategic development of the association.
Livelihoods and Enterprise Development
The potential of growing compatible sustainable livelihoods in community conservancies is huge, since each conservancy has its own unique products, physical attractions and niche. However, the conservancies are under developed with limited exploitation of these existing opportunities.
