Baringo County Conservancies Association (BCCA) Strategic Plan 2026–2030

In the 2026–2030 strategic period, the Baringo County Conservancies Association (BCCA) will reposition itself as a Baringo county-wide landscape coordination and delivery platform for Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM). This strategic shift will align BCCA’s mandate, operational footprint, and institutional capacity with emerging national and global conservation, climate, and development priorities. The Association has expanded its landscape and operational scope to encompass the full Baringo ecosystem. This includes conservancies, community and gazetted forests, water catchments, wildlife corridors, productive rangelands, and ecologically critical but under-protected areas such as Lake Baringo. By developing and operationalizing a county-wide ecosystem and landscape framework, BCCA will provide the spatial and programmatic coherence required to deliver measurable ecosystem-level outcomes.

The Baringo County Conservancies Association (BCCA) Strategic Plan 2026–2030 marks a defining milestone in our institutional journey. From its beginnings in 2017 as a collective voice for emerging conservancies, BCCA has grown into a credible, county-wide platform for landscape governance, partnership, and innovation in Baringo County. This strategy reflects both our growth and our responsibility. Baringo County’s rangelands, forests, wetlands, freshwater ecosystems, wildlife corridors, and globally significant geological heritage form one of Kenya’s most important ecological landscapes. Yet these assets face increasing pressure from climate change, land fragmentation, biodiversity loss, invasive species, insecure tenure, and persistent socio-economic challenges affecting pastoral and rural communities.
