Empowering Eco-Enterprises through Marketing, Communication and Branding!

From 14th to 18th September, the Small Grants Programme (SGP) GEF UNDP brought together 30 grantees from Isiolo, Samburu, Kwale and Baringo for a five-day classroom training on Marketing, Communication and Branding for Eco-Enterprises at ACK Bethel Resort in Machakos.

The training brought together community conservancy members, enterprise groups and representatives of strategic partners from Mid-P, CANCO, PACIDA, FSK, and the Baringo County Conservancies Association (BCCA), which served as the capacity-building partner.

The sessions focused on strengthening practical enterprise and business management skills, with participants exploring cash inflows and outflows, record keeping, profit margins, budgeting, investment channels, marketing, branding and digital footprints. The training combined classroom learning with interactive demonstrations and practical exercises, including a simulation of a real-life market environment.

Facilitated by two experienced consultants, the training also benefited from insights shared by partners from the County Government’s Department of Trade and Cooperatives, enriching the learning experience with practical perspectives on enterprise development and market opportunities and linkages.

Through the practical sessions, participants gained a stronger understanding of how effective financial management, branding, communication and marketing can contribute to the growth and sustainability of their eco-enterprises. The real-life market simulation provided an opportunity for participants to put their learning into practice and explore ways of better positioning their products and services in competitive markets.

By strengthening the capacity of community-led enterprises, the initiative contributes to stronger livelihoods, enhanced local economic opportunities and conservation through sustainable, nature-based enterprises.

It's been five days, walking through a landscape that marks the Earth's History of the Great Rift Valley millions of years ago.
From 24th to 28th August, BCCA had the privilege of joining the UNESCO Evaluation Mission for the Baringo Great Rift Valley aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark. We joined partners and communities in sharing the story of a landscape where geology, paleontology, culture and nature heritage meet.
BCCA coins Geopark and Conservancy concepts together as models to conserve and protect heritage for prosperity and posterity with communities at the heart as both custodians and beneficiaries of geosites and conservancies.
For us, the journey is not only about seeking global recognition, its about strengthening our approach in in-situ conservation, knowledge advancement as well as branding Baringo as a destination for adventure tourism and sports, a hub for Geo- products, partnerships and networks, living laboratory for research, diverse culture and origin of mankind.
The next phase is very important for Baringo, Kenya and the Globe. The GEF Small Grants Programme in Kenya Kenya Wildlife Conservancies Association

CELEBRATING WORLD PRIMATE DAY AT MANGAR CONSERVANCY!

Yesterday, BCCA joined Mangar Conservancy, one of our member conservancies, to celebrate World Primate Day and mark an important milestone in raising awareness on environmental conservation and wildlife protection.

Mangar Conservancy is home to the Red Patas monkey, making it an important site for protecting natural habitats and ensuring these unique primates continue to thrive.

The celebrations brought together CEC Reuben Ruto, representatives from the Kenya Primate Research Institute, Members of County Assembly, primary school pupils from around the conservancy, and members of the local community.

Beyond wildlife conservation, the event provided an opportunity to showcase the rich cultural heritage of the people of Mangar and surrounding communities. The vibrant display of traditional culture, storytelling, community participation and local identity added colour and meaning to the celebrations, reminding us that conservation is deeply connected to the people who call this landscape home.

Through culture, storytelling and community engagement, the event celebrated the living heritage passed down from one generation to another and demonstrated how local knowledge, traditions and pride in place can play an important role in protecting nature.

The gathering also gave young people an opportunity to learn that our wildlife, environment and cultural heritage are all part of one precious heritage that we have a responsibility to protect and pass on to future generations.

When we protect nature, we protect our wildlife, our culture, our communities and our future.

Building on this year’s World Ranger Day theme, “Rangers: Guardians of a Changing Planet,” 25 rangers from 15 Baringo conservancies came together yesterday at KEFRI Marigat for a practical training to strengthen their skills in conservation and field operations.
The training covered key areas including:
> Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
> Ranger discipline and professionalism
> Effective communication and radio calls
> Wildlife monitoring, leveraging technologies such as EarthRanger
> Data collection and monitoring of restored areas
> Tree nursery management and identification of tree species
Through a combination of classroom learning and practical field sessions, the rangers gained knowledge and skills that they can apply within their respective conservancies.
The training is part of BCCA’s efforts to strengthen the capacity of conservancy rangers to effectively monitor wildlife, collect conservation data, support restoration efforts and enhance conservation activities across Baringo.

A day of reflection, celebrating milestones and shaping the future.

The Baringo County Conservancies Association (BCCA) held its 8th Annual General Meeting (AGM) at Koriema Resort, bringing together 16 conservancies, County Government representatives, partners and stakeholders.

A major highlight was the launch of the 2026–2030 BCCA Strategic Plan, introducing a county-wide Integrated Natural Resource Management (INRM) approach that brings together conservancies, forests, Water Resource Users Associations (WRUAs), Beach Management Units (BMUs), geosites and other community institutions to promote coordinated landscape management, biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

The AGM also celebrated the people and conservancies driving conservation and good governance on the ground, with key highlights including:

✓ Recognition of outstanding conservancies for their conservation efforts and achievements.
✓ Presentation of audited financial statements, reinforcing transparency and accountability.
✓ Amendment and adoption of the BCCA Constitution, strengthening the Association’s governance framework.

The AGM marks another vital step towards prosperous communities and a healthier, more resilient Baringo landscape.
