Kenya is endowed with a wealth of natural resources, whereby, the economy relies heavily on natural resources to support people’s livelihoods and to contribute to national income. However, Kenya’s huge potential for economic growth is threatened by environmental degradation caused by depletion of the natural resources. The project is designed to protect and conserve natural resources and inculcating education for sustainable development in the Country to avert the current situation of natural resources depletion.

The TWT will be mandated to achieve the following actions in the process of implementation;1. Development of pilot schools identification tool ( at the mean time we will just have an overview of dividing the Country into ten regions, identify two or three counties in each region then identify two or three schools in each county)2. Stakeholders mapping (implementing partners)3. Development of an integrated information system that will be used to monitor the implementation process through an online interface. 4. Baselines assessment to identify each schools current environmental impact 5. Provide themes for each school for ease of demonstration and identification6. Development/identifying each school teams/green club/Green Champions 7. Development of Green Action Plan with the team8. Implementation Process9. Monitoring and Evaluation

The green schools programme is intended to demonstrate the best practices at the lower levels of our institutions in order to link education and environment as pillars of ecosystem management for economic sustainability.The programme will be jointly implemented by the Kenya National Youth Green Growth Secretariat and the state Department of Natural Resources under the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources and Regional Development Authorities. The joint programme will be undertaken through a Technical Working Team (TWT) that will oversee the full implementation of the project time frame. The TWG team is an Multi-sectoral research and training team drawn from the stated institution of both Government, Private Sector and Civil Society to enhance the successful implementation of the project. The technical working group will be the overall arm of the project coordinated by the Conservation Director. The TWG will be reporting to the Principal Secretary, the state department of Natural resources.
