PS Public Service and Human Capital Development Dr. Jane Kere Imbunya joined H.E. President William Samoei Ruto, and other leaders in Elgeyo Marakwet County, for the 9th edition of the Kaptagat Restoration Programme, also known as the Kaptagat Integrated Conservation Programme.

Since its launch in 2017, this flagship initiative aims to restore the degraded Kaptagat forest ecosystem across Uasin Gishu and Elgeyo Marakwet counties. 

The Kaptagat Integrated Conservation and Livelihoods Programme aligns with Kenya's national climate goals, supporting the ambitious target of growing 15 billion trees by 2032 and increasing forest cover to 30%.
