F.a: Promoting ELUM and Networking for Livelihoods Improvement PELUM – Kenya (Participatory Ecological Land Use Management Kenya) was established in 1995, is the Kenyan branch of the PELUM network operating in East, South and Central Africa, and works towards the strengthening of sustainable agriculture and rights o
f small farmers. PELUM Kenya has currently 44 member organisations and is an active participant in among another Kenya’s biodiversity coalition KBiOC and Kenia’s organic agriculture network (KOA). Internationally PELUM Kenya is especially networked thr
ough the PELUM network, but it is also participating in the African Biodiversity Network. www.pelum.net. PELUM Kenya network has been working out a formula for strengthening members efforts within different regions/zones. At the PELUM Kenya Annual General 
Meeting held in May 2014 it was deliberated and agreed that the network establishes 6 networking zones which were then approved by the AGM (supreme decision making body of the Network).This project aims to improve livelihoods of Small Scale Farmers working
 with member organizations through application of ecological land use management (elum) practices and networking. This will be achieved through strengthening the zonal networking zones already established in the network whose membership is drawn from acros
s the country (Kenya). The main achievements of this support will be;1. Increased participation in ELUM policy development among the 1,600,000 farmers targeted by the MOs within the 6 networking Zones 2. Improved food security at the household and zonal le
vels targeted by the PELUM Kenya network3. Increased information sharing and involvement of the county government leadership in ELUM policy discourse, development, adoption, implementation and enforcement
