Environmental Education and Awareness Initiative (EEIA).
EEAI provides a platform to inform, educate and engage various stakeholders. The goal is to enhance voluntary initiatives and participation in environmental conservation activities by every Kenyan through education and awareness campaigns. This is expected to foster inclusiveness and partnerships in environmental conservation and management. The implementation of EEAI should ensure effective stakeholder involvement and resource mobilization in environmental management. EEAI should aim to; i) Increase environmental awareness and participation in environmental activities ii) Mobilize the general public to get involved in the protection and conservation of the environment and especially catchment conservation. iii) Encourage media to embrace effective, positive and informative environmental coverage in order to enhance awareness and prioritization of the environment. These could be achieved through; • Public awareness campaigns • Outreach and education • Tree planting • Clean-up campaigns • Creating awareness of environmental challenges and solutions • Promotion of best practices • Dissemination of environmental messages through mass and folk media. Involvement of Religious Organizations. Almost all religions in Kenya believe that the Earth is a creation which requires nursing. However, few of these have incorporated environmental planning and conservation in their teachings. These religions could be very effective in spreading environmental information, considering the very large number of followers they have. At present some of these tasks are being handled by other NGOs which seem to have been better equipped, but they have very minimal coverage. On the other hand, the potential held by traditional religions in this regard remains untapped. |
