The Community Management of Protected Areas Conservation (COMPACT) was an exclusive, two-pronged initiative that addressed environmental concerns and met the needs of local communities simultaneously.
The NCCR North-South Programme was implemented by the Centre for Development and Environment in concert with 8 institutions from Swiss Universities and is in its second phase from July 2005 to June 2009.

and the Role of Development Interventions in East Africa, Eastern and Southern Africa Partnership Programme, BIA Project
The project aimed at mapping wetlands and assessing their socio-economic uses, values and functions, ecosystem services they render and threats to their sustainable management.
Implementation of the approved Transformation Streams (TS) will start beginning of the second quarter of the year. Three of the streams that CETRAD was involved in were approved for implementation as follows
The initial pilot area for the Springs Stewardship will remain the Gambella wetland in the lowlands of the Ngare Mara sub-catchment that drains the western slopes of the Nyambene ranges.
The activities initiated to expand the hydromet monitoring system into the Lewa-Borana landscape courtesy of the CETRAD-LEWA collaboration platform are in progress.
The overall goal of the TNC’s intervention was to evaluate and promote agricultural pathways in Laikipia and Meru Counties/the Upper Ewaso Ng’iro that can contribute to economic development while protecting wildlife and water resources.
This project is funded by the SUDAC Clusters of Cooperation in the Global South (CLOCs) and is implemented by a consortium of research scientists from Centre for Development and Environment (CDE)
