“Green Teachers” Benefit from Green Initiative Challenge Capacity Building Exercise

Each of the “Green Teachers” received a technical manual on growing and managing small forests and woodlots exclusively produced for the project.

The GIC is designed as a challenge to participating schools, mainly due to the dry weather conditions in the areas, with prizes awarded based on the highest survival rate of seedlings and use of innovation.

The best performing schools stand to benefit from education scholarships, tours, infrastructural developments, and water tanks and cash awards among others.

The expanded project has added the teachers in the competition, with best performers from the three counties winning great prizes including sponsored trips laptops and cash prizes and a certificate.
