Kenya Wildlife Working Group (KWWG)
KWWG emerged as an independent programme from the CORE initiative. It now continues to spearhead the wildlife policy and legislation review. This is a pressure group backed by the community and landowners. Working alongside the KWS, KWWG has opened dialogue for the review and amendment of the Wildlife Act and is proposing sustainable use rather than pure conservation. The project is funded by the Department for International Development, DFID, and the Finnish Embassy. This money is used to bring different players to discuss wildlife and thus support wildlife policy review at a national level. Managed by EAWLS, the KWWG has now become registered as an independent Trust.

Creating an Enabling Environment for Alleviating Poverty through Wildlife-based Enterprise
This Finish Embassy funded East African Wildlife Society project, aims to assist in the development of an enabling evidence-led wildlife policy and legislation that promotes effective community based conservation through livelihoods creation in Kenya’s non-protected areas. Running for two years, from Jan 2005 to Dec 2007, objectives of the project are to:
Promote the development of an enabling evidence-led wildlife policy and legislative framework for effective community based conservation and development
Operationalize enabling wildlife policy and legislation in Kenya by building the capacity and assisting producer Community Based Organisations in achieving livelihoods incentives to alleviate poverty and actively husband and conserve the wildlife resource.

Wildlife Legislation Policy Review – Kenya: This national project has ensured the revival of the Wildlife Act and Policy Review process. The amendment bill is currently before Parliament for deliberation. The project has also catalysed and is a part of the Wildlife Development process.
