Kenya celebrated the National Tree Planting Day on November 13, 2023, strategically choosing the rainy season for optimal tree growth. This event showcased Kenyan patriotism in addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

A notable aspect of this initiative was the incorporation of technology, particularly the JazaMiti App, a directive from the president and a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change & Forest ICT (MoE, CC& ICT). The app, available on both IOS and Google Play Store, facilitates tracking of planted trees and ensures the selection of suitable tree species for specific planting sites.
