With the new funding available through the Climate Promise, the project has delivered the following results: 

• Strengthened capacities:  

• 15 community groups were trained on creating and managing tree nurserie by members of Paran, the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), and a county government representative from the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry (MECCF). They focused on where to select a site, establish and construct the nurseries, and how to manage and care for the seedlings, including how to address diseases and pests. With a focus on indigenous trees species, training on how to propagate these species has been carried out. Finally, participants learned about overall tree planting and care. The turnout was higher than expected, with 393 people in attendance – 161 attendees at or below the age of 35 and 232 attendees above 35. 
• Three key dialogue meetings were conducted bringing together 15 villages to discuss tree planting and raise awareness of community objectives. Participants included the deputy county commissioner, area assist chiefs, village elders, KFS officers, Ministry of Environment representatives, and community members.  

• Government collaboration: The Paran Group reported a strengthened relationship with local and national government entities. The cooperative met directly with the KFS, MCEEF, County Commissioner’s office and the Ministry of Agriculture to provide project updates to these entities. Paran’s relationships with government agencies have been symbiotic, with Paran helping raise awareness of the government’s efforts in the local region while simultaneously hosting government officials to join Paran’s community dialogues and training. 
• Reforestation: To date, five tree nurseries have been established with the target of raising 45,000 seedlings. Seed species include Olea africana, Elaeodendron buchananii, Markhamia lutea, and Croton megalcarpus among others. In addition, farmers have also harvested and transplanted wildlings directly from the forest to supplement the seedlings being grown in the nurseries. So far, 7,550 seedlings from the wildlings have been transplanted into growing tubes.  
• Social Inclusion & Women-led Enterprises: In addition to the impact the project has had on reforesting the area, it has also increased awareness in the communities about women’s rights and equal participation. Men from the communities were included in the trainings and meetings, including with the government, allowing them to witness their wives and sister’s efforts and impact as well as the recognition they received. This recognition adds value to the work of the women's cooperatives. Additionally, the project supported trainings on skills that could provide income sources for women and girls, particularly handmade beadwork and briquettes for cooking fuel. Not only do these skills open an avenue for women and girls to earn an income, but they also provide an alternative to staying at home and, in some cases, an escape for girls who may face pressure to end school early, early marriage, or FGM – which are potential risks for some girls in the region.
