From international conservation science to community conservancies, corporate sponsors to bilateral government agencies — KWS works within a network of over 80 active partnerships. None of Kenya's conservation outcomes happen in isolation.
Partner Network
Each category brings a different kind of value — funding, expertise, market access, scientific rigour, or local legitimacy. Selected partners are listed under each category; this is a representative sample, not an exhaustive directory.
Partnership Spotlights
Every partnership has a story behind the relationship — and a number that shows what it has changed.
The Network in Numbers
These figures span the full partner network — not any single relationship — and reflect cumulative contributions reported across recent annual reports.
Corporate Partnership Tiers
Corporate partnerships are structured into four tiers based on annual contribution, each with a defined set of recognition and engagement benefits. All corporate funding is directed to specific, reportable programme areas — never general administration.
How to Partner With KWS
Whether you're an international NGO, a research institution, a corporate sponsor, or a community organisation, the process for establishing a formal partnership with KWS follows the same broad path — though timelines and documentation requirements vary by partnership type.
The Partnerships Office within the Legal & Corporate Affairs directorate handles all incoming partnership inquiries — routing them to the appropriate technical team based on the proposed area of work.
