Hon. Mohamed Jirmo Goilicha, Member of County Assembly for Cherab Ward assured the Korbesa Community of support of the County Government of Isiolo towards  the new initiative to control Prosopis Juliflora (Mathenge) through utilization. After many years of complains Korbesa Community has finally embraced Mathenge as a resource. They formed Korbesa Biliqi Saleti Community Woodlands Forest Association (KOBISA). KOBISA is registered with the Office of the Attorney General and will be an avenue for controlling and managing the invasive species which has already taken up a big chunk of wetlands (chaffa). The wetlands forms part of the strategic grazing reserve for the dry period. A team from Marigat, Baringo County trained 45 members of KOBISA on different methods for controlling the species- charcoal production, value addition and planting of grass. The training was held at Korbesa Trading Centre in October 16-18, 2018. The MCA visited KOBISA during the training.

The meeting was organized by Caritas Isiolo in partnership with Isiolo County Government and MIDP at Pastoral center Isiolo to discuss the way forward on the ongoing process of the Isiolo County Disaster Risk Management policy. An Action Plan was developed to lobby the Isiolo County Assembly to approve the draft policy    

MID-P supported county official from the  department of Environment and climate change to learn how to manage sand harvest control and public participation. Action plan was developed to review the existing Isiolo county Sand harvest control draft bill.
