Annual Reports
Every year, the program officers of the Green Belt Movement and staff of the Green Belt Movement International come together in a dynamic set of collaborative meetings to review progress, share concerns and ideas, and set paths for moving forward. Correspondingly, an annual report is produced as a compilation of activities of the year, a look back on the strong foundations from which the Green Belt Movement continues to grow. These reports provide a glimpse into the rich history of GBM and the myriad ways in which its work affects the landscapes and people of Kenya and the world.
