The Cabinet on Thursday extended the ban on logging by one year to address deforestation.
A meeting chaired by President Uhuru Kenyatta at State House in Nairobi directed the Ministry of Environment to establish an inter-agency team to assess mature trees that are ready for harvesting.
The team should submit its report by April 2020.
The Cabinet meeting, which was attended by Deputy President William Ruto, also approved the National Cooperative Policy.
The policy establishes an institutional framework to enhance the coordination of cooperative societies.
It also seeks to deepen the deployment of ICT in the management of saccos and promote good corporate governance.
Also approved is the National Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) Policy which is aimed at scaling up the management of menstrual hygiene.
The policy highlights MHM as a rights issue and brings it into the mainstream of the health and development agenda by considering the prevailing social, economic, cultural and demographic contexts of women and girls
