Joint programme Support to low carbon climate resilient development for poverty reduction in Kenya

The Government of Kenya recognizes the importance of climate change (CC) impacts on Kenya’s development and risks towards achieving Vision 2030 as highlighted in the National Climate Change Response Strategy 2010. It is a cross-cutting issue that affects all sectors and segments of Kenya’s urban and rural populations. The National Climate Change Action Plan 2013-2017 (NCCAP) stipulates the need to mainstream CC adaptation and mitigation measures in national and county planning and budgeting processes and in all sectors of the economy as a means to further Kenya’s people-centered development strategy. The NCCAP background briefings and studies clearly identify the needs of Government, private sector and the CSOs to successfully implement the NCCAP and result in meaningful change towards a low carbon, resilient development pathway for the benefit of Kenyans. This consolidated UN Proposal will contribute to this end. The UN programme consists of six outputs which will contribute towards achieving the intended outcome and objectives. The primary beneficiaries of the project will be members of the Kenya population; particularly those who are most strongly impacted by increasing climate variability as a result of long-term climate change.
