President William Ruto has handed more than Kes 7.2 billion to counties that will provide climate change investment grants under the Financing Locally-LED Climate Action (FLLoCA) initiative.
While addressing the Africa Climate Summit 2023 in Nairobi, Ruto said the initiative aims to enhance Kenya’s climate adoption through financing, technology, and capacity building.
Funded by the World Bank, Denmark, and Sweden, FLLoCA has attracted commitments totaling $150 million under a five-year program.
“The grants, together with Kes 3 billion of county own-resource allocations, will finance local climate action priorities in agriculture, water and natural resources management in every county,” he said.
He also presided over the launch of the Long-Term Low Greenhouse Gas Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) 2022–2050, the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2023–2027, and the Climate Change (Amendment) Act 2023.
