2.0 Remarks

a) Remarks from Council of Governors

Mr. Ken Oluoch, the Programme Officer - Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at the Council of Governors (CoG) made remarks on behalf of CoG. He indicated that the Harmonized Performance Management Framework (PMF) is an intergovernmental, multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at promoting accountability in service delivery by ensuring that tasks are performed efficiently, effectively and economically. It also provides a mechanism for citizens to engage and evaluate the performance of their county government.

The committee spearheaded a review of the existing performance management framework and a gap analysis of the seven existing policies and guidelines which informed:

• Alignment of National Performance Management Framework and the County Performance Management Framework, and

• Review and draft the existing policies and guidelines to operationalize the framework

He also highlighted the difference and similarities in the National and County PMF. Mr. Oluoch further highlighted the CoG provided detailed input to the County Integrated Development Programmes (CIDPs) guidelines under development by the Ministry of Devolution and Planning. He was indicated that the importance of draft guidelines being finalized and shared with counties soon to guide the planning process. The guidelines

4

seek to promote uniformity in the development of CIDPs and therefore setting the basic norms and standards in the generation of CIDPs.

In Conclusion, he noted that the CoG is providing an enabling environment to the counties in the development of policies. He noted few counties that have already climate change policies and legal frameworks in place while others are currently developing. Additionally, he indicated the CoG represents the counties in the National Climate Change Council. He noted the importance of the meeting and need to build capacities of counties on accreditation and accessing resources from GCF.

b) Remarks from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs)

Mr. John Kioli, the Chairman of Kenya Climate Change Working Group (KCCWG) started his remarks by appreciating the National Treasury for organizing the workshop and for the involvement of CSOs in the forum. He indicated the importance of mainstreaming climate change in the CIDPs. He provided context on the involvement of counties in climate change as the Climate Change Act, 2016 that provide detailed responsibilities to various stakeholders. He noted the importance of legislative framework at the county level to anchor the climate change processes as well as implementation.

c) Remarks from UNDP-Kenya

Mr. Geoffrey Omedo gave remarks on behalf of Mr. David Githaiga of UNDP. He welcomed the participants and highlighted the importance of the workshop in addressing climate change issues. He indicated that climate change is real and its impacts are been felt globally, nationally and at household levels. He also highlighted the various support and collaboration work with the Government both national and county governments including the 1st climate public expenditure and budget review (CPEBR), CCBC among others. In addition, UNDP is also collaborating with the CoG and the counties in development of County’s spatial plans that should inform CIDPs. He indicated that climate change is a critical development issue and human activities are the main cause of climate change. UNDP is ready to support counties towards realizing the national vision.

d) Key Note Address from the Director, Financial and Sectoral Affairs, National Treasury.

Mr. Christopher Oisebe, the Director Financial and Sectoral Affairs, National Treasury gave his remarks first by thanking the organizers of the workshop. He highlighted the

5

importance of National Policy on Climate Finance, which was recently approved by Cabinet, in realizing counties sustainable economic growth and reducing adverse impacts of climate.

In his speech, he highlighted the significance of the Paris Climate Agreement and the Government of Kenya commitment in the fight against climate change by putting in place of legislative, policy frameworks and strategies aimed at redefining the country’s development agenda patterned along the new economic paradigm -“Low-Carbon, Climate Resilient Development Path”. He noted the important role private financing for climate change actions backed by public regulatory and catalytic role. He called upon counties to take a central stage towards the long- term vision and taking advantage of the existing opportunities in accessing resources. He assured participants that the National Treasury will continue to work with partners to support counties in implementing climate change response

3.0 Presentation on GCF Readiness Project by Ms. Fatuma Hussein Ms. Fatuma Hussein, UNDP gave a brief presentation of the GCF Readiness Project funded by the German Government through UNDP, UNEP and WRI. She highlighted the Programme is implemented in 9 countries including Kenya and is informed by specific national priorities and needs identified during scoping mission. The Project in Kenya is aimed at strengthening national capacities to effectively and efficiently plan for, access, manage, deploy and monitor climate financing in particular through the GCF. The National Treasury coordinates the Project and some of the key areas of support under the project are: accreditation, project pipeline development and building capacities of NDA, AEs and Executing entities (EEs). The project has supported the sensitization workshops for the counties. 4.0 Global perspective – Green Climate Fund: A presentation by Mr Peter Odhengo

The presentation by Mr. Odhengo highlighted the milestones in Climate Finance including, the GCF, NDAs and focal points, Getting ready, Projects and Programmes, GCF portfolio and Accreditation.

Under Key milestones, he highlighted the deliberations and outcomes of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in 1972 (Stockholm); Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 1988; UN Framework Convention in Climate Change, 1992; Kyoto Protocol. 1997; Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF), 2001; Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF), 2001; Adaptation Fund (COP7), est. 2001, launched 2007;

6

Climate Investment Funds, 2008; Green Climate Fund, established in 2010, launched in 2012 & operational 2013; and the Paris Agreement, 2015.

Mr Odhengo highlighted that GCF is the Financial Mechanism of the Convention – United Nations Finance on Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC) that was established in Cancun, Mexico, in December 2010, and headquartered in Songdo, Republic of Korea. He then highlighted the GCF business model, GCF resources, characteristics and how to engage with GCF.

Mr Odhengo informed participants that the National Treasury is the National Designated Authority (NDA; also referred to as Focal Point in other jurisdiction) with regard to climate finance. He noted that the roles of the NDA are to convene national stakeholders, issue of nomination letters for direct access to GCF, issue of No-objection letters for projects/programmes, approve readiness support and offer strategic oversight aligned to national priorities. He further highlighted GCF programming, readiness programme including critical (four) areas of support, readiness funding and support, as well as access modalities. Mr Odhengo also focused on the (eight) strategic results areas, the (six) investment criteria, the project approval process, the project preparation facility (PPF), the private sector facility and request for proposal.

He noted that the Paris Agreement reiterates Green Climate Fund as the main financing vehicle. Already the developed countries have committed to mobilize $ 100 billion per year up to the year 2030. However, out of the committed amount only $ 10.3 billion has been pledged, $ 9.9 billion signed and less than $ 3 billion disbursed. Kenya has already received US$ 25 million together with Rwanda, US$ 100 Million through Acumen for solar and related issues. Other climate funds available are the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and adaptation fund.

4.1 Comments from Mr. Odhengo’s Presentation - Overview of Green Climate Fund

Question/ Concern Response

• More clarifications into the GCF financial instruments especially guarantee, equity and how the counties can benefit

• Guarantees and equity mainly apply to private sector. The county investment blocks can tap into the private Sector window at the GCF. The counties will be the executing entities

• Is the $ 40 million for the PPF available to the counties? How can

• The amount is at the global level at the GCF. Only a limited amount is available

7

the counties tap into? per county and is accessed through an accredited entity or the NDA direct access.

• Different counties have different CIDPs and priorities. How can the counties develop a joint project proposal focusing on a common resource e.g. Aberdares?

• Proposal focusing on shared resources (inter-county or inter-basin) are encouraged. County economic blocks will be key in driving a common agenda. CoG could play a critical role in coordinating preparation and implementation of such projects. There are several project proposals within the NDA database that are multi-county e.g. FAO, IUCN etc

o • There is need to establish directors

forum on issues climate change finance esp. GCF to enhance coordination and sharing of experiences

• The NDA is looking forward to engaging with the Directors in charge of Climate Change and environment more. The workshop was mainly organized for the directors.

• CoG could establish forum for exchange of ideas and experiences of environmental experts

• The budget allocation for the environment in almost all the counties is very low. The underfunding of environment is also at the national level.

• There is need for more lobbying and training of county assembly members on climate change issues.

• Additionally the solution lies with county priorities. The “politically correct” sectors usually receive more funding. Therefore the political goodwill is very important.

• Commitments from the CoG in ensuring that climate change is mainstreamed in the CIDPs

• Since environment is a cross-cutting sector, there is need to understand what is happening in all other sectors.

• There is need for more awareness and enhanced coordination on climate change for support at the county level to enhance allocation of resources

5.0 Progress of Adaptation Fund (AF) project and GCF project pipeline Development: A presentation by Ms Wangare Kirumba, NEMA

Ms Kirumba, the NIE Coordinator, NEMA informed participants that NEMA-Kenya – was accredited as the National Implementing Entity (NIE) for Kenya in a decision taken during Adaptation Fund Board 16th Meeting held on 17th March, 2012 in Bonn, Germany. Globally, NEMA-Kenya became the twelfth National Implementing Entity (NIE). She added that NIE is the National legal entity/organisation nominated by a Party and accredited by the Adaptation Fund Board to access funding from the adaptation fund. She also added that NEMA demonstrated adequate competence in technical capabilities, met the fiduciary and other standards set by the Fund to get accreditation. The gave a brief overview of the process that led to the development of the project funded by the AF, current status, challenges and lessons learnt.

Regarding GCF, Ms Kirumba observed that NEMA got accredited with GCF on 9th March 2016, the 5th in Africa, and 9th globally (direct access) on a fast-track basis because of their experiences with the AF. She noted that GCF Programme design process in Kenya, steered by National treasury and in their role as NDA and NEMA as the Accredited Entity. She noted that GCF process is conceived through a consultative process mainly with NDA, NIE - NEMA and MENR, with technical support from partners like CDKN, WRI, and UNEP among others. The overall objective is to enhance direct flow of Climate finance into Kenya with focus on GCF. With regards to the NEMA call for GCF proposals that was done in 2016, she indicated that, the screening has been completed and the selected concepts will be published in two weeks.

5.1 Comments from NEMA Presentation

Comment/ Concerns Response

• The capacity of CSOs is a challenge. CSOs depend on the availability of funds. How is NEMA ensuring that the capacity of

• NEMA has noted challenges with CSOs in implementing AF project and is implementing capacity building for CSOs and the audit report currently shows a

9

potential CSOs is strengthened? good progress.

• Who controls the calendar of the call for proposals in Kenya?

• NEMA controls the process.

• County governments should be involved in monitoring the implementation of the AF project. The counties were not consulted or involved during the inception of the projects.

• The AF project was initiated earlier before the county governments. However NEMA has disbursed funds to NEMA county offices to operationalize the county governance structure and enhance monitoring implementation. Representatives of county governments are members of the county committees. She gave an example of the oversight structure established with the Kenya Red Cross Project in Marsabit.

• Conflict of interest exists between the County Directors-NEMA and the County Government Directors of Environments. Only 7 counties have environment committees as a result of these conflicts.

• NEMA stands guided by the Constitution and will be working in ensuring that the conflicts are minimized and a harmonious working relationship is enhanced.

• Gaps in the revised EMCA 2015

6.0 Highlights of CIDPS – Harmonized Performance Management Framework: A presentation by Mr Ken Oluoch - Council of Governors (CoG)

Mr Oluoch noted that the Council of Governors (CoG) through a multi stakeholder initiative developed and harmonized county performance management framework (CPMF) which was approved and adopted by the council of governors on 15th august 2016, follow up sensitization to ensure that the roll out is done in accordance with global standards and best practices was undertaken to all the respective county officials. He noted that through a request by the council of governors an intergovernmental performance management technical committee was convened on 14th October 2017. He also noted that the CPMF is an intergovernmental, multi-stakeholder initiative aimed at promoting accountability in service delivery by ensuring that tasks are performed efficiently, effectively and economically. It also provides a mechanism for citizen to engage and evaluate the performance of their county governments.

10

Mr Oluoch also highlighted the guidelines for the preparation of County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs). He mentioned that the pioneer county governments faced a myriad of challenges including, a rush against time to develop their integrated plans as a condition for receiving their budgetary allocations. But noted that MoDP and Council of Governors (CoG) have agreed to review and revise the CIDP guidelines to provide guidance to the counties as they prepare to develop the second generation of CIDPs.

7.0 National Planning Process and Mainstreaming Climate change into National Plans: A presentation by Ms Elizabeth Wamalwa - State Department of Planning and Statistics

Ms Wamalwa highlighted the planning process for Kenya’s development blue-prints including those related to: i) Kenya’s Vision 2030 and its implementation; ii) Preparatory processes of National development plans; iii) Third Medium Term Plan (2018-2022) preparation process; and, iv) mainstreaming Climate Change.

Regarding Mainstreaming Climate Change systems with the medium-term planning (MTP), Ms Wamalwa informed the participants that the MTP III, which is currently being developed, will take cognizance of the negative impact of climate change. She noted that the Climate Change Act 2016 provides framework of addressing climate change, so the MTP III will outline strategies in line with the NCCAP mitigation and adaptation mechanism that will be mainstreamed into all sectors of economy. She also noted that Key actors of climate change agenda will constitute the Climate Change, Thematic Working Group during preparation of MTP III and will be in charge of reviewing the sector plans and ensuring the MTP III mainstreams climate change responses and actions. She also note that the MTP III takes cognisance of the negative impacts of climate change and the Climate Change Act 2016 provides a framework of addressing climate change. She highlighted that MTP III will comprise of 24 MTP Working Groups and 2 Thematic groups. The two thematic Working Groups are: Climate change; and HIV/AIDS. These thematic working groups will cross-cut all the 24 MTP Working Groups.

Ms Wamalwa also informed participants that the national government has launched a National Spatial Plan detailing the national spatial vision that will guide the long term spatial development of the country for a period of 30 years. She mentioned that Spatial Planning – Principles include:

11

i. Sustainable development: Balancing social, economic and environmental dimensions of development, and;

ii. Promotion of ecological integrity: Plans shall promote the protection and conservation of environmentally sensitive areas, and there will be guidelines on mainstreaming of climate change into CIDPs. 7.1 Comments from CoG and MoDP Presentations

Concerns/ Questions Response

• MTP vs CIDPs. Why different names? • MTPs are done at the National Level while CIDPs are prepared by county governments, with both over 5 year period.

• The MTPs need to inform the CIDPs.

• The MTP III will be launched is Dec 2017, which is too late to be in line with the development of the CIDPs

• CIDPs are guide by law while the MTP is not. MTP is cabinet approved

• The MTP III has to include the winning party’s manifesto, which is after August 2017 election hence the delay but much of the technical work would have been done by June 2017.

• When are the final CIDP guidelines being released

• The guidelines are on the process of being finalized and will be released soon.

• What is the stage of Thematic Working Group (TWG) on Climate Change? How will they operate?

• The TWG on climate change will ensure and reinforce the SWG in mainstreaming climate change in MTP III. The TWG on climate change will be led by the Climate Change Directorate, while the MoDP will only provide the secretariat.

8.0 Role of the NDA By Peter Odhengo Mr. Peter Odhengo from National Treasury made a detailed presentation of key roles of the National Treasury as the Designated National Authority (NDA) of the Green Climate Fund. The key highlighted and discussed roles include:

12

• Receiving request of AEs and provide letter of no objection • Undertake institutional capacity building for NIEs and EEs • Develop GCF engagement framework • Support sector based policy reviews, alignment and development • Create strategic framework for representing and engagement with Fund • Convene national and county stakeholders • Issuance of nomination letter for direct access • No objection letter for accreditation and for projects and programmes • Approval of readiness support • Strategic oversight aligned to national priorities

Peter also indicated that NEMA and ACUMEN have been accredited as NAEs with the Fund, ACTS and GDC are at stage 2 of accreditation and KCB, KIRDI, EABD, One Acre Fund are at stage 1. He also presented the pipeline of projects that the country presented to GCF so far through various accredited entities.

9.0 Presentations by County Governments

9.1 Makueni County

The county has faced serious climate change effects overtime, with severe deforestation being occurring over time. The leadership of the county has been focused and interested on climate change issues. This led to the creation of county body responsible for climate change in 2014 and operates a bottom-up approach, reporting directly to the Governor.

The county worked with ADA consortium and DFID to develop a Climate Change Fund Board, which became operational in November 2016. The Makueni CCF is a regulation anchored in the PFM Act. The structure of the Board consists of ward climate change planning committees, and the county climate change committees.

Out of the 30 wards, 6 wards were selected with 9 projects that were developed through the funding from DFID. The achievement of the projects are; accessibility of water to about 20,000 people; rehabilitation of catchment area and 2 sand dams.

The milestones of Makueni CCF include:

• Committed 1% of annual budget to the Fund • FY 2017/18 the Fund is getting Ksh 78 million • The environment Department has further allocated Ksh 2 million per ward,

totaling Ksh 60 million

13

• Engaged DFID to upscale the pilot project to other wards • Trained 600 people on climate change matters.

9.2 Kitui County

Mr. Dominic Mumbu, the Director of Environment from Kitui County highlighted the climate change related projects that Kitui County has or is implanting. They include:

a) Kenya adaptation to climate change in arid lands (KACCAL) • Coordinated by UNDP with funding by Global Environment Facility (GEF) and

covered two wards – Kyuso and Mumoni. • The project laid foundation for adaptation work in Kitui County • Project ended in June, 2014

b) Strengthening Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change in Kenya plus Programme (StARCK+) – Ada Consortium & partners. This project is similar to the one that led to the development of Makueni CCF and is also being implemented in Wajir, Isiolo and Garissa.

The key features of the Kitui project is the Climate Information Service (CIS) and the Climate Adaptation Fund (CAF)

• The (CIS) brings together experts in climate change issues for documentation and dissemination of climate iinformation. Kitui County is 1st in the country to develop Climate Information Service Plan (KCCISP)

• The Climate Adaptation Fund (CAF) is similar to the Makueni CCF and works with ward and county committees to build resilience and to combat climate change impacts.

The achievements of Kitui County Government include;

• Climate Change Fund Regulations at County Assembly awaiting 2nd reading;

• Established structures at steering level (cabinet); technical and Ward Adaptation planning Committees;

• 14 adaptation projects implemented successfully;

• Budget allocations – Kshs. 650 million per year (appr. 10%);

9.3 Laikipia County

Projects and milestones in climate change include;

• 40 million trees in 4 years- budget is Ksh 65 million • Policy on DRR – Bill in the 2nd reading

Laikipia County is working through environmental committees to identify and implement climate change projects

9.4 Wajir County

Mr. Abdirahman, County Executive in charge of environment, Wajir County, made a presentation on the county experience and lessons learnt. Wajir County has established a County Climate Change Fund through an Act with the same structure as Makueni and Kitui. The county allocates 2% of the county’s development funds to climate change annually. Projects are identified through ward committees and funded by the Fund.

• The challenge is however is that a lot of funds are allocated to water while there are a lot of stresses on the rangelands

9.5 Kajiado County

Mr. John Kanini, the Director of Environment from Kajiado County highlighted the following environmental issues facing Kajiado County

• Solid waste management • Liquid waste management • Deforestation due charcoal production • Quarrying • Sand harvesting and river beds degradation • Drying up of rivers and streams • Unplanned human settlements • Climate change

Bills and Regulations

• County Environmental Management Bill 2015 • Sand harvesting Regulations • Sustainable Charcoal Production Regulations

9.6 Taita Taveta County

Key Achievements

• First County to sign the TIPS on forestry and has challenges securing resources for implementation

• Vision 2020 secretariat – tries to map the vision into Kenya Vision 2030 • Ksh 100 million for water adaptation projects through Red Cross • Rehabilitation of the water towers

15

• Established forum in every ward, once a month to address environmental and other issues 9.7 Kiambu County

Key climate related projects in the county are:

• Planting of bamboo trees around the landfills • Tree seedlings production • Repossessing of grabbed catchment areas • Fully fledged Department of Environment. Budget has increased from Ksh 5

million to more than Ksh 50 million • JICA is funding the county on waste management • Night collection of waste to be implanted • Pursuing PPP • Several counties benchmarked with Kiambu

10.0 CSOs Perspective on Climate Finance – Presentation by John Kioli, KCCWG

Mr. Kioli started by indicating that climate finance is an important feature of international cooperation in response to climate change. He added that it is one of the two duties developed countries agreed to take on under the UNFCCC, alongside the duty to lead in cutting carbon emissions. Mr Kioli also highlighted the climate finance source and the architecture.

With regard to the challenges faced by CSOs in the climate finance arena, Mr Kioli highlighted the following:

• Structure of climate financing is fragmented

• More bureaucratic

• Government absorption still low

• Capacity building component for CSO inadequate

• Involvement of CSO in decision making lacking

He however indicated that an improved participation of civil society in matters of climate finance could help ensure the effectiveness of climate financing in a number of ways;

1. Experience in the design of adaptation and mitigation programmes being financed.

16

2. In ensuring that financing goes to those who are most vulnerable.

3. In setting up accountability and transparency mechanisms, CSOs have shown that it can be an effective advocate and perform ‘watchdog’ role

4. CSOs are already working on some programs on the community level it is cheaper and cost effective to enhance those projects by injecting more resources.

11.0 Breakout Sessions and Group Presentations

The participants were divided into two groups, each to develop a bankable GCF concept. The groups were informed that the concepts should have the following features:

i) Innovative ii) Transformative iii) Impactful iv) Has co-benefits v) Reduces GHG emissions vi) Have business and economic case vii) Inclusiveness – gender, youth, special interest groups etc.

The output of the group work is attached to this report as Annex 3 12.0 Next steps and recommendations: The meeting agreed that the 2 key concept ideas presented by two groups will form the basis of further work to developed concept notes for submission to GCF. The two groups led by the respective rapporteurs and chairs will form a working through email and WhatsApp and further develop the concept ideas. Based on the presented concept template, the two teams will populate the template and share the draft concept notes with the NDA office for further work.

Some overall key recommendations from the meeting are:

• More capacity building for counties and CSOs to enhance engagement with GCF including on project proposal development. Members of county assemblies and others departments of counties need to sensitized to facilitate counties participation in climate change matters.

17

• Enhanced coordination on climate change and climate finance by the national government to enable effective implementation of climate change Act by the counties.

• Council of Governors play a key role in developing cross-county proposals • There is need to strengthen county governments participation in project development

by various proponents/EEs/AEs and the NDA should facilitate this before providing letters of no objection

• There is need to establish counties’ fora on directors of environment and climate change to facilitate exchange of experiences and ideas better counties on good practices with regards to climate change policy, legal, institution frameworks as well as implementation efforts.

• Counties will need to mainstream climate change into their CIDPs and put in place key legal, policy, legal and institutional frameworks to support climate actions building on the national policy and legal frameworks.

13.0 Closing Remarks

Mr. Christopher Osiebe gave closing remarks and noted he learnt a lot at the workshop. He thanked UNDP and the Treasury team for the well organized and facilitated workshop. He requested NEMA as national public institution to go for high level and granting accreditation to enable the country access more resources from GCF. He requested counties to be more activities on climate finance and particularly GCF issues. He reiterated the National Treasury as the NDA will continue to facilitate all stakeholders and try to seek more resources for readiness activities to build capacities of all relevant institutions on climate finance including trough the implementation of climate change finance policy.
