Our Focus on Climate Finance Initiative
The Overarching question??
CFI scoping in Kenya
The scoping focuses on the interface
between public and private finance within
the two key Climate Financing initiatives
in Kenya, the KCIC and NETFUND
Re-invigorating the global
climate finance paradigm
Private finance and implication
for public climate finance
Defining and operationalizing
“intolerable risk”
Effectiveness in the context of
broader financial flows
How do we
evaluate
effectiveness?
Africa Carbon Forum
Why the
study?
Demonstrate short-term climate
finance impacts and effectiveness
based on key factors such as:
Mitigation perspective: - CO2 abated,
annual turnovers, land use change
Adaptation perspective: - Increased
productivity, employment created,
increased food security, reduced
vulnerability to climate change impacts
Highlights of public/private climate
finance activities in Kenya
Identify and evaluate linkages
between climate change mitigation
and adaptation
How do we
do this?
Building research questions around
actors activities

Opportunities and Challenges
Opportunities Challenges
a) Financial
Increase in sales
High valued
Financial
Ability to open more demo farms to reach all our farmers
in other areas
b) Economic
New jobs created hence more productive benefit
the local community
Economic
Shortage of resources like piped water
Meeting the demand of supply of vegetable
c) Legal/Policy
Wants the considered as one of the organic farming
in Kenya
Legal/Policy
Being a new technology it’s not yet recognized in the laws
of Kenya
d) Social
Our technology biggest marketing has been through
word of mouth because our farmers have been able
to promote through their social groups and
networking’s which in turn bring more customers
Social
Being a new technology a lot of awareness has to be
created in order for farmers to accept it since they are
used to their traditional methods of farming

1. Hydroponic
agriculture (Mineral and
Allied)
• No. soil cultivation
• Adaptation to
prolonged drought
• Green house
system hence pest
control
• Reduced
afforestation for
farming and forest
degradation
• Insignificant
2. Value Addition to
banana (STAWI Food)
• Reduced post
harvest loss and
value concentration
• Reduced
productivity
3. Non-Flooded Rice
farming (AVIVA Nest)
• Suitable selection of
species for
changing climate
• Take shorter
maturity time hence
resilient to climate
change impacts
• Reduced GHG as a
result of CH4 in
flooded agriculture
• Minimal
