REPORT ON COUNTIES SENSITIZATION WORKSHOP ON GREEN CLIMATE FUND (GCF), 25TH – 28TH APRIL, 2017 GREAT RIFT VALLEY LODGE, NAIVASHA

2

1. Introduction

The second counties sensitization workshop on GCF was held at the Great Rift Valley Lodge, Naivasha, from 25th – 28th April, 2017. The workshop was supported by the UNDP through the Green Climate Fund Readiness Project which coordinated by the National Treasury.

Forty one participant (41) representatives from Counties, Transparency International Kenya (TI), United Nations Development Programme Kenya (UNDP-K), Greening Kenya Initiative Trust (GKIT), Kenya Climate Change Working Group (KCCWG), Bioenergy Research and Development Foundation (BIFORAD), The National Treasury, Ministry of Devolution & Planning, National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) participated in the workshop. The Counties that were represented are as follows: Kisumu, Kisii, Vihiga, Uasin Gishu, Bungoma, Kakamega, Narok, Migori, Homa Bay, Nandi, Bomet, Samburu, West Pokot, Baringo, Trans Nzoia, Siaya, Elgeyo Marakwet and Nakuru.

The list of the participants is attached to this report as Annex 1.

2. Opening remarks

The chairperson, Mr Peter Odhengo (Senior Policy Analyst on Climate Finance and the GCF at the National Treasury – the NDA) welcomed participants and expressed his gratitude that participants had arrived on time. He enumerated the progress made towards delivering climate finance in Kenya and emphasised the key pillars, including: i) Principles of Climate Budget Coding for tracking of Climate Change related public expenditure in National and County Planning and Budgeting; ii) Conducting Climate Public Expenditure and Budget Review (CPEBR); and iii) Accessing Green Climate Fund (GCF). He reminded the participants that the third pillar (accessing GCF) forms the basis of the sensitization workshop. The chairperson then introduced the UNDP representative Ms Fatuma Hussein, and the representative of the Director, Financial and Sectoral Affairs (D/F&SA) Department of the National Treasury to give the Key Note address.

Ms Fatuma welcomed the participants to the workshop and reiterated the UNDP expectations from the participants. She noted that UNDP is supporting the Government of Kenya in strengthening their national capacities to effectively and efficiently plan for, access, manage, deploy and monitor climate financing in particular through the GCF. Ms Fatuma then highlighted their three areas of focus as:

i. Strengthening of capacities of National Treasury as the National Designated Authority (NDA)

ii. Building capacities of national accredited entities (AEs) and executing entities (EE’s,) and

iii. Developing pipeline of projects and programmes to be supported by GCF.

In his opening address, the representative of the D/F&SA Mr Hesbourne Mackobongo (Senior Deputy Director), was pleased to be with other participants in the sensitization workshop, just two weeks after the Cabinet approved the National Policy on Climate Finance, which underscores the importance of climate finance in realizing counties sustainable economic growth

3

and reducing adverse impacts of climate. He reminded participants that climate change is causing unprecedented environmental damage with drastic social consequences and far-reaching economic implications. Mr Mackobongo further noted that the challenge now is to redirect investments from that traditional market toward green infrastructure, renewable energy options, green technologies supported by green financing, which embraces low-carbon-climate resilient development path.

To mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change, and reduce carbon emission, Mr Mackobongo, reminded participants that developed countries have committed to mobilise at least US$100 billion per year up to 2030, and informed them that this background forms the base of the sensitization workshop. Specifically, he noted that the workshop provide the counties with a comprehensive guidance on how best to develop bankable projects to enable acceleration of the climate finance flows to respective counties, and in a consistence and transparent manner. He therefore urged participants to actively engage to raise valuable comments and actionable road map geared towards accessing more financial resources from the GCF. He reiterated that indeed, now is the time to stop talking, but act.

3. The Programme and Objectives of the Workshop

The programme was presented by Mr Peter Odhengo and was adopted by the participants with minor amendments. The programme is attached as Annex 2. The specific objectives of the workshop were presented by Dr Adano Wario, and include the following:

i. Create awareness among the County governments on the climate financing opportunities including through the Green Climate Fund and related policies, standards and procedures;

ii. Exchange information and experience in climate financing mechanisms, including Adaptation Fund (AF) and GCF;

iii. Understand the roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders in climate finance; iv. Identify potential bankable project concepts and agree on roadmap on the next steps for

further development.

Dr Adano also presented the expected output for the workshop as follows:

i. Increased understanding of global climate finance architecture including GCF, related policies, standards and procedures and roles of various institutions and structures such as NDA, NIEs and EEs;

ii. Draft potential bankable concepts; iii. Roadmap for next steps.

4. Transparency, Accountability and Integrity in delivery of climate finance: A Presentation by Ms Caroline Ruto – Transparency international (TI), Kenya

Ms Ruto noted that transparency regards openly disclosing information relating to rules, plans, processes and actions. She noted that information systems on climate finance are currently patchy, although transparency demands that this information be available to all members of the public. The disclosure, she noted, forms the basis for holding public officials to account. Thus,

4

an effective financial reporting mechanism is a key component within the climate finance system.

Regarding integrity, Ms Ruto observed that all the staff involved with the climate finance system should behave within the specified codes of conduct and ethics, and should therefore be trained to act accordingly. She also highlighted the key risk areas regarding climate financing to include; creative accounting, nepotism, double accounting, political interference, policy capture, undue influence, embezzlements of resources, land grabbing, cronyism and nepotism.

Regarding TI and Climate Finance, Ms Ruto informed the participants that the programme works to enhance transparency, accountability and integrity in climate finance at all levels: from global to national, from policy choices to project implementation, and from mitigation to adaptation. By doing so, systems and processes are strengthened and opportunities for corruption can be greatly reduced. She added that TI Kenya works to monitor the use of climate funds, engage and increase public understanding and ensure that appropriate institutional and legal frameworks exist and are strengthened to deter corruption in climate finance.

5. Presentation on GCF Readiness Programme: Ms Fatuma Hussein, UNDP

Ms Fatuma informed participants GCF readiness programme is a Global programme covering 9 countries funded by the Government of Germany. In Each country, she noted that the programme works with key domestic stakeholders responsible for the access, management & monitoring of climate finance. Ms Fatuma also noted that the programme customises to best serve country needs, in a close dialogue with the partner countries; to enable partner countries to take ownership of change processes.

Participants were further informed that the work of the programme is based on an initial assessment of the challenges and barriers (scoping mission November 2014) and the subsequent readiness plan. As a result the programme activities are meant to optimally supplement existing programmes in the field, thus works with the Partners like UNEP, UNDP and World Resources Institute (WRI). She also highlighted the policy/legal framework the covers the climate change finance in Kenya as follows: Kenya National Climate Change Response Strategy 2010; Kenya National Climate Action Plan (NCCAP 2013 - 2017); Climate Change Act 2016; Paris Agreement Ratified in December 2016; National Determined Contributions (NDC) – Submitted; National Adaptation Plan - (In Place).

6. 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; Climate Investment Funds, 2008;

5

Green Climate Fund, est. 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.

7. Roles of Counties/ Sub-Counties in GCF and the Link with the NDA

Sub-Counties have to: i) set-up climate finance systems, including climate finance teams (teamwork) and a substantive office (desk); ii) develop legislative policy framework; iii) set-up climate finance budget and clearly link planning with resources; iv) carry out climate finance diplomacy; v) conduct thorough stakeholder engagements; vi) set-up credible transparency and accountability systems; and vii) work on result areas. Counties are required to identify their priority result areas in line with the national strategies and plans.

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

Ms. Kirumba 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. And that Globally, NEMA-Kenya became the twelfth National Implementing Entity (NIE). She added that NIE is the National legal entities/organizations nominated by Parties and accredited by the Adaptation Fund Board to vet eligible projects for funding from the adaptation fund. She also added that NEMA demonstrated adequate competence in technical capabilities, maintenance of accounts, provisions for external and internal audit, procurement, project management and creating and maintaining an ethical and corruption�free environment.

Regarding GCF, Ms. Kirumba observed that NEMA got accredited with GCF on 9th March 2016, the 5th in Africa, and 9th globally (direct access). And 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,

6

WRI, and UNEP among others. The overall objective is to enhance direct flow of Climate finance into Kenya with focus on GCF.

It was noted that most of the institutions which win NEMA projects under the Adaptation Fund (AF) are the traditional ‘giants’ like Wild vision, TARDA, KEFRI etc, which may have little impacts on the locals (as they simply further their ‘traditional’ projects rather than new ones). Moving forward, local organizations (new/emerging) should be given priorities to ensure the indigenous issues and diversities are accommodated.

9. Steps towards addressing Climate Change: A presentation by Mr. Stephen King’uyu – Climate Change Directorate, Ministry of Environment & Natural Resources

Mr. King’uyu observed that Kenya has made strides towards addressing climate change policy formulation and implementation by a deliberate creation of an enabling environment to ensure every stakeholder can play their rightful roles. Due to these collaboration, he noted that the Climate Change Act (CCA), which is an Act of Parliament to provide for a regulatory framework for enhanced response to climate change; to provide for mechanism and measures to achieve low carbon climate development, and for connected purposes, was enacted in 2016. To operationalize the Act, the draft National Climate Change Framework Policy (NCCAP) endorsed by the Cabinet – is awaiting Parliamentary approval. NCCAP is the principal legal tool through which Kenya will implement analysis of, and mainstreaming climate change responses across all sectors of the economy. It is required to provide mechanisms for mainstreaming the NCCAP priorities into those sectors.

Regarding the roles of County governments, Mr. King’uyu noted that climate change is addressed as a shared responsibility between the national and County governments. He advised the representative from various counties to: i) mainstream climate change activities into County functions where impact is felt the most, ii) use CIDPs & County Sectoral Plans as tools to mainstream NCCAP within the County context, iii) designate a CEC Member to coordinate climate change affairs. The CEC  may enact legislation that further defines implementation of obligations under the Act, and iv) report progress of implementation of climate change actions annually to County Assembly and copy CCD.

Regarding public participation, Mr Kinguyu informed the participants that public participation in climate change decision making, implementation and monitoring is protected by the CCA. And the requirement is for public consultations to be undertaken in a manner that ensures that public contribution makes an impact on the threshold of decision making. He added that public participation in this context includes consultation, and access to relevant information.

10. Highlights of CIDPS – Harmonized Performance Management Framework: A presentation by Mr. Samwel Mutisya - 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

7

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.

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.

11. 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.

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:

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.

12: Counties presentations:

8

12.1: Kisumu County

With the aim of being the leading low Carbon County in the Great Lake region promoting Green sustainable development for local communities by 2030, Kisumu is among the first County to for a functional Green Energy and Climate Change Directorate.The Directorate has developed a five year Strategic Plan 2014-2018, and put up structures at local level(village committees in every sub-County)-for ease of communication and linkages to catalyse public participation in budgeting. The directorate has also drafted the County Climate change Policy that is currently before the Assembly, awaiting enactment. Moreover, the directorate has formulated a Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP)-May, 2015—cities and one Bio-technology centre for Carbon sink target-production. Kisumu County is funding these projects jointly with development partners like FES and SUSWATCH (DANIDA). However, the County is still faced with the following challenges: Sharing of resources –scramble, capacity, especially personnel, and high demands for solar lights and other projects.

12.2: Uasin Gishu County

Because the land is inadequate for waste disposal, Uasin Gishu County is implementing a project to convert solid waste to energy. The County is banking on a model from Sweden on management of solid wastes. The project is funded through the County Budget, which has allocated Kshs 80 Million with additional Kshs 30 Million coming from development partners.

12.3: Bungoma County

The County Government of Bungoma has been involved in Advocacy efforts by partnering with a number of organizations in an effort to reduce impacts of Climate Change by collecting of signatures for a cyclist team from Zimbabwe who campaigned and petitioned the developed Nations to compensate the developing nations for the impacts of Climate Change (Afforestation plan).With a forest cover of about 14% only, the County has developed a structured plan to plant trees in schools and other organizations for greening programme and along the rivers to protect the river-banks. For example, Mt. Elgon and Chetambe hills Afforestation for the protection of the Water tower, Rehabilitation of degraded sites (Hill tops), Commercial woodlot/Agro forestry, roadside tree planting and amenity planting. The County is also looking for partnership to implement a project on household air pollution and promote the use of bio fuel/ green fuel to mitigate effects of climate change.

However, Bungoma County still faces the following challenges in its quest to mitigate the impacts of climate change:

i. Budgetary allocation for Climate Change programs within the County budget.

ii. Climate Change issues have resulted into crop failing; the Met. Department has failed farmers due to lack of specialized equipment and lack creating awareness through timely dissemination of information to the farmers on weather patterns.

iii. Ineffectiveness of the policies present in addressing Climate Change and emphasized on the need to have strategic and specific policies.

9

12.4: Kakamega County

Kakamega County is implementing a Pollution Control, Monitoring and Enforcement programme to achieve an environmentally clean and healthy County by reducing emissions that contribute to Global Warming. The County allocated about Kshs 5.3 Million on the project in its 2016/17 FY budget. During the same period, the County also allocated Kshs 7 Million on an Environmental Education, Awareness and Farm Forestry Extension project to ensure mass education on environmental conservation, change the knowledge, attitude and practice of the public towards sustainable environment conservation and to increase agroforestry and farm trees to provide fruits, wood and fodder.

Kakamega County also spent Kshs 18 Million on Waste Management and Environmental Conservation project to empower youth and women groups (economically), and to uplift cleanness standards within the County. Regarding Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation project, the County allocated Kshs 18 Million (during the same period) to address issues related to natural calamities and disasters associated to human induced environmental degradation and to enact two key bills for Climate Change Financing i.e., Climate Change Policy, and Environmental Bill.

13. Break-out Session

The participants were divided into two groups 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) Has high Internal Rate of Return (IRR) – environmental business vii) Inclusiveness – gender, youth, special interest groups etc.

The output of the group work is attached to this report as Annex 3.

14. CSOs Perspective on Climate Finance – Presentation by Elizabeth Wanja, KCCWG

Ms. Wanja 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. She also highlighted the climate finance source and the architecture.

With regard to the challenges faced by CSOs in the climate finance arena, Ms. Wanja highlighted the following:

• Structure of climate financing is fragmented

• More bureaucratic

• Government absorption still low

10

• 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 can help ensure the effectiveness of climate financing in a number of ways;

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

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

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

iv. 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.

15. Next Steps and Recommendations:

The members of the two groups automatically become the Project Development Teams (PDTs). Rapporteurs of the groups to input the group work into the GCF concept note template and circulate to the group members. The groups were given a month window to work on the concepts and submit to NDA office for further guidance.

Some Key recommendations of the workshop were:

1. There is need to enhance tracking and coordination of climate finance in the country. Transparency both at the national and County levels including for finances for the private and CSOs organizations should be promoted.

2. There is need to further define the role of council of governors in the coordination of inter County climate change projects and programmes as well as ensuring effective participation of relevant counties in different projects. CoG needs to establish a coordination committee for counties and facilitate sharing of experiences between counties.

3. The GCF concept and proposal templates were noted to be too complex for County experts and hence the need for more capacity building to enhance participation of counties in further development of proposals

4. The National Implementing Entity (NEMA) should put structures to technically assist counties’ project teams in developing bankable projects so that rather than disqualify their projects, they mentor the process to yield projects which meets the required threshold.

5. 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

6. The participants/counties will engage National Treasury more and will be linked with the ongoing climate finance initiatives and projects in respective counties.

11

Relevant counties were invited to Lake Victoria Climate Change Platform which include 13 counties will be meeting in Kisumu on 26th May 2016 in preparation for the Nyando Delta Plan.

16. Vote of Thanks and Closing Remarks

The vote of thanks were given by Mr. Mutisya from the CoG. Mr. Kiogora from Nakuru County gave the closing remarks on behalf of Governor of Nakuru County, where he outline the importance of lobbying for environmental concerns especially during the transition in the County governments. He thanked organizers for choosing his County as venue of workshop. He wished participants good stay in the Nakuru and safe travels.
