In November 2015, Kenya made a historic landmark in efforts to address the country s vulnerability to climate change by validating its National Adaptation Plan (NAP ). The NAP is Kenya s first plan on adaptation and demonstrates a strong commitment to operationalize the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP ). The NAP identifies and prioritizes actions in 20 planning sectors for the short, medium and long term. 6. Brief summary of the request (200 words) The GCF NAP readiness support will help achieve the following expected results in line with the recommended actions in the NAP. i. Technical and institutional capacities for adaptation planning in key Ministries, Department and Agencies (MDAs) enhanced. Targeted institutions include: Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Ministry of Environment and National Resources, National Drought Management Authority, Ministry of Water and Irrigation, Ministry of Devolution and Planning, Climate Finance Unit of the National Treasury. ii. Knowledge base for NAPs strengthened iii. Evidence-based results for NAPs improved and integrated in subsequent adaptation plans. iv. Private sector actively engaged and investing in the adaptation process. In a bid to improve its ability to mobilize adequate resources to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change, Kenya has also effected a new policy on Climate Finance (Climate Finance Policy 2017).

9 PAGE 8 OF 18 Ver. 20 March 2017 SECTION 3: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please explain how this grant will help deliver on the country s readiness needs as identified above and build on institutions, processes or existing work already underway in the country (maximum 500 words) The Government of Kenya recognizes the threats posed by climate change and is committed to take action to address them. Kenya s Nationally Determined Contribution identifies climate change adaptation as a priority for the country. Over the last five years the country has developed climate change strategies, policies and plans, including the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) in 2010, the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP ), Climate Change Act in 2016 and the Climate Finance Policy in Furthermore, the country s National Adaptation Plan (NAP ) was released in November It is Kenya s first plan on adaptation aimed at operationalising the NCCAP by mainstreaming adaptation across all sectors in national planning, budgeting and implementation processes. Both the NCCAP and the NAP will be reviewed after five years. Further challenges related to adaptation planning remain. Two specific needs were highlighted in the NAP itself: 1) Establish an institutional framework and build capacity to coordinate and enhance mainstreaming at the sectoral level; and 2) Put in place mechanisms linking climate change data and information with national and county planning processes. In light of the iterative nature of the NCCAP and the NAP, a stakeholder consultation was convened in January to identify gaps and needs in adaptation planning and ways to address them. Some of the main gaps identified include: weak evidence on the impacts of adaptation interventions; weak involvement of counties in adaptation planning; and a lack of capacities at the individual, institutional and systemic levels on climate change risks and opportunities in the agriculture sectors. A study commissioned by FAO and UNDP in 2016 (see Section 4.3) identified a number of barriers to NAP implementation. Of specific mention are barriers related to Lack of harmonization of the national and county planning processes leading to lack of synergies in the implementation of the NAP. Others are technical capacity and financial barriers (page 6 and 7 of the assessment report). This readiness project will address some of the barriers. For instance, the first outcome area is focused on strengthening technical and institutional capacities. Other critical aspects of capacity building are covered under project outcomes 2, 3 and 4, precisely activities 2.3.3, 2.3.4, 3.2.1, The project component on private sector engagement is aimed at mobilizing climate finance from the private sector in a bid to address financial barriers. In an effort to address the lack of harmonization of national and county planning processes identified by the study, this project will support the development of a coordination mechanism to ensure that the data and information management systems are linked with national, sectoral as well as county planning processes, in particular, the third Medium Term Plan (MTP III ), County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) as well as existing Early Warning Systems. The study also identified drivers for NAP implementation such as public participation, the Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Strategy (KCSAS ) and its Implementation Plan (the Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Framework Programme). By strengthening the capacity of journalists on climate change reporting, the project will contribute towards influencing public participation. Lastly, activity 1.5 of the readiness project is about implementation of the Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Framework Programme-a key driver for NAP implementation. This Readiness project offers the opportunity to meet the residual needs of the country s adaptation planning process in terms of: i) building technical and institutional capacities; ii) promoting knowledge management, communication and advocacy; iii) enhancing the evidence base for adaptation; iv) enabling private sector involvement. A detailed explanation of how the project will address the residual needs of the country is provided under section 4.2 on additional information, sub-section title: Theory of Change The project will build on existing work already underway in the country. For instance, in the first outcome area on strengthening technical and institutional capacities, the project will build on the work currently being supported by the USAID-funded Low Emission Climate Resilient Development (LECRD) project and the Integrating Agriculture 6 Minutes of the stakeholders consultation meeting attached under additional information (section 4.2)

10 PAGE 9 OF 18 Ver. 20 March 2017 in National Adaptation Plans project. The integrating Agriculture in NAPs project is a collaborative initiative of the FAO and UNDP Kenya representations. In 2016, the project technically and financially supported a capacity needs assessment for climate change adaptation planning in six government institutions. Namely, Ministries of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Environment and Natural Resources, Devolution & Planning, National Drought Management Authority, Ministry of Water and Irrigation and the National Treasury (The target institutions under this NAP readiness project). The Integrating Agriculture in NAPs project is currently supporting capacity development activities based on the findings of the capacity assessment. However, the training programme is not integrated in the Kenya School of Government (KSG) training programs. Moreover, since the LECRD-supported training program is focused on imparting basic climate change knowledge, there is need to develop climate change programs at the intermediate and advanced levels. Due to budget constraints, the capacity building exercise under the FAO-UNDP collaborative initiative has been limited in scope to the national level only. Since the capacity assessment findings are institution-based, this project will support the development of training curricula tailored to the unique needs of each sector and further oversee their integration in the KSG training programs. KSG is a state corporation that offers management training, research, consultancy and advisory services to the public sector at both National and County governments, private sector players as well as those from the Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). Once integrated in the KSG programs, technical officers at both national and county level will be able to benefit through enrolment. The idea of anchoring activities in functional national institutions helps in ensuring sustainability of project activities beyond the project period. Although the NAP is multi-sectorial, this proposal is focused mainly on the agricultural sectors, being the sector mostly affected by climate change and a priority for Kenya. However, the implementing agency will work closely with the Climate Change Directorate (CCD) under the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources and the NDA, and will seek synergies with other adaptation-related activities of the other sectors through regular consultations with the NAP Thematic Working Group. 7 In particular, this project will help Kenya achieve the following expected results: Expected result 1: Technical and institutional capacities for adaptation planning in key Ministries, Departments and Agencies (MDAs) enhanced. Expected result 2: Knowledge management, communication and advocacy on climate change adaptation strengthened. Expected result 3: Evidence-base of climate change adaptation in agriculture improved and integrated in subsequent national adaptation plans. Expected result 4: Private sector actively engaged in climate change adaptation. 7 The NAP Thematic Working Group (TWG) comprises representatives of the Ministries of: Agriculture, Water and Irrigation, Environment and Natural Resources, Devolution and Planning, Drought Management Authority, Private Sector, NGOs, Development Partners, Research and Academia. The NAP TWG will be part of the Project Steering Committee. See implementation map in sec. 5.

15 PAGE 14 OF 18 ver. 20 March 2017 The project will be implemented over a three-year period from 2017 to 2019 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)-the GCF Accredited Entity (AE) in collaboration with the Climate Change Directorate (CCD) under the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. A Project Steering Committee (PSC) shall be established to ensure operational effectiveness. The PSC shall be responsible for supervising project implementation and guiding activities through technical backstopping. The PSC shall be the highest decision making organ of the project. It will be co-chaired by the NDA, CCD, and the FAO. The PSC will comprise primary stakeholders of the Readiness project i.e. representatives of the National Designated Authority, Climate Change Directorate, National Adaptation Plan Thematic Working Group, Kenya Private Sector Alliance, Kenya Association of Manufacturers, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and the FAO. To ensure wider stakeholder participation during implementation, the project task teams will hold periodic consultative meetings with the Kenya Climate Change Working Group (KCCWG). KCCWG is a forum that brings together Civil Society Organizations in Kenya, donor partners, government departments and agencies working on climate change. The forum will provide a platform for creating synergies, harmonizing and strengthening of efforts in the implementation of activities, establishing strategic partnerships, accessing climate finance information from donors and lobbying and advocating for favourable national policies. The project s stakeholder engagement mechanism will build on the initial consultative process utilised during the project design and preparation phase. Regular consultation meetings will be held to ensure that all stakeholders are adequately engaged and their views taken into account during implementation. As the AE, the FAO will be responsible for financial management as well as overseeing the implementation and evaluation of the project in coordination with the PSC. All procurement and recruitment processes will be done in accordance with FAO s policies in consultation with the Executing Entity. For purposes of cost containment, the project will be operationally supported by existing staff of the FAO Kenya office. The operations staff will comprise: 1. Operations Assistant 2. Finance Assistant 3. Procurement Assistant The implication is that only a few months (11 months) of staff time will be charged to the project. The costs will be managed from the AE fees. A national consultant (Technical Advisor) will be locally recruited by FAO Kenya office to provide technical oversight and oversee overall implementation of the project. The FAO Kenya office has a Gender Expert who will provide guidance to the Technical Advisor and task teams on integrating gender dimensions into the overall project process. Where necessary or required, technical backstopping support will be sought from FAO Regional Office and/or headquarters. To make implementation of project activities more effective, four task teams/technical working groups shall be established as follows: a) Knowledge Management and Advocacy b) Capacity Building c) Private Sector Engagement d) Evidence-based Results for Adaptation The task teams shall provide technical support towards implementation of the various project components.

Study on Assessing Institutional Barriers for NAP implementation in Kenya s Agricultural Sectors NAP/ DETAILED SCOPE OF WORK FOR THE GCF READINESS SUPPORT PROGRAMME Kenya is already implementing a Readiness programme (direct access and indirect access) focused on: strengthening the capacity of the NDA, institutional capacity building for national Accredited Entities and Executing Entities and preparing country programmes and project pipelines for GCF support. Within the first focus area, the scope of work includes: a) Strengthening of the NDA to be consistent with the Fund s Initial best-practice guidelines; b) Strengthening NDA capacity to fulfil its roles and responsibilities, including to: 1. Provide no objection to the GCF on Kenyan funding proposals in the context of national climate change strategies and plans, including through consultation processes. 2. Facilitate the communication of nominations of prospective public and private sector entities seeking accreditation with the Fund; 3. Seek to ensure consistency of funding proposals from national, sub-national, regional and international intermediaries and implementing entities with national plans and strategies; 4. Implement the no-objection procedure as per the Fund s Initial no-objection procedure; 5. Oversee the implementation of GCF funded projects and programs in the country; 6. Work closely with Accredited Entities to ensure timely execution of projects as well as application of safeguards; 7. Preparation of National Standard Procedures (NSP) and code of conduct for Accredited Entities 8. Convening of stakeholders meetings and/or hearings to raise awareness, popularise proposed projects and programs; 9. Creating a technical working group with different stakeholders to communicate on Kenya and the GCF engagement; c) Strengthen NDA capacity to act as the primary communication channel with the Fund THEORY OF CHANGE The project aims at enhancing capacity for planning and effective implementation of climate change adaptation in Kenya while complementing other ongoing adaptation initiatives. To achieve this goal, four preconditions (intermediate outcomes) need to be fulfilled: 1. Technical and institutional capacities for adaptation planning and implementation enhanced. 2. Knowledge base for adaptation strengthened. 3. Evidence-base for climate change adaptation in agriculture improved and integrated in subsequent NAPs. 4. Private sector actively engaged and investing in the adaptation process. The above outcome areas are informed by the priority actions for the agricultural sector as identified in Kenya s National Adaptation Plan (NAP ) and can be interpreted as the pillars of the ultimate goal. The four outcome areas are currently under-funded yet critical for effective climate risk management. First, adequate capacities are required to

17 PAGE 16 OF 18 ver. 20 March 2017 strengthen integration of climate change adaptation into development planning as well as inform the formulation of bankable adaptation projects/programmes for implementation at the national and county level within the agricultural sector, as well as across sectors. If capacities are strengthened for individuals, institutions and systems, indirect benefits are realized through better knowledge management and improved private sector participation. The consolidation of a knowledge-base on national adaptation planning by promoting the sharing of lessons learnt and best practices ultimately contributes to strengthening the evidence base for adaptation interventions. Since the private sector will be a key stakeholder in outcome 2, we see this as a positive aspect that will catalyse private sector engagement and investment in adaptation as envisioned in outcome 4. Hence the four outcomes are interlinked. To achieve the intermediate outcomes, the project has further identified and prioritized several important interrelated interventions (activities) through national stakeholder consultations with the aim of fostering change in a holistic manner. Details of activities are provided in the theory of change diagram below. Under the first outcome on strengthening capacities at the individual, institutional and systemic levels, the project will build on the on-going capacity development work under the USAID-funded Low Emission Climate Resilient Development (LECRD) project and the integrating agriculture in NAPs project, the latter being a collaborative initiative of the FAO and UNDP Kenya representations. Other activities that will support the realization of this outcome include: reviewing existing training material, developing a capacity development plan, training technical staff in all climate change units at both national and county level, equipping climate change coordination units with data analysis and information management systems, developing guidelines for gender-responsive budgeting and supporting implementation of the Kenya Climate Smart Agriculture Framework Programme (KCSAFP ). Once the climate change coordination units are equipped with data and information management systems, the project will support the establishment of a strong coordination mechanism to ensure that the data and information management systems are linked with national, sectoral as well as county planning processes, and in particular to the 3rd Medium Term Plan (MTP III ), County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs) as well as existing Early Warning Systems. To strengthen the knowledge base for NAPs the project will conduct sensitization forums at both national and county level with a view to creating awareness among all duty bearers. Other activities will entail organizing national and international knowledge exchange forums, establishing a regional knowledge hub for adaptation, developing a compendium of adaptation programmes/projects to guide donor support and to enhance synergistic effects in adaptation planning and implementation. Lastly, in an effort to address the issue of limited/poor coverage of climate change by the local media in developing countries, the project has proposed the establishment of a regional climate change training programme for journalists. The programme will be developed in partnership with media, research and academic institutions. The project will further support the training and certification of journalists on climate change reporting. Activities under this outcome will complement activities proposed under outcomes 1, 3 and 4. Interventions under outcome 3 will contribute to evidence-based decision making for policy makers and development practitioners through a systematic process integrating climate, agriculture and livelihoods data, and carrying out cost benefit analyses that will be used to inform adaptation policies and investment decisions. Interventions under outcome 4 will contribute towards Kenya s INDC which stresses the need to build capacity among private-sector actors and to strengthen private sector participation in climate change adaptation initiatives, independently of whether or not these actors have a built-in social corporate responsibility unit.

19 PAGE 18 OF 18 ver. 20 March 2017 SUSTAINABILITY OF THE PROJECT BEYOND FUNDING PERIOD Sustainability of the project is ensured at different levels. First, the project will be implemented in partnership with functional national institutions and hence ownership is ensured beyond the project s life. A major focus of this Project is to build the knowledge, capacity and institutional structures that Kenya requires to adapt to climate change over the long term. One of its key objectives is to strengthen both vertical and horizontal coordination of climate change adaptation by further establishing better communication channels and capacity for planning across agriculture and environmental (climate change) ministries at national and local level. The institutional sustainability will be ensured by coordinating with other technical working groups established with GCF support. Regarding financial sustainability beyond the project period, strategic partnerships will be identified and nurtured with donors, development partners and the private sector through the vibrant Kenya Climate Change Working Group (KCCWG). This linkage will be pursued through periodic consultative meetings between the technical task teams (established under the project, see implementation arrangement diagram on page 21) and the KCCWG. Donors that participate in the KCCWG meetings include DfID, USAID, DANIDA and SIDA among others. During the meetings, potential funding opportunities will be identified for purposes of upscaling and/or supporting emerging initiatives. Since the forum brings together multiple stakeholders, it provides a good platform for strengthening private sector engagement in adaptation through the establishment of public private partnerships as envisioned under outcome 4. Project concept notes to be developed under activity will be informed by priority needs identified through stakeholder consultations. Other avenues for resource mobilization such as direct support from national and county governments will also be explored. Under outcome 1 for instance, the project will support the establishment of a strong coordination mechanism that will link climate data and information management systems with national and county planning processes such as MTP III and County Integrated Development Plans (CIDPs). The integration of these systems in CIDPs will ensure ownership by county governments. We see this as a positive thing that will foster direct support through national and county budgets. FAO will play a strategic role in providing technical support and in linking national and county governments with donors and development partners. GENDER EQUALITY Gender dimensions have been integrated throughout the project, to ensure that gender issues of climate change are reflected in the knowledge products, as well as to ensure that diverse viewpoints are reflected and different types of actors capacity is strengthened.
