CDKN’s support strengthened the ‘community of practice’ working on community based adaptation (CBA) by facilitating their engagement with policy-makers and practitioners working on traditional adaptation practices.

In considering mitigation actions, policy makers not only need to consider the costs and benefits of embarking on a low carbon development path, they also need to consider the socio-economic implications of any action. CDKN is supporting a research project which will develop cutting edge methodologies to link sectoral and economy wide models in order to address issues critical to the development of climate-compatible policy.

With support from CDKN, The Gambia revised its medium term plan - the Programme for Accelerated Growth and Employment (PAGE) - to integrate climate change into policies and actions. This was the first step towards developing a climate change strategy for the country.

CDKN will be providing in-depth support to low carbon development in Peru (Climate-Change Plan), specifically through the Mitigation Action Plans and Scenarios (MAPS) process, which constitutes Phase 1 of the CCPlan.

The MAPS-Chile project will develop emission trajectories through research, modelling, and simulation results.

The Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) 2: Lighting Africa is a joint World Bank and International Finance Corporation programme, which works as a catalyst to make quality off-grid lighting products accessible to energy-poor households in several regions of the continent.

Subcomponent 8 of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) Action Plan for Kenya will research and scope an appropriate financial mechanism for channeling climate finance in Kenya. It will also design and embed the mechanism for implementation.

Subcomponent 4 of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) Action Plan focuses on developing priority Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs).

Subcomponent 3 of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) Action Plan for Kenya will design and deliver a National Adaptation Plan for Kenya in alignment with national priorities.

Subcomponent 2 of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) Action Plan exists to design and deliver a Climate Change Policy for Kenya with a supporting Regulatory Framework.

Subcomponent 1 of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) Action Plan for Kenya focuses on mainstreaming climate change into the projects planned in Kenya's economic blue print - Vision 2030.

The Co-ordination subcomponent of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) Action Plan. This work will support the Climate Change Secretariat in the Ministry for Environment and Mineral Resources (MEMR), Government of Kenya, to implement the 8 thematic subcomponents of the Action Plan.
