In April 2010 the Government of Kenya published the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS). This was a thorough and comprehensive assessment of the issues that climate change raises in the country, and presented a detailed implementation and resource mobilisation plan. This included the identification of adaptation and mitigation measures at an annual average cost of some US$ 3bn over the next 20 years.

Further reflection on the NCCRS has led the Government of Kenya to identify the intermediate actions that are needed in order to make coordinated and practical progress.

CDKN, together with DFID, AFD and other potential donor programmes, has been approached to support and co-fund the development of this Action Plan.  The Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) is also supporting Kenya in this process, as a leading practice example that can be shared and replicated more widely across Africa.

In order to initiate these proceedings, CDKN is managing a procurement process to identify potential suppliers who may be interested in delivering this exciting and challenging Action Plan with the Government of Kenya.
