In a move to reaffirm and empower locally led climate action, the National Treasury has disbursed KShs 6.97  billion to 42 counties as part of the second tranche of the County Climate Resilience Investment (CCRI) Grants under the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) Program.

This substantial investment not only marks a significant milestone in Kenya’s climate financing architecture but also reinforces the country’s commitment to locally-led, community-driven climate action.

Supported by the Government of Kenya, the World Bank, and the Governments of Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands, the CCRI Grants respond to the urgent need for effective, locally-led climate actions.

The funding allows County Governments to operationalize their County Climate Change Action Plans (CCCAPs) and invest in priority climate resilience initiatives tailored to their unique climate vulnerabilities, ultimately advancing a more sustainable and climate secure future for all.

According to Hon. FCPA: John Mbadi Ng’ongo, EGH -Cabinet Secretary, the National Treasury & Economic Planning, this second disbursement reinforces a dedication to empowering County Governments as key drivers of climate resilience.

The CCRI Grants represent a bottom-up approach to climate finance, enabling County Governments and local communities to take the lead in designing and implementing tailored projects that address local climate risks and build climate change resilience for long-term sustainability.

This disbursement for the 2024/25 financial year is set to empower communities most vulnerable to climate change to drive sustainable development and long-term resilience.

“By channelling resources directly to the local level, we are strengthening institutional capacity, accelerating adaptation efforts, and ensuring that climate action delivers tangible benefits to communities most at risk,” said Hon Mbadi.

FLLoCA progress speaks volumes: to date, the program has achieved remarkable national coverage, reaching 1,137 wards (78.4%) of its 1,450-ward target. Each new ward represents another community equipped to write its own climate resilience story.

The CCRI Grants are performance-based and results-driven. This disbursement round follows the Second Annual Performance Assessment (APA), a rigorous evaluation used to determine counties’ compliance with the Minimum Performance Conditions (MPCs) set out in the FLLoCA Grants Manual. Only 42 counties that met the required benchmarks qualified for this round of funding.

Dr. Chris Kiptoo, Principal Secretary of the National Treasury, pointed out that the Annual Performance Assessment process has been instrumental in ensuring that CCRI Grant allocations are grounded in accountability, readiness, and local ownership.

“Building on the foundation laid by the Participatory Climate Risk Assessment, this approach empowers counties to lead climate action through inclusive planning that reflects the unique needs and voices of their communities,” said Kiptoo.

To support effective utilization of the CCRI Grants, FLLoCA will continue to provide technical assistance, capacity-building, and knowledge support to County Governments throughout implementation.
