“Today marks an important milestone for Kenya as we receive Approval for Kenya’s Investment Plan for the Nature, People and Climate Program by the Climate Investment Funds. This approval is significant as it unlocks additional resources for the Country to leverage on its natural resource conservation agenda targeting the two critical landscapes of Lake Victoria South and Ewaso Ngiro North. The resources bolster the Government of Kenya’s plans and efforts for landscape restoration and climate adaptation and mitigation as envisioned in the National Landscapes and Ecosystem Restoration Strategy 2023 -2032, the National Climate Change Action Plan III 2023- 2027 and Kenya’s updated Nationally Determined Contribution. I am grateful to the Climate Investment Funds for this grant and the three implementing Multilateral Development Banks- the World Bank, African Development Bank & the International Finance Cooperation who shall play the co-financing and implementation roles, and for their support in the investment plan development. I also commend the National Environment Trust Fund (NETFUND) for leading the development of this Investment Plan.”
