  • Consultancy – Development of a Green Climate Fund Proposal for Work in the Drylands of Kenya

    Consultancy – Development of a Green Climate Fund Proposal for Work in the Drylands of Kenya

    Background to the Proposed Project
    The goal of the proposed project is to end recurring national drought emergencies in Kenya. This will be achieved, in part, by building the resilience of communities and ecosystems to future climate shocks and stresses, taking into consideration the unique conditions, challenges and opportunities of dry rangelands. These include: climate uncertainty, ecological fragility, seasonal and annual water deficits, historical marginalization, low human capital, large-scale commons, new (but rapidly developing) devolved public structures, and strong cultural grass-roots natural resource management institutions and practices.The proposed project has 4 components:
    Component 1: Drought Risk Management and CoordinationComponent 2: Restoration and Sustainable NRM for both Watershed and Rangeland ManagementComponent 3: Investment and Incentives for Economic Empowerment including Youth and WomenComponent 4: Knowledge Management and Learning for Future Resilience Programming
    The project will be located in thirteen of Kenya’s Arid and Semi-Arid (ASAL) counties: Garissa, Wajir, Mandera, Tana River, Isiolo, Marsabit, Samburu, Kajiado, Kitui, Makueni, Tharaka-Nithi, Meru and Taita Taveta. The project will use an Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) approach with emphasis on integration of restoration and sustainable land management options between natural resource sectors – rangelands, agriculture, forests, and water – as well as mainstreaming rangeland and forest concerns into other sectors such as energy and infrastructure. The project will provide science and policy guidance and dialogue mechanisms to the latter sectors to mitigate the impact of large infrastructure on dry rangeland social and ecological systems.
