1. INTRODUCTION The Inception workshop on Vertical Integration and Learning for Low-Emission Development (V-LED) in Kenya was organized by the Institute for Law and Environmental Governance (ILEG) in partnership with adelphi Germany GmbH on 24th June 2015 at Panafric Hotel, Nairobi. The workshop brought together twenty three (23) participants drawn from community representatives, civil society, national and county governments, private sector and development partners. This report details the proceedings of the workshop including the background of the project, project activities and outputs, case studies, discussions on the challenges and lessons learnt from other projects, conclusions and way forward.

1.1 Background, Rationale and Objectives The success of a global response to the climate challenge highly depends on the coordinated effort at multiple levels. However, in spite of national climate and green growth targets being put in place, very few countries have been able to establish dynamic vertical policy coordination mechanisms between the national and subnational levels, a prerequisite of integrated climate change policy. Moreover, an increasing number of national and regional support programmes and new funding approaches and initiatives are emerging particularly in industrialized countries seeking to strengthen local climate action through financial and capacity building measures. Efforts to improve enabling conditions for local climate actions are being undertaken and important lessons are starting to emerge: improving planning and implementing capacities in local level governance institutions and initiating and advancing learning exchanges among the institutions. The results of such initiatives are increasingly being fed back into national and international climate policy processes in order to promote their reliability. To contribute to the above global efforts, The Institute for Law and Environmental Governance (ILEG) and adelphi Germany GmbH are partnering in implementing an International Climate Change Initiative (IKI) on “Strengthening national and county capacities to promote climate resilient low carbon development at county level in Kenya: Learning through exchange and networking.” This is a four-year (2015–2019) project funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB). ILEG is the implementing partner in Kenya under the global consortium led by adelphi Germany GmbH. Other partners are the UN Habitat/Regional office for Asia and the Pacific (partner for Philippines and Vietnam), Sustainable Energy Africa (partner for South Africa) and ONE World Sustainable Investments (partner for South Africa). The overall project goal is to contribute to the achievement of national climate-resilient low-carbon targets and priorities. County governments in Kenya are crucial in national climate policy, with decisive roles in the country’s climate-resilient low-carbon development and strong


potential to promote efforts towards achieving national and global mitigation goals. The project intends to be implemented in two counties in Kenya, possibly Siaya and Kwale. As one of the project activities, ILEG and adelphi organized a one-day inception workshop to present the project to the stakeholders to seek convergence with the ongoing initiatives, whilst exploring the gaps, barriers, and challenges encountered in achieving low carbon development. It was envisaged that this would help align the project’s priorities with national and county climate change adaptation and low-carbon development planning priorities in Kenya and promote the exchange of good practice through knowledge exchange amongst national and sub national decision makers.

1.2. Opening Remarks and Agenda Setting (i) Mr. Benson Ochieng’ - Executive Director, ILEG Mr. Ochieng was moderator of the workshop. He welcomed the participants and led them through introductions. He then explained agenda of the workshop with emphasis on the importance of promoting low carbon development strategies and efficient utilization of the little available resources to deal with climate change and ensure sustainable development.

This session provided an opportunity for participants to propose themes or dialogue issues for discussion (Annex 1). Such issues included:

• Ensuring renewable and sustainable energy production that will benefit low carbon emission at local level.

• There is an alarming increase in the number of vehicles in the country increasing the demand parking spaces and emission of harmful gases.

• Ensuring regional planning for management of mangroves in Kenya and involving the local communities in the management process.

• How will the project involve the community in low carbon development? How effective

are the approaches we are using to reach them? How will the project maintain their interests and willingness to participate?

• Efforts should be made in the agriculture sector to change the mindset of communities to adopt climate smart agricultural activities. How are these communities involved? It was noted that there is low adoption of technologies on food security issues.

• Ensuring proper integration of climate change policy plans at the local level.


• How to respond to issues related to oil and gas and mainstreaming climate change issues. Important also to note was how do the national and county policies address the issue of oil explorations.

• Proper assessments of the proposed mining sites and sharing of the EIA report before license issuance.

• Inadequate use of knowledge generated because of poor knowledge sharing • Poor technological resources especially in rural areas • Integrating policy into County Integrated Development Plans (CIDP) for effective low

carbon development and formulate and integrate county level indicators and into CIDPs. • Lobbying the Senate to develop legislation on LED • Explore and promote green projects in the counties by ensuring involvement of the

private sector, women and the youth.

(ii) Dr. Alice Kaudia – Environment Secretary Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources

Dr. Kaudia officially opened the workshop. She emphasized the need to deal with environmental issues now in order to ensure sustainable development. She acknowledged that vertical integration of information is good, however there is need to be specific on the issues to be integrated to ensure sharing of knowledge and experiences. Kenya has been engaging with sustainable development concerns since the 80’s. The country has formulated policies and strategies on green economy and made progress in tackling climate change but a lot more needs to be done.

The Environment Secretary explained that devolution has seen Kenya progress but still coordination mechanisms are an issue. The launching of the V-LED project is therefore a very good addition in supporting Kenya handle climate change issues. Innovation and entrepreneurship is a key area in Kenya’s economic growth and the youth especially are coming up with new innovations that can help transform Kenya from a brown to green economy. Hence there is a need for skill development targeting youths and the women at large. This may be done by opening learning opportunities for the youth focusing on climate response action and forming youth groups to carry out environmental activities such as restoration of degraded landscapes and urban rivers. According to Dr. Kaudia, annual climate change knowledge sharing forums can play a major role in the project. Exchange visits including policy makers like chief officers from county governments would be important in enhancing knowledge and information sharing. The Environment Secretary then declared the workshop officially open.


2. PROCEEDINGS

2.1. Session I: Background of the IKI project and implementation framework in Kenya

2.1.1. Background and overview of the IKI project Johara Bellali, Senior Project Manager, adelphi

Ms. Bellali gave an overview of adelphi research and overview of the IKI project. About adelphi Germany GmbH adelphi is a leading think tank for policy analysis and strategy consulting founded in 2001 in Berlin. It offers creative solutions and services on global environment and development challenges for policy, business and civil society communities. Projects run under adelphi give contributions to sustaining natural life systems and fostering sustainable enterprise. Adelphi has realized more than 700 projects for 130

clients, offering professional and strategic support to crucial environment and development policies and processes. These include numerous projects on climate mitigation, adaptation and vertical policy coordination in Africa and Asia including the four countries chosen for this project. Moreover, adelphi offers broad-based specialized expertise and hands-on practical experience with regard to the design and implementation of the “National Climate Initiative” projects. Their main integration approach is a combination of research, consulting and dialogue of six main topic areas including:

• Development/Security • Climate /Energy • Technology/Innovation • Resource/Governance • Policy analysis/Economics • Business/Finance

Under the project, adelphi is in charge of the overall supervision and management of the project and will coordinate cooperation amongst all implementing partners. In addition, adelphi is responsible for overall project communication and knowledge management activities. It is the lead partner regarding project outputs on international and regional good practice exchanges and the conceptualization of studies.


Overview of the project Ms. Bellali explained that the V-LED project, to run from 2015 to 2019, has at its core the stimulation and support of learning, and sharing of knowledge and experience. It will be implemented in the Philippines, Vietnam, Kenya, and South Africa. In order to obtain cohesive climate action, it is as essential for national priorities to guide the countries ‘development pathway as for local experiences to be fed into the highest decision-making bodies. Thus, the V-LED project is setting out to support the alignment of multi-level efforts and institutionalise a dynamic vertical pillar of coordination between national and subnational actors. So as to harness the local potential and experience of subnational governments, V-LED sustains a learning platform for the transfer of knowledge and good low-emission experiences between actors playing a role in low emission development at the subnational level. The Senior Project Manager explained the key project activities under the following pillars: (i) vertical, (ii) horizontal; (iii) capacity strengthening; and (iv) Regional and global component (i) Vertical pillar: vertical integrated low emission development The consortium will organize multi-level dialogues between national partners and key government, non-governmental organizations and private actors shaping climate action at the subnational level, to stimulate the vertical coordination mechanisms. The specific key activities will be dialogue events, hold a regional conference and workshop on lessons learning. (ii) Horizontal pillar: Harnessing local experience and innovative potential The consortium and its partners will forge cooperation and promote the adoption of feasible solutions through good practice exchanges. Learning will be promoted at the subnational level on mainstreaming climate change into planning and implementation. Specific activities will be good practice exchange visits and strengthening of existing networks. (iii) Capacity strenghtening

Specific activities under this pillar include development and publication of a climate mainstreaming guide in each country to support planning, coordination and implementation of climate-resilient low-carbon development policies in the subnational public administrations responsible for local climate policies. The design of the guide will be country-specific and encompass – in line with country-specific climate priorities, strategies and legislation – technical, legal, financial, planning and process-oriented elements. Low emission development in sectors such as local energy provision, mobility, waste, sanitation, green procurement, climate smart agriculture will be touched upon. Secondly, a training programme will be developed including a Training of Trainers (ToTs) component and conducting of training seminars for government representatives in subnational


administrations. The training aims to enable selected subnational government representatives to use and apply the climate mainstreaming guide for more effective climate-resilient low-carbon development planning and implementation. The training programme will be country-specific and based on the country-specific mainstreaming guide. It will be developed in modular form. The implementing partners are in charge of conceptualization, development and publication of the training programme, in close cooperation with other relevant stakeholders such as local training academies and external short term experts. (iv) Regional and global component This will involve linking the project to the regional and global debate on local carbon development and climate change through applied research to touch upon existing global knowledge gaps. Two regional conferences (one in Southern/East Africa and one in Southeast Asia) and a study tour will be conducted to foster regional networking and exchange of good practices.

2.1.2. IKI project implementation framework in Kenya - Titus Wamae, Project Manager, ILEG Mr. Wamae gave an overview of the project outline for the Kenya component of the global IKI project (Annex 2). This tentative work plan for the implementation of the project in the Kenyan context provides the frame within which the project can be defined to achieve the following outputs. This outline is presented in Annex 2. a) Output 1 – Strengthen capacity of national and county government in local climate action

planning and coordination through regular information and knowledge exchange. b) Output 2 – Develop mainstreaming guide/tools to help county government integrate national

LED goals and priorities into their key development plans and local climate policy planning instruments

c) Output 3 – Training and good practice exchanges in Siaya and Kwale County to strengthen

its representatives in good planning and implementing of county climate resilient LED policy d) Output 4 – Provide a platform for exchange of experiences among national and local

government representatives of Kenya and South Africa. e) Output 5 – Applied research and documentation of experiences developed and shared with

key international stakeholders to increase knowledge transfer on effective local climate-resilient low-carbon development


The role of this inception workshop is to provide participants a platform to suggest missing links, gaps and need in the national debate around green growth and climate strategies within the devolution of Kenya’s governance system. The inception workshop aimed to motivate exchange of knowledge, learning and explore collaboration opportunities between existing initiatives for the next four years.

2.1.3. Plenary Discussions Participants were engaged in discussions on the project implementation framework. Issues of discussion included: strategies for engaging the national government, county governments of Kwale and Siaya and communities; need to create synergy on the ongoing national and county policy, programmes and legislative process; communication and sharing of information; role of research in the project; and sustainability of the project. Participants stressed the importance of implementing the project within the national and county governments framework to ensure ownership and sustainability. Identifying and mapping key stakeholders and ongoing initiatives on LED in the county would provide opportunities for synergy and networking in order to achieve the project objectives. Participants lamented that there is a lot going on in the country by different organizations but information is not shared. It was also noted that the best starting point for the project implementation is to identify key actions in the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) and the Green growth Action Plan to be implemented by the county governments in relation to LED. On communication, participants emphasized the need to simplify information to be shared by different stakeholders. Various information platforms could be used such as regular periodical newsletters, flyers and local media through both mass and print. The local media stations would play a critical role in awareness creation on LED in the country. It is necessary to tap on the indigenous knowedge from communities by documenting and sharing to help learn best practices. Communities know the issues they are facing and the kind of assistance that they need. There are various ongoing national and county governments processes and initiatives related to climate change and LED that are critical for the success of the project including:

• the climate change bill and policy; • climate smart programme by the Ministry of Agriculture; • adaptation to climate change insurance in Busia county by the Ministry of Agriculture; • Strengthening Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change in Kenya (StARCK +).

Mapping of the existing toolkits/guides/manuals related to climate change would provide the basis for the content of the climate change mainstreaming toolkit to be developed under the project. Already there exist toolkits on climate change developed by stakeholders including:

• Kenya Green Economy Strategy and Implementation Plan (GESIP) being developed by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources;

• the Guidelines on the Free, Prior and Informed Consent by the UN-REDD Programme;


• Cities Alliance Tools by UNOPS and the World Bank; Solutions Gateways by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI);1

• Guidebook to the Green by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA); Green Growth tool box by GIZ.

Project exit and sustainability was discussed by the participants. Participants agreed that it is necessary to develop a clear project exit strategy that would be implemented at the end of project so as to sustain county efforts towards achieving low carbon. Involving the county officers particularly the County Executive Officers (CEOs) in the implementation of the project would provide not only ownership, but also sustainability of the project. Influencing national and county budgets to have allocations for climate change and LED is another key strategy for ensuring sustainability of the project. Lastly, applied research is a critical component of the project. According to the participants, applied research may not serve the best purpose of creating awareness and building capacity of the county project areas and at national level on LED. It was suggested that documenting sharing best practices and lessons learnt in simplified information packages would help increase awareness on LED in the counties and at national level.

2.2. Session II: Case studies

2.2.1. Strengthening Adaptation and Resilience to Climate Change in Kenya (StARCK +) by Victor Orindi This is a pilot project to prepare counties to access climate finance and help them mainstream climate in planning in support of adaptation for resilient economic development and poverty reduction. The project started in the former Ministry for Arid and semi-arid areas facing more challenges in adaptation to drought. The project is being implemented in Isiolo. Some work has also been done in Garrissa, Kitui and Makueni. Mr. Orindi acknowledged the challenge of creating synergies with projects/work already going on at the national level. He noted that supporting counties to access climate finance and mainstream climate in planning is a big challenge. Key principles in the project included:

• Majority of funds are prioritised by representative Ward committees • Public good investments to support dominant economy, build peace and climate

resilience and complement County Integrated Development Plans (CIDP) • Sustainability and value for money • Modalities consistent with public finance

1 ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability is the world’s leading network of over 1,000 cities, towns and

metropolises committedto buildinga sustainable future.


• Flexible with strong checks-balances In terms of project implementation, Mr. Orindi explained that in Isiolo before county adaptation

funds are disbursed, communities are trained on basic finance management. Initially there was a disconnect between the communities and the project. The CAP funds are received from DFID through Ada and other climate diverse sources. The funds are then channelled through the count adaptation planning commits to ward adaptation planning committees elected by the local community. This process provides accountability for the funds. At each level there are cross-county consultations and cross-ward consultations respectively. Source: Victor Orindi, 2015 Between 2013 and 2014, 70% of Ksh 65,000,000 for the Isiolo County Adaptation Fund (CAF) was disbursed towards ward investments, 10% toward administration and the remaining 20% was the county adaptation funds budget. The funds covered various sectors including the livestock sector through rehabilitation and equipping the Kinna livestock veterinary laboratory, development of 3 livestock safe handling facilities in Kinna ward, facilitation of vaccination campaigns and development of county livestock strategy. On Natural Resources Management (NRM) the contributed towards strengthening local NRM institutions and governance systems, collecting and collating traditional rules and regulations and community resource mapping. The project supported provision of range water through the rehabilitation of 4 strategic water pans and 6 sand dams, blocking of Yamicha river pan Cherab ward, development of new water points

in strategic grazing reserves (bambot borehole, 5 sand dams in Oldonyiro, 2 shallow wells in Sericho), building the capacity of water management communities, and digital participatory community resources mapping.

Success stories include good progress in mainstreaming the combined approach that includes CIS, CAF regulations and commitment and early evidence that Ward Administrative Project Committees (WAPC) are able to deliver projects with high adaptation impact and cost-effectively. Counties have realized the importance of the project and have invested in it. Empowering the communities to do something enables them to work with good impact and positive results using simple and more effective means. Challenges faced include maintaining the interest of county government officials, ground coordination for people to work in existing structures and having people to prepare in advance and come up with more realistic expectations. Mr. Ondiri noted that participatory processes are expensive and need a lot of resources and goodwill. For more information visit: www.adaconsortium.org

2.2.2. Plenary Discussions Issues discussed included project governance and sustainability, project ownership, and ensuring project impacts. To ensure good governance and accountability, the StARCK + project started by facilitating the establishment and strengthening community institutions for the implementation of the project. The institutions embrace key values through respected leaders form the communities elected democratically based on integrity, practicality and dependence. Capacities of the communities were also enhanced on basic financial management to ensure accountability. The project created a linkage between the national, county and community levels to ensure reflection of all the stakeholders.


Addressing challenges such as maintaining the interest of county government officials, Mr. Orindi explained the need to have ground coordination and dealing with communities expectation in order to have a common understanding on the realistic project goals and objectives.

2.2.3. Mainstream green growth and LEDP objectives at national and sub-national levels by Morel Fourman CEO and Eubert Espira, Gaiasoft The main target of the project is to provide a reliable monitoring and tracking tool for efficiency and effectiveness. The objectives include:

• Aligning political leadership and service delivery for the benefit of citizens • Ensuring that priority projects are monitored and managed simply and effectively • To save time, effort and cost while ensuring effective development and service delivery. • Deliver on the promise of devolution for all counties and all Kenyans.

Tools created for implementation include: a) County Integrated Monitoring and Evaluation System (CIMES)

• To set up CIMES in the county levels there is a 10 step guide to achieving this, they include:

• Conduct a readiness assessment • Formulate outcomes and goals • Select outcome indicators to monitor/evaluate • Gather baseline data on the current condition • Set targets and timelines • Regularly collect data to assess whether targets are met • End term/ Mid-term evaluation • Analyze and Report the results • Using the results findings • Sustaining the M&E system

b) Annual Development Plan (ADP) to Performance Management System (PMS) The plan would be implemented in three phases to achieve the objectives above: Phase A will include preparation for the PMS by identifying “vital few” high-priority projects as according to the 80/20 principle, time and budget invested in 20% of the projects can result in 80% impact on the lives of citizens hence making it highly important to select the “vital few” project that have maximum impact. The phase will also include defining performance contract operations, nominating accountable officers and train efficiency officers and other users.


Phase B will involve action learning in the county which will be a 5 day activity whereby afterward the Governors’ office, County Secretary and Chief Officers supported by daily work of efficiency officers and prompts of the online system must ensure that PMS way of working is followed. Finally Phase C will involve sustaining the PMS which will involve monitoring/evaluation/approval, M&E reporting, county level evaluations, internal audits, giving half year progress reports and additional reports as per the requirements of the country and full year reports whereby KENAO conducts annual audits for the results, evidence, value for money, PMS system, timelines, completeness of reporting and degree of delegation.

2.2.4. Plenary Discussions The project is designed to help as many counties as possible to become resilient and committed to creating enabling tools. Using the tool in the project with proper techniques and ways of sharing knowledge can help scale down climate change. It was noted that knowledge platforms create data entry forms that help to identify gaps between what is expected and what is already done. The project therefore will enable creation of solutions for sustainable, resilient cities and so better lives for people. The cost of sharing information is not high as information once shared is free. Just need proper facilitation and passing channels for the knowledge. For the rural areas where there is now network, Mr. Fourman explained that a local dominal server can be used to connect to the computer computer. There is no need for internet services to receive data and 3G connectivity is efficient enough. The project has been piloted in in Kakamega, Bomet, Mandera, Taita Taveta and Kiambu counties. A consultative meeting for County Secretaries was held at Boma hotel to help them understand the project before rolling out in other counties.

2.3. Session III: Challenges and Opportunities This session was organized for discussions around 3 themes in plenary. (i) Theme 1: Coordination and stakeholder engagement at county level. There is a lot to learn and contribute from the grass roots level all the way up. Stakeholders roles should be clear in order to maintain their interest. Activities carried out should also be scalable and create a network including purpose, areas, subareas and donors so as to avoid duplicated efforts. There is need to consider the NCCAP and to work with the government and CSOs. Also important is to determine the country’s low carbon emission baseline and provide tangible interventions from the grassroot. The need to reach out to Greening Kenya Initiative to create a platform to exchange experiences was suggested.


(ii) Theme 2: Legal and policy framework for low carbon development The climate change bill is at the Senate level while the policy has not been approved by the Cabinet. Therefore the important entry point is to ensure the implementation of the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS) Action Plan in the counties through incorporation in the County Integrated Development plans (CIDPs) for county actions and involvement down to the lower levels. The country has enough legislation and policies, critical is the need to follow through on the implementation. There is a lot of opportunity to influence people on policy and legal frameworks on LED and get their interests through public participation and keeping them involved. (iii) Theme 3: Capacity needs in low carbon development planning. Literacy levels on low emission development is very low in Kenya, hence the need to build capacity of stakeholders both at the national and county levels. One way is to develop climate change literacy outreaches to be conducted from national level to county levels or city levels. Conducting a needs assessment could be the first step in identifying the areas to focus on and how best to deal with barriers and challenges.

3.0 CONCLUSION In conclusion the participants supported the V-LED project and committed to support the implementation in Kenya. They agreed that indeed the project could strengthen national government and the Kwale and Siaya counties on local climate action planning, coordination and implementation capacities and therefore improve vertical policy coordination between national and county policy-makers and ultimately contribute to the achievement of national climate-resilient low-carbon targets and priorities.
