Emerged out of pilots on County Climate Change funds and WB technical assistance on devolution. Supports devolution and deepens community participation and citizen engagement below county level to reach wards and villages. Platform for GOK multi-sector and lti- donor engagement to step up and translate Kenya’s climate ambitions into act on on the ground (NCCAP).

Program Participatory ClimateRisk Aims to empower communities to understand the climate risks they face and assess their ability to manage these risks and undertaking concrete local climate actions. Assessment and Action Planning Model KEY STEPS OF THE MODEL: Community/Ward- level sensitization and participatory climate risk assessments: Facilitates participants in community consultation for a at ward level to discuss and develop a set of storylines and corresponding adaptation activities Ward climate action plan development: Involves prioritization of actions to strengthen resilience to develop ward- level climate action plan. 1 County Climate Resilience Investment (CCRI) Plans. 2 3 4 5 A technical review of the proposals meet the technical and strategic criteria of CCCF, and any adjustments required based on the technical review agreed at the Ward level. Provides the basis for communities to propose priority investments as part of the participatory planning process.
