COUNTRY CASE STUDY: Kenya

The Government of Kenya has aligned its climate and development goals by using the National Climate Change Action Plan 2018–2022 (NCCAP) to implement both its National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2015–2030 and its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). While alignment is currently achieved primarily through identifying synergies in policy documents, the document suggests that coordination could be further improved through harmonized financing, shared risk information, and coordinated monitoring and evaluation systems.

• Kenya integrates its climate and disaster risk goals through the National Climate Change Action Plan 2018–2022 (NCCAP), which serves as the implementation vehicle for both the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) 2015–2030 and the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The NAP specifically provides the foundation for the adaptation data included in the NDC.
• Current alignment between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), disaster risk management, and adaptation is largely based on identifying synergies within policy and strategy documents. There are identified needs to improve this alignment via better coordination mechanisms, shared climate risk information, harmonized financing strategies, and coordinated monitoring and evaluation.
• Kenya's experience suggests three primary methods for aligning policy processes: utilizing NDC implementation plans to create synergies, using multistakeholder adaptation processes for coordination, and employing common reporting via SDG indicators.
