Decentralising Climate Finance: Insights from Kenya and Ethiopia

The paper examines how climate finance is decentralized in Ethiopia and Kenya, specifically analyzing the Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) facility and the County Climate Change Funds (CCCFs). It assesses the extent to which these funds align local community priorities with national climate policies and development plans, focusing on the impact of decision-making authority and jurisdictional levels on investment prioritization.

• The research analyzes the effectiveness of two different fund structures—a national fund in Ethiopia (the Climate Resilient Green Economy facility) and a sub-national fund in Kenya (the County Climate Change Funds)—in balancing local community priorities with national climate change policies and development plans.
• The paper specifically examines how the level of jurisdiction and the identity of the decision-makers influence the process of investment prioritization.
