Decentralising Climate Finance: Insights from Kenya and Ethiopia

This research paper examines mechanisms for decentralizing climate finance to local levels, specifically analyzing the Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) facility in Ethiopia and the County Climate Change Funds (CCCFs) in Kenya to evaluate how local community priorities are balanced with national policies.

• The paper analyzes two distinct models of climate finance decentralization: a national fund, the Climate Resilient Green Economy (CRGE) facility in Ethiopia, and a sub-national model, the County Climate Change Funds (CCCFs) in Kenya.
• The research evaluates the effectiveness of these funds in integrating the priorities of local communities with national development plans and climate change policies.
• The study specifically investigates the impact of decision-making authority—including who makes the decisions, the level of jurisdiction, and the process used—on the prioritization of investments.
