This technical brief presents the findings of a 2023 longitudinal study assessing nine public good climate investments in water infrastructure in Isiolo County, Kenya. These investments, implemented between 2014 and 2016 via the County Climate Change Fund (CCCF), were evaluated for their functionality and governance nine years after implementation to provide insights into the sustainability of locally-led adaptation (LLA) projects.

This report by the Institute for Security Studies examines the evolution of countering violent extremism (CVE) in Kenya, moving from primarily military-based responses to a multi-sectoral approach. It evaluates the experiences of state and non-state actors, the implementation of the National Strategy to Counter Violent Extremism (NSCVE), and the development of County Action Plans (CAPs) in high-risk regions.

This document contains the minutes of two public baseline consultation meetings held on 11 November 2018 in Yaq Barsadi (Isiolo County) and 13 November 2018 in Mwanarafa Hall (Lamu County). These meetings were part of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the proposed Lokichar to Lamu Crude Oil Pipeline (LLCOP) project in Kenya, aimed at informing stakeholders about the project and gathering community concerns.

This case study describes the experience of Edward Ndolo, a retired police officer in Kitui, Kenya, who implemented road water harvesting on his 3-acre farm to combat low rainfall and climate change. By diverting road runoff through a channel—including one crossing a neighbor's land—Ndolo has increased his agricultural productivity and profitability compared to neighboring farmers who do not use the technique.

This case study describes a peer-to-peer exchange between Nepal and Kenya focused on devolved climate finance and locally-led adaptation (LLA). It examines the challenges Nepal faces in accessing climate finance at the municipal level and explores how Kenya's Financing Locally-Led Climate Actions (FLLoCA) model and County Climate Change Funds (CCCF) could provide a blueprint for Nepal to empower local governments and communities in climate resilience efforts.

Minutes from a public consultation meeting held on 13 November 2018 at Boji Primary School in Isiolo County, Kenya, regarding the proposed Lokichar to Lamu Crude Oil Pipeline (LLCOP) project. The meeting, conducted by Golder Associates and ESF Consultants, aimed to inform stakeholders about the project's scope, the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) process, and to gather community feedback.

This executive summary reports on a 2024 study commissioned by Natural Justice to assess the state of the Climate Justice Movement (CJM) in Kenya. The study involved 404 survey responses, 19 key informant interviews, and 12 focus group discussions across six regional economic blocs. It finds that while the CJM has a strong grassroots presence and has influenced national and county policies, it is currently hindered by internal fragmentation, leadership disputes, and limited funding. The document outlines the movement's composition, its role in monitoring government climate finance, and the legal frameworks—such as the Climate Change Act of 2016—that govern climate action in Kenya.
