3. Background Kenya deposited its NAP at the UNFCCC NAP central in 2016 The NAP establishes high-level adaptation actions in 20 planning sectors over a 15-year time frame. Short, medium and long term priorities Provides guidance to national and county governments on priority actions for mainstreaming adaptation Participatory process Based on vulnerability and risk assessment

4. Implementation The Climate Change Act (2016) requires the development of a National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) every five years NCCAP 2013-2017, 2018–2022, 2023-2027 prioritizes adaptation, and sets out priority actions to deliver on the Kenya National Adaptation Plan 2015–2030 (NAP) and NDC for the five-year period. Kenya County Climate Change Fund (CCCF) mechanism piloted in five counties: devolved finance mechanisms under the authority of  county government to mainstream adaptation into local planning and budgets Example - Financing Locally-Led Climate Action ( FLLoCA ) Program: aims to deliver locally led climate resilience actions linked to national priorities Participatory Climate Risk Assessment (PCRA) and County Climate Action Plan (CCAP) – Feed into the NCCAP

5. Financing the NAP Investment plans Adaptation financing still lags behind mitigation Globally and nationally – mitigation receive more Kenya climate finance landscape done for 2018 – 2019 – 80% to mitigation Programming approach – Several projects and programmes across sectors Innovative financial instruments -

6. Challenges Costing of adaptation Tracking of adaptation finance Inadequate financial resources to support implementation Effective coordination – Climate change units – staffing, resources and technical capacity MEL of adaptation

7. Lessons learnt Decentralize financing – sub national contribution Investment plans – NCCAP III, New NDC, LTS Development of the climate finance landscape reports Implementation status reports of the NCCAP Establishment and capacity building of the of the climate change units
