Green Growth: Kenyan CSOs review key policy framework, report

Members of NECSA-Kenya reviewed and submitted comments on the draft Green Fiscal Incentives Policy Framework and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) report. 

 

The Green Fiscal Incentives Policy Framework is set to guide Kenya's transition to a

sustainable path in five thematic areas: sustainable infrastructure development, building resilience, sustainable natural resources management, resource efficiency, and social inclusion and sustainable livelihood. The framework will provide guidelines on increasing private financing of climate action, spurring green innovation and technology development, and improving green fiscal consolidation. 

 

The CSO Alliance also reviewed and submitted comments on the Report On Kenya’s Accession to the Establishment Agreement of the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI).  The GGGI is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization that supports developing countries' transition to a model of economic growth that is environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive. 

 

This is at the heart of Kenya’s commitment to achieving a green economy and we continue to support these efforts. 

 

“Involving CSOs in the policy-making process is vital to ensure that the needs of indigenous people and local communities are met. A strong and empowered civil society is key to bringing about a more sustainable world,” Joyce Lagat, Project Coordinator (Kenya), ASI Programme.
