Capacity strengthening of community focused groups in Siaya.
The COP27 brought into focus the aspect of locally-led climate financing for community-led climate action, with calls to the state and International agencies/development partners being urged to support such initiatives. In Kenya, the treasury in partnership with the world Bank has put in place the FLLOCA, a devolved funding facility to support locally led climate actions through financing of groups or entities that are engaged in those actions. The facility is managed at the County level, and supports climate actions with the focal county governments.
