Kenya national adaptation plan 2015 - 2030. Enhanced climate resilience towards the attainment of vision 2030 and beyond. Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. July 2016

This national adaptation plan (NAP) builds on the foundation laid by the National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS), 2010 and National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP 2013-2017), 2013. The vision of the NAP is enhanced climate resilience towards the attainment of Vision 2030. Enhanced climate resilience includes strong economic growth, resilient ecosystems, and sustainable livelihoods for Kenyans.The NAP is anchored in the Constitution of Kenya and Vision 2030 – Kenya’s blueprint for development. It also aligns itself with the Medium Term Plan (MTP) and Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF) planning processes. The NAP is also aligned with the Climate Change Act that was enacted into law in May 2016. This NAP proposes macro-level adaptation actions and sub-actions in 20 planning sectors, categorising them into short-, medium- and long-term time frames. For each sector, the NAP identifies gaps, estimates costs of the macro-level actions projected to 2030, and identifies key institutions required for their implementation. The NAP proposes adaptation indicators at county, sectoral and national levels for monitoring and evaluation (M&E). These indicators will guide the collection of data and information on adaptation outcomes, which will be aggregated at the national level. These indicators are derived from an adaptation theory of change that is based on the macro-level adaptation actions and the adaptation vision.
