The National Treasury has disbursed Kshs 6.97 billion to 42 counties as part of the second tranche of the County Climate Resilience Investment (CCRI) Grants under the Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) Program. This substantial investment marks a significant milestone in Kenya’s climate financing architecture, reinforcing the country’s commitment to locally-led, community-driven climate action.
Supported by the Government of Kenya, the World Bank, and the Governments of Germany, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands, the CCRI Grants respond to the urgent need for effective, locally-led climate actions. The funding allows County Governments to operationalize their County Climate Change Action Plans (CCCAPs) and invest in priority climate resilience initiatives tailored to their unique climate vulnerabilities, ultimately advancing a more sustainable and climate secure future for all.
The CCRI Grants represent a bottom-up approach to climate finance, enabling County Governments and local communities to take the lead in designing and implementing tailored projects that address local climate risks and build climate change resilience for long term sustainability. This disbursement for the 2024/25 financial year will empowers communities most vulnerable to climate change to drive sustainable development and long-term resilience. Our progress speaks volumes: to date, the program has achieved remarkable national coverage, reaching 1,137 wards (78.4%) of our 1,450-ward target. Each new ward represents another community equipped to write its own climate resilience story.
“This second disbursement reinforces our dedication to empowering County Governments as key drivers of climate resilience. By channelling resources directly to the local level, we are strengthening institutional capacity, accelerating adaptation efforts, and ensuring that climate action delivers tangible benefits to communities most at risk,” said Hon. FCPA: John Mbadi Ng’ongo, EGH -Cabinet Secretary, The National Treasury & Economic Planning.
The CCRI Grants are performance-based and results-driven. This disbursement round follows the Second Annual Performance Assessment (APA), a rigorous evaluation used to determine counties’ compliance with the Minimum Performance Conditions (MPCs) set out in the FLLoCA Grants Manual. Only 42 counties that met the required benchmarks qualified for this round of funding.
“The Annual Performance Assessment process has been instrumental in ensuring that CCRI Grant allocations are grounded in accountability, readiness, and local ownership. Building on the foundation laid by the Participatory Climate Risk Assessment, this approach empowers counties to lead climate action through inclusive planning that reflects the unique needs and voices of their communities,” said Dr. Chris Kiptoo, Principal Secretary, The National Treasury.
To support effective utilization of the CCRI Grants, FLLoCA will continue to provide technical assistance, capacity-building, and knowledge support to County Governments throughout implementation.

The Financing Locally-Led Climate Action (FLLoCA) Program stands as a flagship initiative in Kenya’s response to climate change, anchored in the principles of devolution, inclusion, and resilience. Aligned with the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA), the program has empowered all 47 counties to enact County Climate Change Fund Acts, unlocking Kshs 7.94 billion in county allocations for community-prioritized investments in water, agriculture, and environmental restoration. Through these efforts, over 503 climate resilience sub-projects have been completed with 558 on going, directly benefiting 1.146 million Kenyans and creating more than 57,000 jobs, including for youth, women, and marginalized groups. FLLoCA’s focus on climate-smart agriculture has restored 27,640 hectares of land and provided technical training to farmers, 2245 first cycle pipeline sub-projects of which 51 percent are focused on the water sector, 28 percent on environment, 13 percent on agriculture, and 8 percent on other sectors, including energy.
Beyond investments, FLLoCA is strengthening governance and accountability by capacitating Ward Climate Change Planning Committees, County Climate Change Units, and county steering committees to drive inclusive climate planning. Innovative tools like geospatial monitoring and early warning systems are now protecting lives in drought- and flood-prone regions, while partnerships with civil society and development partners—including the World Bank, KfW, Sweden, and Denmark—have mobilized over Kshs 30 billion for the program. As 1061 more projects move into implementation under the Climate Resilience Investment Grants, FLLoCA remains a cornerstone of Kenya’s climate strategy—a bold promise of a climate-resilient, inclusive, and green future for all.
The FLLoCA Program is committed to building a more sustainable, secure, and prosperous future for all. By working in close partnership with County Governments, communities, and development partners, the program is pioneering a new model of locally-led climate action—one that centers community voices and strengthens resilience from the ground up.
