National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022

Kenya, Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Irrigation

This National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018-2022 is a five-year plan to steer Kenya’s climate change action. The plan derives from the climate change act (number 11 of 2016), which requires the government of Kenya (GOK) to develop action plans to guide the mainstreaming of climate change into sector functions. Seven priority areas underpin NCCAP 2018- 2022; disaster risk management; food and nutrition security; water and the blue economy; forestry; wildlife, and tourism; health, sanitation, and human settlements; manufacturing; and energy and transport. Through these priority areas, climate change action is aligned to the government’s big four agenda, and the sustainable development goals (SDGS). It seeks to increase the number of households and entities benefiting from devolved adaptive services; improve the ability of people to cope with drought and floods; improve the coordination and delivery of disaster management response and improve crop productivity through roll out of actions in the Kenya climate smart agriculture (KCSA).
