Play all audios:

The Government of Kenya has ambitions to significantly expand its power supply from geothermal sources to underpin low-carbon, climate-resilient development, as encapsulated in its National


Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP). Although progress has been made, greater private sector involvement is needed to keep the goal within reach. Kenya has developed a Nationally Appropriate


Mitigation Action (NAMA) to mobilise private investment by channelling targeted international climate finance and technical support. After introducing the context and objectives of Kenya’s


geothermal NAMA, this brief focuses on the challenges faced in the process of developing the NAMA, and highlights lessons learned and recommendations for future NAMA development, both in


Kenya and globally.
