GENDER AND CLIMATE CHANGE MAINSTREAMING IN MONITORING & EVALUATION GEOFFREY OMEDO UNDP KENYA UN JOINT PROGRAMME ON CLIMATE CHANGE Tel:

OUTLINE  THE CONTEXT: UN JOINT PROGRAM ON CLIMATE CHANGE  WHY MAINSTREAM GENDER & CLIMATE CHANGE?  WHAT IS THE BASIS?  THE MTP II HANDBOOK PROCESS  NEXT STEPS – COUNTY MAINSTREAMING!!

SUPPORT TO LOW CARBON CLIMATE RESILIENT DEVELOPMENT FOR POVERTY REDUCTION PROJECT  Project jointly designed with Government of Kenya, in recognition of the impacts of climate change (CC) on the country’s development;  Implemented by The Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (The National Treasury spearheads components of Climate Finance, while Ministry of Devolution and Planning spearheads MTP II Climate Change mainstreaming work)  Brings together 5 UN Agencies – Delivering as One - (ILO, UNEP, UNHABITAT, and UNESCO), to support Execution of Strategic Niche Areas:  1. Pro-poor climate change adaptation and mitigation in the national and county planning and budgeting process are mainstreamed.  2. Renewables and sustainable biomass production promoted.  3. Sustainability and employment creation in the building construction industry enhanced.  4. Low Carbon Transport catalyzed.  5. Illegal wildlife trade is addressed. Funded by the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID)

BASIS FOR MAINSTREAMING CLIMATE CHANGE  Constitution of Kenya 2010 – Sustainable Development  The Vision 2030 – Acknowledges Climate Change  The MTP II – (Integrates Climate Change)  Climate Change Regulatory Frameworks  International climate Change Policy – Sustainable Development  Kenya National Climate Change Response Strategy 2010  Kenya National Climate Action Plan (NCCAP )  Climate Change Bill 2014 – (In process)

NCCAP Components 1. Long-term Low C climate resilient Dev Pathway 2. Enabling Policy and Regulatory Framework 3. ADAPTATION4. MITIGATION 5. National Technology Action Plan 6. National Performance & Benefit Measurement 7. Knowledge Management & Capacity Development 8. Finance ENABLERS

ADAPTATION MITIGATION

Adaptation Mitigation PLANNING

MAINSTREAMING THE MTP II REPORTING HANDBOOK  NATIONAL REPORTING FRAMEWORK INFRASTRUCTURE  NO. 10 – Increased Installed Power Generation (Proportion of Installed power generation capacity from renewable sources) TOURISM  NO. 23 – Preserved National Heritage, Culture and Conserved Wildlife Habitats (Additional Ecotourism sites established) ENVIRONMENT, WATER AND SANITATION  No. 45 – Low carbon Climate Resilient Development Promoted (Green House Gases Emissions per Capita)  NO Increased Forest Cover (Proportion of Land Area Covered by Forests)  NO. 41 – Improved Access to Clean and Safe Water  NO Increased Water Storage and Harvesting Capacity  NO. 43 – Increased Access to Sanitation QUALITY OF LIFE AND OPPORTUNITIES  NO Reduced Drought Vulnerability and Enhanced Adaptation (Hunger Safety Net Programme)

KENYA VISION 2030 FLAGSHIP PROJECTS  ENVIRONMENT AND SANITATION 1. Mapping and securing wildlife corridors and dispersal areas 2. Biodiversity monitoring and wildlife security Modernized 3. Rehabilitation of the five water towers and management of catchment areas 4. Forestry Research and Development 5. Strengthening Environmental Governance 6. Green Energy Implemented 7. Urban Rivers Rehabilitation Programme 8. Weather modification programmes 9. National Climate Change Action Plan implemented  1 Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Action (NAMA) developed & submitted to UNFCCC

NEXT STEPS FROM NATIONAL MAINSTREAMING OF CLIMATE CHANGE TO COUNTY MAINSTREAMING  Diverse socio-economic, Geographical contexts in the Counties
