Abstract:
The Government of Kenya has ambitions to significantly expand its
power supply from geothermal sources to underpin low-carbon, climateresilient
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.
