Strengthening national capacity in Kenya to meet the transparency requirements of the Paris Agreement and supporting the coordination of transparency-related activities
The project entitled, ‘Strengthening National Institutions in Kenya to Meet the Transparency Requirements of the Paris Agreement and Supporting the Coordination of National, Regional and Global Transparency-related Activities in Kenya’ is a medium- size project. The project will be implemented by CI as the Implementing Agency and executed by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MEF) through the Climate Change Directorate (CCD), the Secretariat for the System for Land-Based Emissions Estimation in Kenya (SLEEK) program, Vital Signs (VS) and the Greenhouse Gas Management Institute (GHGMI). The project aims to build Kenya’s institutional and technical capacities to meet the requirements of the transparency framework under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
To enhance the SLEEK system in Kenya to ensure compliance with the Paris Agreement transparency requirements
Institutional arrangements for data collection and sharing, quality control and assurance, analysis, and archiving strengthened in all 6 IPCC emission sectors
Capacities of government institutions and staff to collect, document, and archive key data in all sectors on a regular basis fo the GHG inventory process built
Functional GHG inventory and MRV systems established at Climate Change Department, with climate data and analysis integrated into policy making, NDC tracking, and international reporting
Institutions and arrangements for data collection and sharing, quality control and assurance, analysis, and archiving strengthened for the land-based sector
A fully functional coordination platform for all transparency-related activities and other reporting

The project seeks to support Kenya's efforts to establish a domestic Measurement, Reporting, and Verifiable (MRV) system for tracking the implementation of NDC in the energy and transport sectors.
ICAT support to Kenya is to achieve the following outcomes:
- Needs and gaps assessment for MRV in the energy and transport sectors
- Strengthen institutional arrangements for MRV in the transport and energy sectors
- Capacity developed for data management, to track NDC implementation in the transport and energy sectors, based on ICAT guidance
- A road map to ensure the sustainability of ICAT outcomes
