 Okay, so I'll make this presentation on the county climate change fund mechanism that has been piloted and being rolled out in Kenya. For the benefit of all the participants, mostly those were from outside, just to say that we are organized in terms of the national level and then the next level is the county level. In Kenya we have a total of 47 counties, below the counties we have the sub counties and then the world level which is our lowest planning unit. In terms of the county climate change fund mechanism, I just want to say that this mechanism is designed to channel climate finance to the lowest level to finance priority climate change interventions. As you can see from the diagram on the left, it's designed to attract funding from both public and private sources, national, international and local sources from example the budgets. And in terms of planning out to use and the condition on the use, we have the world level committees at the lower level, which have a role of mobilizing the communities to identify and prioritize the interventions. They work together with the county level committees which I'll come to shortly to see if they meet the prayer grid criteria in terms of identifying what to invest in. And as we've been employed or implemented this is that majority of the funding is dedicated to the lower level. That's the world where we have 70% of the total kitty, 20% catering for things like policy and the county level and restricting expenditure on administrative overheads. In terms of how the mechanism looks like or what consists of, it consists of four components for interrelated components that work to reinforce each other. I'll just explain this briefly. So the first component is a county fund, which is established through a county legislation used to finance priority climate change activities. As I have said, it's designed to attract funding from the public that's through the budgeting process, private sector donors, etc, etc. And the key thing for us is that county governments, which is our sub national governments also allocate a percent of their development budget each year to the kitty. We have been allocating a minimum of 2% one to 2% some are now doing three, which is great. And this man is used based on the prayer grid criteria to finance those interventions related to the committees is that to the fund is the committees, we have committees at the lower level, which are truly the pillar of this mechanism at the world level, the lowest planning unit, but work with communities to identify what their challenges are climatic challenges prioritized based on the valuable budget, which they know in advance to invest in a particular year, and then share these or engage this with the county level committee that support them technically to ensure they meet the criteria and finance those investments. The key thing for these mechanisms that the relationship between the lower level and the higher level at the county level is more facilitating rather than vetoing what's coming from the lower level. The third component being a climate change initiative is about the focus on climate information services and other tools that help us integrate both community and other forms of knowledge. We have our agencies, the meteorological department, supporting the process of coming up with a strategy to provide tailored climate information to users at that lower level, so that this informs the assessments that committees carry out the implementation, the design and location of investments. So, this is to ensure that they deal with both current and also the future is that people are able to pick up. I don't know why it's jumped. Sorry, something happened. It's just jumped to the next slide. I don't know. The other bit is about ensuring that we also track what we are doing in terms of where it started way back in 2010, and our then Ministry of Noban Kenya, which felt another glance which felt that those areas were actually being impacted and the feelings that they could not wait any longer. The idea was to come up with something that could be tried and then integrated in the government planning system. So, the work started way back in 2010 with participation of a number of agencies, national and local ones. Later, apart from working in the initial county of Isiolo, we later after stock taking moved to additional four counties with support of a number of development partners, but the key thing for us at that particular juncture was the fact that the was the fact that the national adaptation plan actually picked this up as a good lesson that was worth replicating. So, first forward, the fact that in our new planning cycles, counties now legislated to ensure that this is properly institutionalized, we had rounds of investment for the rounds of investments. And also we took some time to learn from our mistakes and see how best this can be taken forward, especially in our national planning change action planning processes that's going on. And of course, to date, where we have Victor, sorry, sorry to interrupt, but I was hoping that you could be able to put the slides back in presentation mode. Yeah, thank you. Excellent. Yeah, sorry about that. So what makes this sort of the business unusual though it was initiative piloted by a number of actors I think the decision to ensure that we look at the current the planning system that we had and see how best we can reform it to ensure to respond to the challenges that we're facing at that particular moment and also going forward. So instead of piloting outside the government, we worked within the government to ensure that we addresses the weaknesses with the planning at both lower level at also at the national level. Another bit is that we the committees have talked about the world level committees. These are the, the cornerstone of the pillars of this mechanism, but they're elected by community members. And they decide in terms of where to use their resources that have been allocated in a particular year. This one is giving us the opportunity to ensure that whatever is prioritized whatever is invested in actually respond to the needs of the people. The affected people, most of the modules groups that are usually left out in the process. The board government agencies, NGOs both international and local development partners also ensure that we harness to have a stable benefited from their different knowledge resources and capacities, but I don't think would have been possible. We'd only maybe only government or only in just doing their work separately. And also, the fact that we are creating a fund mechanism that can pull funding from different sources also help us in ensuring that we have targeted and well coordinated mechanism going forward. Achievements. So as I've said over 10 years, going forward, we have the 15. As of now we have 15 counties that has established the mechanism that was for components, but the beauty of it is that, apart from the fact that they're nationalized. We are seeing the world committees, the communities who are driving this process engaging in the wider planning and budgeting process so they're not only influencing the climate change work, but the broader development work in the county. Of course, we have investment done with the resources that we got from the development part of the government, ranging from the infrastructure type who are likely working areas of most of them are on water. But you also have other ones like community for broadcasting climate information and other development information. We also have a regulatory for quicker and timely diagnosis of diseases, healthy livestock. We also worked on strengthening those customer institutions that we felt were very critical in ensuring that we manage resources sustainably going forward. And of course, strategies and plans also developed. The other key thing is that this was new and therefore documenting for the benefit of those who are coming or getting into the process. We thought also was very critical. So some photos there on your right. One of the important point I want to emphasize on this particular slide is the picture on the right, the water point where you see communities decided to turn our challenge into a solution to a benefit. This was a big rock, which was channelling rainwater into the community land costing gullies, heavy Russian, but they felt that if it was, there was an impact mentor a barrier created, it could be the water could be channelled into water tanks that can be used to supply water to homes for different uses so you see the benefit there. So how are we aligned with the, the locally led principle. So fast about devolution, which for us is critical in terms of decision here actually being made at that lower level by community representative elected by the communities. And therefore, what we're seeing is that the investment are very relevant pertinent to their issues. Of course, in terms of, we've also tried in the design. And also in the legislation is recognized that you need to actually ensure that the marginalized the minorities are included in the process, otherwise you'll hear their voices. So that has been done. But as you'll appreciate some of these challenges are deep seated in society in our cultures and practices and therefore it's going to take a long time before they are actually there to be adequately. So while we are doing that I think a lot still need to be done. We've had the advantage of working on this this for some time also taking time to reflect the still learning and inform future development. And therefore I think the beauty is that we now appreciate why it's good to spend some good time and get some funding to continue doing the work that you are doing. Additionally, the fact that community what's in the kitty for a particular financial year help us in terms of participation decision making, and therefore the only work with what they think they can do and avoid directing long list that are never acted upon. The other bit is about, as I said, it was a concert brought together. And the key thing is that we're looking at what's going to be the difference. So how, how can they support the initiative and how can this be taken forward. We had agencies concerned with the planning, playing a critical role in terms of how to reform planning process. We had both dealing with climate information among others. The other bit is about uncertainty going forward as far as climate change is concerned and you'd appreciate that with the debt challenge then you need to adopt a staggered or a stepwise process where you can start small, take your lessons strengthen the institutions based on the need that is realized and then go forward. And therefore that flexibility in programming is required as you respond to these issues. Of course, there is the need to ensure that we also have been built accountability mechanisms for us, election of committee members are transparent. There are people who have shown good leadership roles in society and therefore very much accountable. How do we ensure that we effectively support climate risk management? As I've said, we are using climate information, the different products like seasonal forecast, the updates, a couple of years, but our agency, the meteorological agency is also working to provide long term projections to ensure that we inform the interventions well. The other thing is that we are also building on the strength and experiences of community or customer institutions so that we harness on their local knowledge, local practices. And also we do things in a better and coordinated manner. Of course, in the process we have therefore embedded tools and process that end up with that to happen that we can harness that community knowledge into the process. Of course, as we, one of the things that we've noted as we work to integrate or make use of climate information is that there's a group, the ultra poor that are often left out of the process, more so because they don't belong to most of the networks that are being used to disseminate the information. Some of the challenges as it had not been just smooth running. The one of the challenges that we've actually seen or experienced is that dealing with the political politicians or the leaders, which we have to do, is a challenging that they want quick and visible results. So things to do with the hardware, hardware infrastructure makes sense to them, but in certain cases communities have prioritized things to do with the strengthening governance which most people are not sometimes not happy with. So balancing that has been a challenge, but is a journey that we have to work together. Thank you so much, Victor. I'll request you to wrap up now, just so that we don't overrun the schedule. Thank you. Okay, in terms of, this is my last slide, going forward. I think I said that we are now moving country, countrywide the 47 counties, where this process now being led by our national treasury in support of development partners, as well as our government here. The only thing is that for most of them will get both readiness, money to prepare the ground, put the necessary institutions and mechanisms in place, then invest later. The two counties, the Nairobi and Mombasa, which are largely cities, I think are the only one excluded from the investment grants because there are a lot of other programs going on for investment. Then we see this is part of mobilizing resources to our national climate fund and linking it to the county climate change fund going forward. So what treasurer is doing now is to mobilize pool funds together at the national level under the national climate fund and then channeling it to the lower level. Thank you. Thank you so much, Victor. That's a brilliant, brilliant overview of another otherwise 10-year lessons and programming on county climate change fund. I have a quick follow-up question for you, Victor. Now, at the moment, we are experiencing hunger and starvation in some of these counties that you're talking about in this country, in Kenya. And so the question is, how has CCF been helpful and what lessons can we be able to draw to support communities when really the challenges such as lack of food and hunger and starvation becomes imminent? How can such a fund be able to be useful and move quickly to be able to alleviate such problems in those arid and semi-arid counties as well as the coast? We are seeing news everywhere of people really starving from lack of food. Yeah, I think if you look at the counties that have CCF functional and those without, I think we see them doing better in terms of numbers affected, whether it's due to the water for livestock, water for domestic use. So I think, but we are going to solve every problem in one or two years using the CCF. I think the beauty with it is that once we pull this together, together with the other interventions from other arms of government, then we can really deal with the different challenges and hopefully we can ensure that the numbers that are impacted or affected by these events leading to pharma in ETC can reduce significantly and on a more sustainable basis going forward. So we are dealing with it, but it's something that's going to be gradual, not solving one or two years, but over time with sustained investment.
