Adaptive Capacity The ability or potential of a system to respond successfully to climate variability and change and includes adjustments in both behavior and in resources and technologies. Capacity building In the context of climate change, the process of developing the technical skills and institutional capability, particularly among vulnerable communities and emerging economies and sectors to enable them to effectively address the causes and impacts of climate change. Carbon market A market-based instruments such as cap-and-trade emission trading schemes which help in pricing carbon emissions and keep the costs of climate action low. A cap-and -trade scheme enables emitters to trade allowances for the right to emit up to their allowed limit. The term comes from the fact that carbon dioxide is the predominant greenhouse gas, and other gases are measured in units called "carbon dioxide equivalents." Carbon Sequestration The process of removing carbon from the atmosphere and depositing it in a reservoir or “sink”, such as soil or trees. Climate The average pattern for weather conditions occurs over a long-time period (over 30 yrs.). Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions at a specific place at a specific point in time. Climate has always varied because of natural causes. Increasingly, however, human increases in GHG emissions causing changes in climate as well. Climate Change A change in the climate system which is caused by significant changes in the concentration of greenhouse gases as a consequence of human activities and which is in addition to natural climate change that has been observed during a considerable period. Climate Finance Monies available for or mobilized by government or non-government entities to finance climate change mitigation and adaptation actions and interventions. Climate Resilience Adaptive capacity for a socio-ecological system to absorb stresses and maintain functions in the face of external stresses imposed upon it by climate change. Conference of the Parties The supreme governing body of an international convention. It comprises representatives of all State Parties and accredited observers. Scope of the COP is to review the implementation of Convention and any other legal instruments that the COP adopts and take decisions necessary to promote the effective implementation of vii | P a g e the Convention. In this context refers to United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Deforestation The decrease in forest areas across the world that are lost for other uses such as agricultural croplands, urbanization, or mining activities A disaster is the tragedy of a natural or human made hazard (a hazard Disaster is a situation which poses a level of threat to life, health, property, or environment). It is a serious disruption of the functioning of a community or a society involving widespread human, material, economic or environmental losses and impacts, which exceeds the ability of the affected community or society to cope using its own resources. Ecosystem The interactive system formed from all living organisms and their abiotic (physical) and can comprise the entire globe. Emission In relation to a greenhouse gas, means emissions of that gas into the atmosphere where the emissions are attributable to human activity. The process of removal and transport of soil and rock by weathering, Erosion mass wasting, and the action of streams, glaciers, winds, and underground water Intergovernmental Panel Established in 1988 by the World Meteorological Organization and on Climate Change the UN Environment Programme, the IPCC surveys worldwide (IPCC) scientific and technical literature and publishes assessment reports that are widely recognized as the most credible existing sources of information on climate change. The IPCC also works on methodologies and responds to specific requests from the UNFCCC's subsidiary bodies. The IPCC is independent of the UNFCCC. Low Carbon A development plan or strategy that encompasses low-emission Development Pathway economic growth. Transitioning to this pathway means taking actions, where possible, to encourage GHG emissions that are lower than business-as-usual practice; and reducing the human causes of emissions by moving toward a resource efficient economy that is as low-carbon as possible and enhancing carbon sinks. Maladaptation Defined by the UNFCCC as any changes in natural or human systems that inadvertently increase vulnerability to climatic stimuli Mitigation Efforts that seek to prevent or slow down the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations by limiting current or future emissions and enhancing potential sinks for greenhouse gases;. National Adaptation Plan A document prepared by developing countries that identifies urgent and immediate needs for adapting to climate change. viii | P a g e National Climate Change National plans of action, prepared at five-year intervals, that set out Action Plans in detail the requirements and costs for the design and implementation of the various climate change interventions required for Kenya to attain low carbon climate resilient development. Public Private Public-Private Partnerships are an association between government Partnerships (PPPs) and private sector through which private financing is utilized to perform a public function, at a profit to the private sector. National or international institutions that have made contributions to Participating Institutions the Fund Sustainable development Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Technology Transfer A broad set of processes covering the flows of expertise, experience and equipment for mitigating and adapting to climate change among different stakeholders. United Framework An international treaty signed by 195 countries that entered into force Convention on Climate in 1994. The objective of the Convention is “…stabilization of Change (UNFCCC) greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system Vulnerability The degree to which a system is susceptible to, or unable to cope with, adverse effects of climate change, including climate variability and extremes. Vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitude and rate of climate variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity and its adaptive capacity. Ward has the meaning assigned to it under Article 89 of the Constitution; Ward Climate Change the ward climate change fund Committee established under section Fund Planning 16 of this Act; Committee ix | P a g e Executive Summary Climate change has increased the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events in Kenya causing loss of lives, diminished livelihoods, reduced crop and livestock production, and damaged infrastructure, among other adverse impacts. An example is the torrential rains and severe flooding from March to May 2018 that devastated communities that were already struggling to recover from a prolonged drought. Climate change is likely to negatively impact Kenya’s future development and achievement of the goals of Kenya Vision 2030 – the long-term development blueprint – and the Government’s Big Four agenda for 2023-2027 that focuses on ensuring food and nutrition security, affordable and decent housing, increased manufacturing and affordable healthcare. Kenya takes climate change seriously, as demonstrated by the enactment of the Climate Change Act (Number 11 of 2016). This Act requires the Government to develop five-year National Climate Change Action Plans (NCCAP) to guide the mainstreaming of adaptation and mitigation actions into sector functions of the National and County Governments. NC-CCAP 2023-2027 aims to further Kenya’s development goals by providing mechanisms and measures to achieve low carbon climate resilient development in a manner that prioritises adaptation. This plan builds on the first Action Plan (2013-2017) and provides a framework for Kenya to deliver on its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). NCCAP 2023-2027 guides the climate actions of the National and County Governments, the private sector, civil society and other actors as Kenya transitions to a low carbon climate resilient development pathway. The NCCAP consists of this Volume I, the Volume II: Adaptation Technical Analysis Report, and Volume III: Mitigation Technical Analysis Report. Kenya’s Changing Climate Kenya is an equatorial county in East Africa with a complex and variable climate ranging from warm and humid in the coastal regions to arid and very arid in the interior. The central and western highlands, bisected by the Rift Valley, have a temperate climate with medium to high rainfall and are the productive zones with high to medium agricultural potential (about 18% of Kenya’s land area). Low and unevenly distributed rainfall over much of the country means about 82% of Kenya receives less than 700 mm of rain per year. Twenty-three of Kenya’s 47 Counties are considered as arid or semi-arid lands (ASALs). Kenya is frequently affected by weather-related disasters, particularly droughts, which have a profound impact on Kenya’s economy and people’s well-being. Kenya’s climate is already changing. Surface temperatures across Africa have increased by 0.52°C over the past 100 years, and from 1950 onward climate change has changed the magnitude and frequency of extreme weather events. The frequency of cold days, cold nights and frost has decreased; while the frequency of hot days, hot nights and heat waves has increased. Temperature increase has been observed across all seasons, but particularly from March to May. Rainfall patterns have also changed. The long rainy season has become shorter and drier, and the short rainy season has become longer and wetter, while overall annual rainfall remains low. The long rains have been declining continuously in recent decades, and droughts have become longer and more intense and tend to continue across rainy seasons. The frequency of rainfall events causing x|Page floods has increased in East Africa from an average of less than three events per year in the 1980s to over seven events per year in the 1990s and 10 events per year from 2000 to 2006, with a particular increase in floods. Droughts and heavy rainfall have become more frequent in the last 30 years. The current trend of rising annual temperatures is expected to continue in Kenya in all seasons. The precipitation projections are more uncertain and suggest that by the end of the 21 st century East Africa will have a wetter climate with more intense wet seasons and less severe droughts. The proportion of rainfall that occurs in heavy events is expected to increase. Climate Change Impacts in Narok County Heat, drought and floods are impacting Kenyans, and human health is increasingly at risk. Kenya’s economy is very dependent on climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture, water, energy, tourism, wildlife, and health. The increasing intensity and magnitude of weather-related disasters in Kenya aggravates conflicts, mostly over natural resources, and contributes to security threats. The economic cost of floods and droughts is estimated to create a long-term fiscal liability equivalent to 2%-2.8% of GDP each year. Specifically, the estimated costs of floods are about 5.5% of GDP every seven years, while droughts account for 8% of GDP every five years. Floods have led to the greatest loss of human lives in Kenya. The floods in early 2018 claimed over 183 lives, displaced more than 225,000 people including over 145,000 children, and closed over 700 schools. The economic impacts of floods are severe; in 2018, rain and flooding wiped out resources worth billions of shillings. Roads and infrastructure were destroyed, seasonal crops across an estimated 8,500 hectares of land were destroyed and over 20,000 livestock drowned. Droughts are typically large-scale disasters in Kenya destroying livelihoods, triggering local conflicts over scarce resources, and eroding the ability of communities to cope. The 2014-18 drought was declared a national emergency in February 2017 and at that point in time affected 23 ASAL Counties. At least 3.4 million Kenyans were severely food insecure and an estimated 500,000 people did not have access to water. Rising sea temperatures off the coast of Kenya have triggered mass coral bleaching and mortality on coral reef systems over the past two decades. This impacts the abundance and composition of fish species and negatively impacts coastal fisheries. Kenya’s Contribution to Climate Change Kenya has little historical or current responsibility for global climate change; the country’s GHG emissions represent less than 1% of total global emissions. Adaptation is the priority for Kenya, but climate action also needs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions that are projected to increase because of population and economic growth. Actions in the six mitigation sectors set out in the UNFCCC – agriculture, energy, forestry, industry, transport, and waste – are expected to lead to lower emissions than in the projected baseline and help to meet Kenya’s mitigation NDC to abate GHG emissions by 30% by 2030 relative to the business as usual scenario. The forestry sector has large potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Kenya because forests act as “sinks” through carbon sequestration. Priority Climate Change Actions xi | P a g e NC-CCAP 2023-2027 takes cognisance of the impacts of climate change on Kenya’s socioeconomic sectors. It identifies strategic areas where climate action is linked to the Big Four agenda, recognising that climate change is likely to limit the achievement of these pillars. For example, food security is threatened through climate change-driven declines in agricultural productivity, health is impacted by an increase in vector-borne diseases, including malaria and cholera; housing and manufacturing are impacted by damage to infrastructure (including homes, business, schools and hospitals) caused by flooding and storm events. Narok County’s Climate Change Action Plan 2023-2027 Aim: To further County’s sustainable development by providing mechanisms and measures to achieve low carbon climate resilient development in a manner that prioritises adaptation.

The detailed descriptions in NCCAP 2023-2027 include information on the problem being addressed, the action needed to address the problem, expected results, County-level indicators, alignment with the Big Four Agenda, alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and relevant institutions to deliver the actions. Adaptation actions are prioritised in NCCAP 2023-2027 because of the devastating impacts of xiii | P a g e droughts and floods, and the negative effects of climate change on vulnerable groups in society including women, older members of society, persons with disabilities, children, youth, and members of minority or marginalised communities. These actions are undertaken, where possible, in a way to limit greenhouse gas emissions to ensure that the country achieves its mitigation NDC. The climate change actions will be mainstreamed in the Third Medium Term Plan and in Country Integrated Development Plans, ensuring that strategic climate change actions are taken up across the country and in all sectors. Delivering the NC-CCAP The Climate Change Act, 2016 sets out institutional structures and responsibilities that guide the oversight and management of NC-CCAP 2013-2027. The National Climate Change Council, chaired by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya and co-chaired by the Deputy President, is responsible for overall coordination of climate change affairs, including guiding the implementation of NCCAP 2023-2027. The Cabinet Secretary responsible for climate change affairs submits the action plan to the Council for approval, and reports to the Council and Parliament on the status of the implementation of this NCCAP. The Climate Change Directorate, established in the ministry responsible for climate change affairs, coordinates the implementation of NCCAP 2023-2027, including related monitoring and reporting. State departments and national public entities are required to establish climate change units to integrate NCCAP 2023-2027 into strategies and implementation plans, and to report to the Council on an annual basis on performance and implementation. County Governments are responsible for integrating and mainstreaming climate change actions into their 2023-2027 County Integrated Development Plans, designating a County Executive Committee member to coordinate climate change affairs, and reporting annually to the County Assemblies on the implementation of climate change. County governments are expected to establish climate change units that will oversee the implementation of climate actions. CHAPTER 1: BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT This Chapter Summarizes the different steps in the participatory climate action planning process that led to the development of the CCCAP, and how women, youth, ethnic minorities, people living with disabilities and other marginalized and vulnerable groups were enabled to be active participants in this process.

1.1 Background and Context Climate change has increased the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events in Kenya that have led to loss of lives, diminished livelihoods, reduced crop and livestock production, and damaged infrastructure, among other adverse impacts. xiv | P a g e As a county, The Narok County government takes climate change seriously, as demonstrated by the enactment of the Narok County Climate Change Fund Act, 2021. This law created a fund to be funded by the government and partners in creating resilience among its citizens. In this law The county’s contribution was set to be three percent of its development budget, the highest in the country. This law also provides mechanisms and measures to transition to a low carbon climate resilient development. This pathway emphasizes sustainable development and prioritizes adaptation, recognizing the importance of increasing the climate resilience of vulnerable groups including women, youth, people with disabilities, and marginalized and minority communities. The National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) 2018 – 2022 and Section 11 of the aforementioned statute provides for the development of Narok County Climate Change Action Plans (NC-CCAP) and programs to prescribe measures and mechanisms to mainstream adaptation and mitigation actions into sector functions of County Governments. The Act requires that the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) responsible for climate change affairs review and update the NC-CCAP in every five-year period. NC-CCAP 2023 – 2027 is Narok’s first action plan on climate change which was majorly derived from the NCCAP 2018 – 2023 and from a Participatory Climate Risk Assessment Report carried across the county in all the 30 wards. NCCAP 2018-2022 is a framework for Kenya to deliver on its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

1.1.1 Purpose and process of the NC-CCAP Narok County pride itself as a food basket for the country with the highest production of Beef, Wheat, Barley and Potatoes. The county has four agro-climatic zones namely; humid, sub- humid, semi-humid to arid and semi-arid. Two-thirds of the county is classified as semi-arid (Narok CIDP 2018- 2017). Temperatures range from 20° C (January- March) to 10° C (June- September) with an average of 18° C. Weather in Narok county is majorly influenced by the winds converging at the equator creating a low pressure zone (inter tropical convergence zones) giving rise to bi-modal rainfall pattern. The county experiences long rains between March to May while the short rains are experienced between October to December. Rainfall ranges from 2,500 mm in wet season to 500 mm during the dry season. The period between March to May season receives high intensity rainfalls that support growth of vegetation which is food for wild animals. This climatic characteristic has been influencing the migration of wildebeest into Kenya from Serengeti in June in search of vegetative food and return migration to Serengeti in November after the vegetation diminishes. The seasons are also important to farmers in planning for planting and harvesting. This action plan primarily depended on the NCCAP 2018 -2022 and the Data gathered through a vigorous participatory climate risk assessment across the county in all the 30 wards. This plan was subjected to the following processes to ascertain quality, objectivity and its comprehensiveness. Step 1: Review of Key Documents This step was used to review the county policies and plans including the county integrated development plan, county spatial plan, the county climate change policy among other strategic documents and laws. 2|Page This step was also used to review National Government policies, laws and guidelines among them include NCCAP 2018 – 2022, National Determined Contributions, Climate Change Act, 2016 among many others. Also academic literature was reviewed to check approaches of different scholars in giving climate solutions. Step 2: Collecting Public Input This step was carried out to provide stakeholders and community representatives at the ward levels with an opportunity to review and respond to the findings of the county climate risk analysis. Also the ward leadership was also oriented through this documents to give their inputs. Step 3: Drafting the County Climate Change Action Plan After the community and stakeholders gave their inputs and validated the PCRA report, the first draft of this document was developed at this stage. Step 4: Validation Workshop for the CCCAP This document was then validated with the key stakeholders including the directors of county departments, those in the MDA and other relevant organizations and stakeholders in the county with relevant knowledge in the priorities identified in the PCRA report. Step 5: Public Feedback The document was then shared with a wider stakeholder for further inputs. Among them was selected members of the public considering the different spectrum of the communities i.e. women, pwds, youth, indigenous groups among others Step 6: Development of Second Draft of CCCAP After collection of all the inputs, a second draft was developed at this stage. This document was then ready to be presented to the cabinet for adoption as a county plan. At this stage the cabinet was also oriented through the document to facilitate their understanding before approving the document. Step 7: Presentation of the CCCAP to the County Executive Committee This document together with the PCRA report were presented to the cabinet by the CECM in charge of climate change through a cabinet memo. Step 8: Presentation of the CCCAP to the County Assembly In accordance to section 12 of the Narok County Climate Change Fund Act, 2021 this document was then shared with the county assembly committee of environment which was to ensure that the check and balance between the assembly and the executive were maintained as envisaged in our constitution.

1.1.1.1 Objective The main objective of this document was to guide the county and its partners in investing low carbon investments and offering climate solutions to the citizens and the globe. In achieving this, this document will also be aiming i. To consolidate data on Climate change related actions and investments by all stakeholders at the County and Ward level 3|Page ii. To highlight progress, challenges, opportunities and lessons learnt iii. To enhance stakeholder awareness and involvement in Climate change activities for improved action.

1.1.2 Underlying Climate Resilience Context Impacts of Climate Hazards in the County Narok County is one of Kenya’s back born for the National Determined Contribution (NDC). The County is home to the biggest carbon sink in East Africa- The Mau Forest Complex, The Loita Forest, Enoosupukia Forest among others. Over 60% of the population in the county resides in the semi-arid areas. Environmental shocks and stresses brought about by droughts compound poverty and affect the poor disproportionately because the poor are found in marginal and vulnerable areas. This results in loss of livestock and wildlife as well as displacement of communities in search of water and pasture thus creating climate migration (transhumance migration) which further worsens the quality of life for the local communities. Adverse change in the weather pattern has resulted in reduced yields; which in turn have discouraged investors in the agricultural sector and would be adversely affected hindering the realization of Vision 2030 development goals. Narok County and Narok Town in particular has experienced increased frequency of flooding in the past decade with flash floods being experienced every rainy season -unpredictable phenomenon that result perennial flooding unlike in the past when the frequency was every five years. The flooding events lead to loss of lives, livestock and destruction of property which affects the livelihoods of the Figure 1 Maasai Mau Forest, Kenya Water Towers pastoral and business community especially in town. Other hazards include windstorms which are known to cause havoc in areas such as Suswa Olokurto and some parts of Narok South and West especially in open spaces and mudflow along Enoosupukia- Suswa – Lake Magadi Landscape. Areas prone to fire outbreaks include Maasai Mara and Maasai Mau forest where they are reported to cause serious ecological damage. Forest fires have been reported to cause serious deforestation in parts of Maasai Mara and parts of Maasai Mau where they razed important ecosystems endemic to lions. Irreparable damage has also been caused to homesteads and other establishment as a result of fire outbreaks. Human Wildlife conflict is also a notable hazard in the Maasai Mara Ecosystem due to prolonged drought in the area. Pastoralist, agro-pastoralist and agriculturalists in Narok County will be amongst the most vulnerable due to the impacts of climate change. Increasing climate variability (changes duration, seasonality and increase in temperature) and extreme events (droughts and floods) will affect livestock and agriculture production, incomes, and food security of these communities in the County.

1.2 Differentiated Climate exposure and Vulnerability of key groups and livelihoods in the County 4|Page Spatial variation in precipitation and temperature in the county is wide due to the sparse geographical area of the county. The current climate supports a variety of crop farming such as wheat, barley, potatoes as a cash crop and fodder and pasture for livestock, while maize and beans are grown mainly for subsistence. Other crops grown are horticultural crops such as African leafy vegetables (ALVs) and kales. Livestock rearing in the county include goats, sheep and cattle on small scale. Figure 2 National Rainfall Differences between MAM LTM and MAM 2023 Forecast, KMD 2023 Differentiated climatic trends indicate that Narok County may receive slightly enhanced annual rainfall in some pockets as indicated in the Long Term Mean (Averages). Consecutively dry days within and between rainy seasons are expected to increase by an average of 4 days suggesting a marginal increase in incidences of prolonged dry periods with likelihood of crop failure and reduced quantities of water from natural sources. The maximum number of running rainy days will average 5 days which indicates risks of floods, flash floods, infrastructure destruction and crops.

1.3. Brief Overview of Climate Change Actions in the County

1.3.1 Mainstreaming of NCCAP in County Actions One of the outstanding achievements within the National Climate Change Action Plan 2018 - 2022 period was the enactment of the Climate Change Act in May 2016. This law provides a regulatory framework for an enhanced response to climate change and promotes a mainstreaming approach to enhance action toward a low carbon climate-resilient development pathway. Part III, section 19 of the Act provides for mainstreaming of climate change actions into The County Government functions and states that subject to the Act and the Constitution, County Governments may enact legislation that further defines the implementation of its obligations under this Act, or 5|Page other climate change functions relevant to the County or such other related purposes. In the spirit of the Climate Change Act 2016 requirement for the Counties to enact Climate Change Legislative Framework, Narok County has enacted Narok County Climate Change Act, 2021 and Climate Change Fund Regulation and Policy, 2021.

1.3.2 Climate Change in CIDP Narok County has captured and budgeted 3% of its total development budget for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation measures for FY 2023-2024. Narok County has also mainstreamed Climate Change resilience measures across all Departments in the County.

1.3.3 Other key climate actions/strategies in the County These include other measures such as prioritizing climate resilient development in the County, promoting Climate Change mitigation through measures such as reducing emissions and protecting forest areas and planting trees and lastly Climate Change Adaptation through measures such as promoting livelihood diversification to enhance resilience. 6|Page CHAPTER 2: POLICY ENVIRONMENT

2.1 National Policy Context

2.1.1 The National Perspective Climate change has increased the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events in Kenya that have led to loss of lives, diminished livelihoods, reduced crop and livestock production, and damaged infrastructure, among other adverse impacts. An example is the severe drought experienced from 2018 to 2022 that devastated communities that were already struggling to recover electioneering period. Climate change is likely to negatively impact Kenya’s future development and achievement of the goals of Kenya Vision 2030 – the long-term development blueprint – and the Government’s Big Four agenda for 2018-2022 which focuses on ensuring food and nutrition security, affordable and decent housing, increased manufacturing and affordable healthcare. Kenya takes climate change seriously, as demonstrated by the enactment of the Climate Change Act (Number 11 of 2016). This is the first climate change-dedicated legislation in Africa, and provides a regulatory framework for an enhanced response to climate change. It provides mechanisms and measures to transition to a low carbon climate resilient development. This pathway emphasizes sustainable development and prioritizes adaptation, recognizing the importance of increasing the climate resilience of vulnerable groups including women, youth, people with disabilities, and marginalized and minority communities. Section 13 of the Climate Change Act, 2016 provides for the development of National Climate Change Action Plans (NCCAP) to prescribe measures and mechanisms to mainstream adaptation and mitigation actions into sector functions of National and County Governments. The Act requires that the Cabinet Secretary responsible for climate change affairs review and update the NCCAP in every five-year period. NCCAP 2018-2022 is Kenya’s second action plan on climate change. This plan builds on the first Action Plan (2013-2017) where considerable progress was made, including establishing climate change funds in five Counties, expanding geothermal power, establishing the National Climate Change Resource Centre, and improving the legal and policy framework (see Section 1.4 for more details). NCCAP 2018-2022 is a framework for Kenya to deliver on its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Climate change is a shared responsibility between the National Government and the County Governments. The National Government led and guided the process to develop NCCAP 2018 - 2022 working with County Governments. The implementation of the plan is coordinated by the two levels of government in line with the Constitution of Kenya (2010). NCCAP 2018-2022 coincides with the second generation of County Governments, who are responsible for several devolved functions where action will contribute to the achievement of this climate change action plan and the Big Four agenda. NCCAP 2018-2022 guides the climate actions of the National Government, the County Governments, the private sector, civil society and other actors as Kenya transitions to a low carbon climate resilient development pathway. 7|Page

2.1.2 National Legal and Policy Framework The Government of Kenya (GOK) has demonstrated a renewed commitment to the ASAL regions, through launching the Economic Recovery Strategy in 2003, which, for the first time, recognized ‘the important contribution the ASALs can make to national development’. The Government of Kenya is committed to putting in place a holistic policy framework that facilitates and fast-track sustainable development of the region. This is in a bid to reducing levels of inequality concerning the rest of Kenya and realizing its potential for the benefit of affected counties and the country. Kenya has assented to several international and regional instruments governing diverse aspects of climate change, which are currently being implemented. The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) is one of the key international instruments that promotes sustainable management and utilization of drylands while the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) of 1997 (Kyoto Protocol, 1997), seeks to address climate change through periodic and successive binding global agreements (such as the Kyoto protocol and presently the Paris Agreement) that detail, among others, adaption measures to respond to both current and future impacts of climate change. Further, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of development goals that aim at fostering sustainable development across diverse sectors of world economy. Those SDGs of particular interest to Narok County include SDGs 1 (No poverty), 2 (zero hunger), 3 (good health and well- being), 6 (Water and sanitation), 7 (Affordable and clean energy), 8 (Decent work and economic growth), 13 (Climate Action), 15 (Life on Land), 17 (partnership for the goals). The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (2015-2030) The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (Pearson & Pelling, 2015) seeks for a reduction in disaster risk and losses in lives and livelihoods while the African Union (AU) Policy Framework for Pastoralism in Africa aims to secure, protect and improve the lives, livelihoods, and rights of African pastoralists (Africa Union, 2013). In the East Africa Community (EAC) region, EAC Climate Change Policy has been developed to guide Partner States on the preparation and implementation of collective measures to address climate change in the region. The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 The Constitution of Kenya, 2010 asserts the aspiration of all Kenyans for a governance based on the essential values of, among others, human rights, equality, and social justice. These aspirations particularly resonate well with pastoralists, agro-pastoralists and agriculturalists in Narok County. The constitution creates an Equalization Fund whose provisions are buttressed by objects of which include, among others, to protect the marginalized, including pastoralists and to ensure equitable sharing of national resources throughout Kenya. Most importantly, the Constitution devolved units, the counties, which are tasked with the implementation of crop and livestock production, water and sanitation services, disaster management (concurrent function), soil and water conservation, and many other functions; all of which contribute to climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation in Narok County. The National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS, 2010) The National Climate Change Response Strategy (NCCRS, 2010) was key in Kenya’s history, which laid the foundation for strengthening nationwide actions towards climate change adaptation and mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The National Climate Change Action Plan (2013- 2017) sets plans for the implementation of the NCCRS, including prioritized actions needed to achieve climate-resilient and a low carbon pathway development (Government of Kenya, 2010). 8|Page The Climate Change Act (2016) The Climate Change Act (2016) provides the regulatory mechanisms to implement climate change resilience and low carbon actions in both public and private sector development activities and has enshrined the National Climate Change Action Plan (Council, 2010) – to be developed in 5-year cycles and aligned with the MTPs – as its principal implementation instrument. The latest NCCAP, covering the period 2018–2022, identifies a series of actions for government and other stakeholders, with a particular focus on adaptation. The National Policy on Climate Finance (2018) provided a clear direction on mechanism for enhanced mobilization of climate finance from all sources: private, public, multi-lateral Agencies, bilateral, philanthropic, among others to finance Kenya’s updated National Determined Contribution (NDC) and NCCAPs. The policy recommended the development of green fiscal incentive policy to catalyze the private sector to finance transition to a low carbon- climate resilient-green development path. It requires the County governments to integrate the provisions of the Act. The National Adaptation Plan (2015-2030) The National Adaptation Plan aims to integrate climate change into national and the County level development planning and budgeting, as well as enhance the resilience of vulnerable populations to climate shocks through adaptation and DRR. The County Government Act (2012) The County Government Act 2012 (Government of Kenya, 2012) mandates counties to develop a County Integrated Development Plan (CIDP), the County Spatial Plan (CSP) as well as Cities and Urban Areas Plan which shall be the basis for the County budgeting and expenditures. The National Land Policy (2009) The National Land Policy 2009 provides for guiding principles that resonate with sustainable rangeland management including, among others, equitable access to land; conservation of ecologically sensitive areas, elimination of gender discrimination in land relations; and encouragement of traditional dispute resolution mechanisms. To secure community rights to land, the policy mandates the Government to enact legislation which shall inter alia, provide a framework for the recognition and registration of community rights to land and resources found thereon. Pending which, any unregistered community land shall be held in trust by the County Government for the community in question. The Community Land Act (2016) The Community Land Act (Kenya Law) 2016 sets a framework for ownership, protection, management, utilization, rights, benefits sharing, disputes resolutions, and penalties regarding community land. Furthermore, communities have powers to set rules for administration and management of communal land, establish measures to protect critical ecosystems and habitats, and facilitate access, public participation and co-management of resources by communities. The Environment and Land Court Act 2011 mandates the court to mainstream Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) in its proceedings. The Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) of 1999 The Environmental Management and Coordination Act (EMCA) of 1999 (amended in 2015 to align with the Kenya constitution, 2010) creates the County Environment Committee comprising, inter alia, 9|Page representatives of pastoralists within the County in question (EMCA 2015," 2017). The national environment provides for ASALs and rangelands are found in several sections such as provisions for forest ecosystems, provision for ASALs, provision for land resource, provision for biodiversity and wildlife resources, and provision for livestock resources. The Water Act, 2016 The Water Act, 2016 provides for, inter alia, the regulation, management, and development of water resources and services throughout the country. The Water Services Trust Fund shall provide grants to counties (in addition to the Equalization Fund) to extend water services in marginalized areas or those considered to be underserved or not to be commercially viable. Representation of pastoralists on the Basin Water Resources Committee is also a requirement. The Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, 2013 The Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, 2013 calls for devolution of wildlife conservation and management, wherever possible, to landowners where wildlife occurs while recognizing the rights of communities living adjacent to protected areas.

2.1.3 County Enabling Legal & Policy Framework This Section analyses county’s existing policy, legal and regulatory framework for climate change. This include county climate change acts, CCCF Act and Regulations, CIDPs, sectoral policies, spatial plans, etc. i. Narok County Climate Change Fund Act, 2021 The object and purpose of this Act is to establish a Climate Change Fund to facilitate and coordinate financing of Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation activities and to establish a county climate change framework and structures to: Mainstream climate change programs into development planning, decision making and advisory on climate change in the county; Co- ordinate, collate and disseminate information on climate change to the public to create awareness and preparedness; Establish a climate change fund, financial mechanism and governance framework for climate change response and risk mitigation; Co-ordinate support from National Government climate change policy and legislative framework and co-ordinate the collection and dissemination of climate change information to the public to create awareness and preparedness. ii. Narok County Climate Change Policy, 2022 The main goal of the Policy is to ensure that climate change is mainstreamed in the economically and socially vulnerable sectors and to steer Narok County towards climate resilience and green development pathway. This will be achieved through: Pursuing sustained economic growth by appropriately addressing the challenges of climate change; Integrating the climate change policy into other related county policies and the CIDP; Facilitating and strengthening Kenya’s role as a responsible member of the international community in addressing climate change challenges; Focusing on pro-poor and gender sensitive adaptation while promoting mitigation to the highest extent possible in a cost-effective manner; Ensuring water, food and energy security of the county in the face of challenges posed by climate change; Minimizing the risks arising from expected increase in frequency and intensity of extreme events: flash floods, droughts etc.; Strengthening inter-departmental, inter-agency decision making and coordination mechanisms on climate change; Facilitating effective mobilization and utilization of natural, human, technical and financial resources available both nationally and internationally; Development of 10 | P a g e appropriate economic incentives to encourage public and private sector investment in both adaptation and mitigation measures; Enhancing the awareness, skills and institutional capacity of relevant stakeholders in implementing climate change adaptation and mitigation measures and promoting conservation of natural resources and long-term sustainability. 11 | P a g e CHAPTER 3: PRIORITY CLIMATE CHANGE ACTIONS

4.1.1 Enabling Policy and Regulation There is an enabling Policy and Regulation Framework in Narok. The specific policy documents include: The Narok County Climate Change Fund Act, 2021, Narok County Climate Change Fund Regulation, 2021 and the Narok County Climate Change Policy, 2022

4.1.2 Mainstreaming in the CIDP Narok County has captured and budgeted 3% of its total development budget for Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation measures for FY 2023-2024. Narok County has also mainstreamed Climate Change resilience measures across all Departments in the County.

4.1.3 Multi-stakeholder participation processes The Narok County Climate Change Action Plan 2023-2027 was developed after a comprehensive and participatory climate risk assessment across all the 30 wards in Narok County through consultations at the ward level

4.1.4 Finance - County Climate Change Fund The CECM responsible for finance shall establish a “Narok County Climate Change Fund” for financing climate change related projects. The County Climate Change Fund to be incorporated in the County Annual budgets. The CECM finance shall cause timely availability and accessibility of the funds for expenditure. The fund administrator shall cause access to the fund pursuant to financial statutory requirements for expenditure. The allocation of County Climate Change Fund to various projects in the Ward and County levels shall be done by the County Climate Change Planning Committee using an agreed criterion to be developed by CECM Climate Change Table 1: The County Pathways to Climate Finance Focus Area Description Sources of Climate Finance International, national and county public finance International, national and county private finance Carbon finance Voluntary Climate Finance Intermediaries International organizations Multilateral Banks e.g., World Bank Bilateral agencies e.g., National and County agencies National and County financial institutions Economic and Financial Instruments Power purchase agreements Warrantees Guarantees Insurances Carbon offset flows Grants Concessional loans Capital: Debt and equity financing 37 | P a g e Financial Planning Systems and Institutional Expenditure and budgetary frameworks, arrangements without budget codes.

4.1.5 Governance – Narok County Government Structures

4.1.6 Governance - Climate Change Planning Committees The Narok County Climate Change Act, 2021 requires that Governor to designate a member of the County Executive Committee to coordinate climate change affairs. This is consistent with the approach that all departments and agencies will mainstream climate change actions and only require coordination. The County Executive Committee Member (CECM) responsible for coordinating climate change affairs is also responsible for coordinating the implementation of this Policy. This Policy recognizes the County Executive Committee Member (CECM) currently responsible for Water, Environment, Natural Resources and Energy as the in-charge of the unit for Climate Change affairs in The County of Narok. In addition, the CEM liaises with the County multi-sectoral Disaster Preparedness Unit, Development Partners and Civil Society, among others. The Narok County Climate Change Fund act, 2021 established the County Climate Change Steering Committee (CCCSC) outlining its administrative structure. The County Executive Committee Member (CECM) shall chair the Committee, while the Chief Officer in-charge of climate change matters shall be Secretary to the Committee. 38 | P a g e THE COUNTY CLIMATE CHANGE THE COUNTY STEERING COMMITTEE (CCCSC) ASSEMBLY Enabling legislation [CHAIR: GOVERNOR/ DESIGNATE/CECM] NATIONAL GOVERNMENT SECTORAL AGENCIES THE COUNTY CLIMATE CHANGE PLANNING COMMITEE DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS & CIVIL SOCIETY MULTI-SECTORIAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT UNIT THE COUNTY CLIMATE CHANGE RESOURCE CENTRE (CCCRC) DEPARTMENT IN-CHARGE OF CLIMATE CHANGE MATTERS THE COUNTY CLIMATE DESKS IN THE COUNTY DEPARTMENTS WARD CLIMATE CHANGE PLANNING COMMITTEES PRIVATE SECTOR SECTORIAL AGENCIES Figure 3 Institutional Coordination Structure

4.1.7 Resilience Planning Tools Resource/Hazard Mapping A Resource Map is visual illustration prepared by a community to provide an understanding of the demography, places and resources (land, rivers, hills, field, vegetation and habitation) present in their locality, as well as the use of these resources. A resource map is also used to gather the community’s perception and knowledge of their surrounding and to identify their resources and risks. Mapping as a tool was introduced to the participants. They visualized their area and drew the resource map below with some observations as noted below 39 | P a g e Figure 4 Resource Map

2.2 Historical Timeline/Profile The Historical Timeline is a group exercise that chronologically lists people’s recollection of key events and changes in the history of their community. It reveals trends and leads to discussions about people’s past activities and changes in the community and possibly the broader societal context. The Historical Timeline facilitates people’s learning from the past, as well as recognition of and appreciation of their accomplishments (e.g. livelihoods and coping mechanisms) and resourceful asset use (e.g. existing knowledge, relationships, land). For climate resilience purposes, facilitated discussion about environmental and climate changes and their effects on the community can draw attention to positive and negative trends and lessons learned over time.

2.3. Seasonal Calendar A seasonal calendar is a participatory tool to explore seasonal changes (it helps people explore and understand how ecological, social, and economic aspects of their lives and wellbeing change throughout the year. Specific variables can be used to help people explore agro-ecological and climatic variations that may better inform their own planning, decision-making and risk mitigation and disaster preparedness initiatives. The tool reveals annual and cyclical patterns in a community that deepen people’s understanding of the effects of changes throughout the year. Possible patterns and seasonal correlations that people may learn from include: climate (rain fall and temperatures), crop sequences (pests and diseases), food availability, forage patterns, workloads (agriculture and nonagriculture), work type and load differences (between men, women, and children), social events, migration, income and expenditures, credit requests and repayment, clean water availability, and disease prevalence. The Seasonal Calendar also calls people’s attention to the similarities and differences in livelihood-, community- and gender-specific workloads. The participants come up with social- economic activities undertaken throughout the year as shown in the table below. 42 | P a g e Table 2 Seasonal activity calendar for A particular ward in Narok County central ward Months Activity Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec 1 Church x x x gathering 2 School x x x openings 3 Livestock x x trade 4 Marketing x x (Long season) 5 Land x x x x preparatio n (short season) 6 Form 1 x admission 7 Planting x x x x 8 Weeding x x 9 Cultural x x x activities 10 School x x x closing 11 Pest control x x x 12 Diseases x x x outbreak 13 Vaccinatio n x x 14 Family x gatherings 15 Harvesting x (short rains)

2.4. Venn Diagram - Institutional and Social Network Analysis The Venn Diagram is a participatory tool that helps to understand the community’s perceptions about organizations, individuals, programs, the power structure and the decision-making processes in the community. A Venn Diagram shows the relative importance of various institutions in the community, relationships and linkages among them, weaknesses with respect to decision making processes, development of the community by institutions, duplication of efforts and gap identification between institutions, objectives, and felt needs of community, and concentration of power within the ward. 43 | P a g e Key organizations working in A particular ward in Narok County central ward were mapped and assigned circles of different sizes based on their perceived importance, their roles and how the community feel about the activities implemented by the organizations in response to their needs. Big circles represented organizations that are important to the community and with the most roles in provision of safety nets; and the circles closest to the middle point/residents of the universal set represented organizations that the community feel that their interventions/activities respond to their social needs. Figure 5 A particular ward in Narok County Central Ward Venn Diagram

2.5. Leaky Bucket Leaky bucket is a useful tool for understanding how a local economy works. The tool enables the participants to identify and quantify the main flows of money coming into and out of their community. In turn, this process often leads to revealing economic opportunities, which may help community members improve their household and community well-being. By imagining the community’s economy as a bucket with money flowing in and out, people can understand the importance of retaining money within the community. They can start to identify ways of increasing the flow of income into the community and preventing the leakage of money out of the community which happens when goods and services are purchased outside. This tool was used by the participants to identify opportunities for income generation and their spending at a household level. They identified where most of their expenses fell, helping them to analysis what is important for them and their vulnerability relative to their income. It helped them to identify their resilience in case of a climate disaster. 44 | P a g e Figure 6 A particular ward in Narok County Central Leaky Bucket

2.6 Access and Control This tool helps to analyse who has the authority over assets access and control in the household between men and women. Table 3 Evaluation of Access and Control of asset in A particular ward in Narok County central ward ASSET MEN WOMEN Access Control Access Control Land ✓   X Cows ✓   X Goats ✓   X Sheep ✓   X Chicken ✓ X   House ✓ ✓ (50%)   (50%) Farm ✓ ✓  X

2.7 Daily Clock The Daily Activity Clock illustrates all the different kinds of activities carried out in one day. It is particularly useful for looking at relative workloads between different groups of people in the community, e.g., women, men, rich, poor, young and old. Comparisons between Daily Activity Clocks show who works the longest hours, who must divide their time for a multitude of activities, and who has the most leisure time and sleep. This knowledge is helpful in determining who should be targeted by an activity and assess the potential and actual impact of the activity on beneficiaries’ workload. The tool also illustrates the distribution of labour within a household/community. 45 | P a g e Table 4 Tabulation of daily activities of based on daily clock TIME MEN WOMEN 5.00am Sleeping Fetching water 6.00am sleeping Cooking, taking breakfast 7.00am Looking after livestock Cleaning utensils, house 8.00am Taking breakfast cleaning 9.00am Farming/business Milking cows 10.00am Farming/ business milking 11.00am Farming/ tea break Cooking tea/taking milk to cooler/looking for vegetables 12.00Noon Farming/ tea break Cooking lunch 1.00pm Taking cows for Serving/feeding children water/eating lunch/betting 2.00pm Taking a shower & preparing Cleaning utensils/washing children & to go to town/visiting friends clothes/taking a shower 3.00pm In town/friends/catching Fetching water/checking/watering cattle/looking up/playing pool/lotto/draft for vegetables 4.00pm Still in town Shopping centre for shopping 5.00pm Taking tea/beer & watching Cooking tea for children/collecting firewood world cup/games Locking livestock 6.00pm Still watching Bringing cows home and Milking worldcup/betting 7.00pm Watching news in town Cooking dinner & watching news 8.00pm Eating dinner Eating dinner 9.00pm Watching news Watching news /cleaning utensils 10.00pm Sleeping sleeping

2.8 Wealth Ranking Wealth ranking is a participatory exercise where participants rank households in the community according to their evaluation of each household’s resources. The ranking from this exercise is like a weighted average of the household’s resources and it is important to note that higher weights are implicitly given to resources considered socially more important by the participants and may not align with a ranking of households based on a survey of assets. The wealth ranking tool is essential in assessing the capacity of the community in building climate change resilience. The more the wealthier the society is, the abler they are able to adapt to the impacts of climate change and recover from a climate disaster/hazard 46 | P a g e Table 5 Perception wealth scale to measure wealth in A particular ward in Narok County central ward Indicator Rich class Middle class Poor Land >55ha 25% >25ha 45% < 5ha 30% Cows >100 20% >50 55% <2 25% Sheep >100 >50 <5 Goats >50 >25 <2 Poultry >100 >50 <10 Maize >50ha >25ha <2ha Sugar cane >50ha >25ha <1ha 47 | P a g e CHAPTER 5: MEASUREMENT, REPORTING AND VERIFICATION There shall be established an upgraded early warning systems to enable monitoring of climatic events to make reliable projections of climate change scenarios, seasonal forecasts and inter-annual forecasts. The Monitoring &Evaluation Framework shall be clearly linked to the planned outcomes and outputs of the CCCIS adopted by all concerned stakeholders. The Framework shall specify performance indicators and targets for each action priority and strategic action and will propose accountabilities for the actors that are tasked to implement them. Each County Department and Agencies for which specific accountabilities shall be identified, to ensure enforcement of the relevant action priorities and measures, using means and mechanisms at its disposal or to be identified as part of the process of development of costed CCCIS to follow. In addition to monitoring and enforcement against the Framework, the implementation of the NaCCCAP shall undergo an independent external evaluation in midterm. Recommendations made thereof shall feed into the revision process for this Action Plan and the amendment of the resulting legislation instruments. Such revisions shall be conducted based on thorough public participation consultation processes and reviews of the results at that point in time Reporting mechanism begins at ward level where the, ward planning committee reports the achieved information to the county planning committee after being informed by the county climate change Unit. At this level, the NaCCCAP is discussed through rigorous meeting by the county steering committee which is also informed by the County Climate Change Unit. The county Executive Committee Member- Environment received the discussed proposals and presents them for discussions at the county assembly being steered by Chief Officer in Charge of Environment. Then the final discussed draft is presented to the county Governor who intern presents to the national government through the council of governors. The reporting pathways that shall apply in the implementation of this policy are outlined below The County Governor The County Executive Committee The County Assembly Member-Environment Climate Change Chief Officer in- Director (CCD) charge of Environment The County Steering Committee The County Climate Change Unit Ward Planning Committee Figure 7 County Reporting Structure 48 | P a g e
