Accepted Paper:
Mapping climate finance in Kenyan devolved governments - A case study of Makueni County.

Paper short abstract:
This paper analyses development expenditures by the Kenyan Ministries based on the Kenya National Budget data and the most relevant expenditure for financing climate activities and the enablers of the same.
Paper long abstract:
The paper analyses one of the four main types of expenditures of the Kenya National Budget namely the Development Expenditures (DE) from the Kenyan Ministries that are most relevant for funding climate activities. The climate-related expenditures tracked represent 18% of development expenditures or 3.3% of the cumulative Government expenditures for FY 2017/18. This analysis is based on data obtained directly from the Integrated Financial Management and Information System (IFMIS) of the National Treasury of Kenya. The Government disbursed KES 76 billion in climate-related development expenditures in the FY 2017/18.
Kenya is divided into 47 counties that are governed by county governments that are distinct from the national government. The county governments generate both their own revenue and receive allocations from the national government based on an approved revenue allocation formula.
In this regard, the research team is using Makueni County as a case study to understand level of devolution by analyzing the streams of income from the development expenditures from the national budget to the county budget that are financing climate related programs and activities at the county levels. Preliminary analysis shows a strong correlation between the climate friendly policies and the flow of funds for climate change at the county level. Other factors include the establishment of a local climate change fund through the Climate Change Fund Mechanism (CCCF). These factors have enabled the counties to create, access, and use climate finance to build communities' resilience and reduce vulnerabilities to climate change in a coordinated way.
