FSD Kenya has a green finance project dedicated to supporting the development of a green finance ecosystem and a greener real economy that is resilient to climatic and other environmental shocks, resource efficient and generates green investment, employment, and income generation opportunities for low-income Kenyans.
FSD Kenya’s Green Finance Project has three focus areas: i) Policy and regulation; ii) Market-driven engagement; and iii) Knowledge, research, and thought leadership. When FSD Kenya started the activities of the green finance project in 2021, the organisation had limited gravitas in green and climate finance policy. In under three years, the FSD Kenya green finance project has become a trusted advisor and technical partner to national and county governments, private sector, and development actors on green, climate and carbon finance policy and strategy.
This case study provides examples of the policy leadership work by the green finance project and provides insight on strategies that have proven effective in fostering meaningful and fruitful collaboration with government partners.
