Project Context and Scope

In Kenya, the National Climate Change Action Plan (NCCAP) serves as the primary framework for implementing Kenya's climate commitments, including the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC), Long-Term Low Emissions Development Strategies (LT-LEDS), and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs). The NCCAP III (2023–2027) outlines eight priority areas for climate action, specifying both adaptation and mitigation measures, alongside enabling actions such as policy development, capacity building, technology and innovation, climate finance, and robust monitoring and reporting mechanisms.

The Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry has initiated the process to review the NCCAP III and develop NCCAP IV. In this context, IOM will support the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, and Forestry in reviewing the NCCAP III and drafting inputs for NCCAP IV, with a particular emphasis on human mobility, including migration, displacement and planned relocation.

This consultancy is commissioned by the CLIMATE CHANGE AND MIGRATION DATA PROGRAMME which contributes to improved evidence-based migration management and reduced risk of irregular migration and displacement occurring, in the context of disasters, climate change and environmental degradation in countries of origin, transit and destination along key migration corridors in North, East, and West Africa.
