Abstract: This Case Study seeks to document the evolution of the Acorn Green Bond as Kenya’s pioneer issuance in that category. It seeks to document how Acorn was able to ride on the momentum of an active Green Bonds advocacy program, while borrowing from international best practice and a fairly well developed, albeit untested, local regulatory framework.
