Abstract: This document outlines: 1) the nature of the plastic pollution problem in Kenya,2) available information about the national,subnational,and to a smaller extent,international policy landscape guiding government approaches to the plastic pollution problem in Kenya,and 3) what,if any,information exists about the effectiveness of these policy approaches. This document is written using a basic literature review process and with support from the Plastics Policy Inventory,as outlined in the Appendix (below),and is not exhaustive. It contains the most up-to-date information at time of publication,but this information may eventually be less relevant as the policy landscape continues to evolve. The authors were not able to get expert review for this case study,to ensure the information gathered aligns closely with what experts and practitioners are observing and experiencing on the ground. If conducting research on the plastic pollution crisis in Kenya,we recommend you use this document as one of many resources available to better understand the problem and its solutions.
