Abstract: The Aide-Memoire summarizes the Kenya CIF-NPC Joint Mission held from November 18-22, 2024, in Nairobi, with field visits to Lower Victoria and Rift Valley basins. Coordinated by NETFUND, the mission involved consultations with stakeholders to develop the country-led CIF-NPC Investment Plan, focusing on nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation. Key agreements include adopting a landscape approach for water catchment management, prioritizing intervention areas in counties such as Laikipia, Nyandarua, and Nakuru, and allocating US$34 million through Multilateral Development Banks (World Bank, IFC, AfDB) and US$4 million for Indigenous and local communities via the Dedicated Grant Mechanism. The plan, disclosed on December 11, 2024, integrates feedback from ministries, communities, and other partners, aligning with Kenya?s climate and development strategies. Next steps include independent review and submission to the CIF Secretariat by January 17, 2025.
