The component supports institutional and human capacity to enhance the delivery of low carbon climate resilience actions at the national and county levels. Capacity building is carried out through formal and informal training as well as peer-to-peer and experiential learning.

The component supports (i) policy, and regulatory frameworks for financing climate actions, (ii) capacity of the CoG and County Governments (CG) to support investments in climate resilience and low carbon emissions at local level, (iii) capacity to address climate change emerging issues, (iv) capacity of county structures responsible for climate related sectors; (v) financing of local urban and peri-urban climate actions; (vi) private sector incentivized to support low carbon emissions and climate resilient investments; and (vii) market-based
mechanisms for carbon trade.

The component supports (i) modalities for community-led local initiatives, (ii) capacity of communities to deliver climate resilience actions for improved livelihoods, (iii) local rural, urban and peri-urban climate actions,
(iv) capacity of county structures responsible for climate-related sectors, (v) an incentivized private sector to support low carbon emissions and climate resilient investments, and (vi) market-based mechanisms for carbon trade.

The component supports access to green/environment friendly technologies for low carbon climate resilient investments at the national and county levels, and the ability to finance local green/environment friendly technologies at the national and county levels.

This component’s objective is to improve tracking, verification, and reporting on climate finance by strengthening the structures, systems, and processes for collection, verification, and reporting on climate change at national and county levels.
