Wajir Peace and Development Agency (WPDA)

Environmental Management

Kenya is endowed with abundant natural resources that have potential for transformative effects on the economy if well governed. The GoK has established various frameworks to address global warming/ Climate Change (CC) concerns. These include the National Climate Change Response Strategy (2012); National Climate Change Action Plan (2013-2017); Environmental Management and Coordination Act (1999); National Environment Policy (2013) among others. The GoK has established the Climate Change Fund, besides plans to mainstream CC in all government programmes.

WPDA seeks to contribute to ecological wellbeing and economic resilience. The specific sub areas of focus include. a) Climate Change Governance and Environmental Justice b) Sustainable Livelihoods Development.
