The purpose of this section of Kenya’s National Climate Change Action Plan is to assess the broader enabling framework and environment for private sector low carbon investment in Kenya, so as to provide recommendations for improvement. It addresses the policy and regulatory environment for renewable energy and energy efficiency, and the existence of government incentives and barriers in that environment. It analyzes the issue of how to access finance and the relevant barriers, and looks at perceived and actual institutional strengths and weaknesses of businesses and financial institutions. Finally, it makes a series of recommendations for improvement, including on potential implementing agencies.
