Low Emission and Climate Resilient

Development Project

Outcomes

1) National climate change coordination processes

strengthened

2) Access to clean and efficient energy systems enhanced

3) A national sustainable GHG inventory system established

4) National and county decision making tools for climate

change interventions improved

5) Climate knowledge management and capacity enhanced

6) Impacts of extreme climate events for improved and

resilient livelihoods minimized

The Low Emission Capacity Building project supported building capacity to develop:

GHG national inventory system

Nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs)

The Project responds to capacity gaps in the national GHG inventory system as identified in the Initial National Communication (INC) to the UNFCCC:

Inadequate data storage and management systems on an annual basis, lack of documented and archived procedures

Lack of local empirical emission factors, hence the application of IPCC default values despite the inconsistency with local conditions in some instances

1) Planning, Communication and Institutional Arrangements

2) Data Collection, Documentation, Software Applications and Analysis Methods

3) Development, Review and Description of QA/QC Procedures

4) Development, Review and Description of Archiving System

5) Key category analysis KCA and Uncertainty Assessment

6) Development of National Inventory Improvement Plan (NIIP)

7) Strengthening National Capacities for Inventory Planning and Management.

VII. Data Sharing Procedures

VIII. Identified Gaps

1) Inadequate of awareness on the importance of GHG

inventories within some of relevant institutions – All

sectors but mainly IPPU and Waste

2) Current data collection systems not tailored for GHG

inventory leading to poor disaggregation and formats

– all sectors

3) Inadequate technical capacity to generate

appropriate activity datasets at source level; policy,

communication structure, formats, Funding

4) Inadequate documentation of relevant information;

VIII. Identified Gaps Cont’

6) Inadequate measures to incorporate the

devolved governance systems; County

Governments

7) Inadequate country specific activity data and

emission factors

8) Few dedicated staff and or staff time for GHG

inventory compilation

9) Inconsistent and incomplete data collection with

low levels of reliability and transparency,

IX. Required Actions

1) Institutional frameworks that support the implementation and maintenance of sustainable national GHG Inventory management system; especially to facilitate data collection and archiving.

2) Establish and implement a systematic, standardized process and formats to collect, assess and share activity data and or maps and documentations.

3) Integration of GHG requirements in annual national reporting/statistics reports

IX. Required Actions Cont’

4) Develop/ generate up to date and nationally agreed upon land use classification schemes and spatial LULCF data (1990 to 2014 with up to 2030 projection) data sets using the free Landsat Imagery.

5) Awareness creation among key stakeholders as identified in the capacity building project tasks

6) Consider data collection at the county level and other source level

7) Strengthening Capacities for Data Archiving, Analysis and Management

Development of Kenya Specific Emission Factors

Training on ‘Measurement of greenhouse gases from

the Agricultural Sector” (21st- 24th March, 2016).

Training in collaboration with IAEA and KALRO

30 participants trained with different expertise

that will form part of the pool of experts to be

trained to carry out research work on Kenya

specific emission factors in the AFOLU sector

Review and development of Kenya specific emission

factors including research with collaborating institution
